This
user’s
guide
describes
the
characteristics,
operation,
and
use
of
the
TPS6105xEVM-141 evaluation module (EVM). This EVM demonstrates the Texas
Instruments TPS6105x synchronous boost converter with down mode used to power
high-current, white-light LEDs for photo flash applications. This user’s guide includes
setup instructions, a schematic diagram, a bill of materials (BOM), and PCB layout
drawings for the evaluation module.

The Texas Instruments TPS6105xEVM-141 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the
operation and performance of the TPS61058 or TPS61059 high-current boost converters for white-light
photo flash applications. The TPS6105x has an externally programmed LED current so that the LED can
be used as a flash for still photography and as a torch, or movie light, for digital movies.
The EVM has one white-flash LED, the TPS6105x converter, and a timing circuit used to make the EVM a
stand-alone flash module.
If desired, other LEDs or LED current settings can be tested on the EVM by changing the feedback
resistors on the EVM. See the TPS6105x data sheet for information on calculating new resistor values.
