1 Description
The TPSM8D6C24 is a configurable dual-output buck converter module. The TPSM8D6C24EVM-2PH uses a
nominal 12-V bus to produce a regulated 0.8-V output at up to 70 A of load current. The TPSM8D6C24EVM-2PH
demonstrates the dual phase capability.
1.1 Before You Begin
The following warnings and cautions are noted for the safety of anyone using or working close to the
TPSM8D6C24EVM-2PH. Observe all safety precautions.
Warning
The TPSM8D6C24EVM-2PH circuit module can become hot during operation due
to dissipation of heat. Avoid contact with the board. Follow all applicable safety
procedures applicable to the laboratory.
!
Caution
Do not leave the EVM powered when unattended.
WARNING
The circuit module has signal traces, components, and component leads on the bottom of the board.
This can result in exposed voltages, hot surfaces, or sharp edges. Do not reach under the board
during operation.
CAUTION
The circuit module can be damaged by over temperature. To avoid damage, monitor the temperature
during evaluation and provide cooling, as needed, for the system environment.
CAUTION
Some power supplies can be damaged by application of external voltages. If using more than
one power supply, check the equipment requirements and use blocking diodes or other isolation
techniques, as needed, to prevent damage to the equipment.
CAUTION
The communication interface is not isolated on the EVM. Be sure no ground potential exists between
the computer and the EVM. Also be aware that the computer is referenced to the battery-potential of
the EVM.
