Dual Synchronous Step-Down Fixed Output Controller
with 5-V and 3.3-V LDOs
The TPS51225EVM-133 evaluation module (EVM) uses the TPS51225. The TPS51225 is a D-CAP™
mode, dual synchronous step down controller with 5- and 3.3-V low-dropout regulators (LDO). The EVM
provides fixed 5- and 3.3-V outputs at up to 10 A each, from a 12-V input bus.
