User's Guide SLVU358 – February 2010 Using the TPS51513EVM-549 A Single-Phase, D-CAP+™ Synchronous Buck Controller With Integrated Drivers for General IC VCORE Applications The TPS51513EVM-549 evaluation module (EVM) is a single-phase, D-CAP+™ synchronous buck converter providing 3-bit VID with 0.70-V to 1.05-V output range at up to 20 A from a 12-V input bus. The EVM uses the TPS51513 synchronous buck controller with selectable 250/300/350/500-kHz switching frequency.

Test Setup 4 Test Setup 4.1 Test Equipment www.ti.com Voltage Source: The input voltage source Vin must be a 0-V to 14-V variable dc source capable of supplying 10 Adc. Connect Vin to J1 as shown in Figure 4. Multimeters: A 0-V to 14-V voltmeter (V1) must be used to measure Vin at TP1 (Vin) and TP2 (GND). A 0-V to 5-V voltmeter (V2) is necessary for Vout measurement at TP5(Vout) and TP8(GND). A 0-A to 10-A current meter (A1) as shown in Figure 4 is used for input current measurements.
Configuration www.ti.com 4.2 Recommended Test Setup Load + V2 DC + Source Vin - V1 A1 Figure 4. TPS51513EVM-549 Recommended Test Set Up Figure 4 is the recommended test set up to evaluate the TPS51513EVM-549. Working at an ESD workstation, ensure that any wrist straps, bootstraps, or mats are connected, referencing the user to earth ground before handling the EVM. Input Connections: 1. Prior to connecting the dc input source Vin, it is advisable to limit the source current from Vin to 10 A maximum.
Configuration 5.1 www.ti.com Current Limit Trip Selection (J8: Trip Select) The overcurrent protection (OCP) can be set by J8 Trip Select (TRIPSEL). Default setting is 29A. Table 2.
