EVM Assembly Drawings and Layout
The following figures (Figure 10 through Figure 12 ) show the design of the TPS54386EVM printed circuit
board. The EVM has been designed using a 4-Layer, 2-oz copper-clad circuit board 3.0” x 3.0” with all
components in a 1.15” x 2.15” active area on the top side and all active traces to the top and bottom
layers to allow the user to easily view, probe and evaluate the TPS54386 control device in a practical
double-sided application. Moving components to both sides of the PCB or using additional internal layers
can offer additional size reduction for space constrained systems.
