TPS60100 and TPS60110 EVM

The evaluation modules (EVM) for the new Texas Instruments (TI) charge

pump devices TPS60100 and TPS60110 help designers to evaluate the de-

vices. The TPS60100 and TPS60110 charge pumps (also called switched ca-

pacitor DC/DC converters) are regulated voltage doublers.

With these EVMs it is possible to evaluate all different modes of the devices

as well as their performance. Using jumpers to adjust the logic pin voltage lev-

els, the devices can be set into the different modes. You only need a voltage

source to test the operation of the devices.

The layout of charge pumps is critical, similar to the layout of inductive DC/DC

converters. Therefore this given layout is a good tool to reduce evaluation-time

for the designer.
