2Description
The TPS26600-02EVM enables full evaluation of the TPS2660x devices. The EVM supports HTSOP and
QFN versions of the devices on two channels (CH1 and CH2, respectively). Input power is applied at T1
(CH1) and T3 (CH2) while T2 (CH1) and T4 (CH2) provide an output connection to the load. Refer to the
schematic in Figure 1 and the test setup in Figure 2.
S1 and S2 allows U1 and U2 to RESET. A fault (FLTb) indicator is provided by D1 and D7 for CH1 and
CH2, respectively. Scaled current for each can channel be monitored at TP5 and TP14 with a scaling
factor of 1.5 V / A.

Minimum programmable current limit can be changed to 0.1 A by changing the R12 and R24 values to 120 kΩ on CH1 and CH2
respectively.

1. Set the load resistance to 24 Ω ±1 Ω and the power supply voltage to 24 V. Enable the power supply
and the load.
2. Increase the CH1 input voltage (VIN1) and monitor the output voltage (VOUT1). Verify that VOUT1
increases as VN1 increases and drops to zero when VIN1 exceeds 40 V ±1 V (CH1 OVP limit).
3. Reduce the CH1 input voltage and verify that the output turns on at 36 V ±1 V.
4. Further reduce the CH1 input voltage and verify that VOUT1 reduces as VN1 reduces and drops to
zero when VIN1 falls below 9 V ±0.5 V (CH1 UVLO limit).
5. Increase the CH2 input voltage (VIN2) and monitor the output voltage (VOUT2). Verify that VOUT2
increases as VN2 increases and drops to zero when VIN2 exceeds 33 V ±1 V (CH2 OVP limit).
6. Reduce the CH2 input voltage and verify that the output turns on at 30 V ±1 V.
7. Further reduce the CH2 input voltage and verify that VOUT2 reduces as VN2 reduces and drops to
zero when VIN2 falls below 14 V ±0.5 V (CH2 UVLO limit).
8. Verify that CH1 and CH2 FLTb red LEDs (D1/D7) turn on whenever the supply voltage reaches either
OVP or UVLO limits of the respective channels.
9. Disable the power supply and the load.
