The TPS53119EVM-690 evaluation module allows users to evaluate the Texas Instruments TPS53119, a
small-sized, single, buck controller with adaptive on-time D-CAP™ mode control. Included in this
document are operating and testing descriptions as well as the EVM schematic, bill of materials, and
board layout.
The TPS53119EVM-690 evaluation module (EVM) uses the TPS53119 device. The TPS53119 is a smallsize, single buck controller with adaptive on-time D-CAP™ mode control. It provides a fixed 1.1-V output
at up to 25 A from a 12-V input bus. TPS53119EVM-690 also uses the 5-mm × 6-mm TI power block
MOSFET (CSD86350Q5D) for high power density and superior thermal performance.
2Description
The TPS53119EVM-690 is designed to use a regulated 12-V bus to produce a regulated 1.1-V output at
up to 25 A of load current. The TPS53119EVM-690 is designed to demonstrate the TPS53119 in a typical
low-voltage application while providing test points to evaluate the performance of the TPS53119.
2.1Typical Applications

•Server computer
•Multifunction printer
•Embedded computing
2.2Features
The TPS53119EVM-690 features:
•25-Adc, steady-state output current
•Support prebias output voltage start-up
•High efficiency and high power density by using TI power block MOSFET
•J1 for selectable switching frequency setting
•J2 for selectable internal voltage servo soft start
•J3 for enable function
•J6 for auto-skip and forced CCM selection
•Convenient test points for probing critical waveforms
Voltage Source: The input voltage source VINmust be a 0-V to 14-V variable dc source capable of
supplying 10 Adc. Connect Vin to J4 as shown in Figure 3.
Multimeters:
V1: VINat TP7 (Vin) and TP8 (GND).
V2: V
A1: Vin input current
Output Load: The output load must be an electronic constant resistance mode load capable of 0 Adc to
30 Adc at 1.1 V.
Oscilloscope: A digital or analog oscilloscope can be used to measure the output ripple. The oscilloscope
must be set for 1-MΩ impedance, 20-MHz bandwidth, ac coupling, 2-µs/division horizontal resolution, 50mV/division vertical resolution. Test points TP14 and TP15 can be used to measure the output ripple
voltage by placing the oscilloscope probe tip through TP14 and holding the ground barrel on TP15 as
shown in Figure 2. Using a leaded ground connection may induce additional noise due to the large ground
loop.

Fan: Some of the components of this EVM may approach temperatures of 60°C during operation. A small
fan capable of 200-400 LFM is recommended to reduce component temperatures while the EVM is
operating. The EVM must not be probed if the fan is not running.
Recommended Wire Gauge:
1. VINto J4 (12-V input):
2. J5 to LOAD:

The recommended wire size is 1 × AWG 14 per input connection, with the total length of wire less than
4 feet (2-foot input, 2-foot return).
The minimum recommended wire size is 2 × AWG 14, with the total length of wire less than 4 feet (2foot output, 2-foot return)
Figure 3 is the recommended test setup to evaluate the TPS53119EVM-690. Working at an ESD
workstation, make sure that any wrist straps, bootstraps, or mats are connected referencing the user to
earth ground before power is applied to the EVM.
Input Connections:
1. Prior to connecting the dc input source VIN, it is advisable to limit the source current from VINto 10 A
maximum. Ensure that VINis initially set to 0 V and connected as shown in Figure 3.
2. Connect a voltmeter V1 at TP7 (VIN) and TP8 (GND) to measure the input voltage.
3. Connect a current meter A1 to measure the input current.
Output Connections:
1. Connect load to J5, and set Load to constant resistance mode to sink 0 Adc before VINis applied.
2. Connect a voltmeter V2 at TP14 (V
) and TP15 (GND) to measure the output voltage.

Other Connections:
Place a fan as shown in Figure 3 and turn it on, ensuring that air is flowing across the EVM.
