1 Description
The TPS53681EVM implements a typical application for a low-voltage, high current dual output power converter, operating from a nominal 12-V input rail to produce a 0.9-V output rail at up to 294 A of load current and a 0.8-V rail at up to 47 A. The EVM includes test points for evaluating the performance of the TPS53681 controller and CSD95490 power stages.
For ease of evaluation, the EVM requires only one (12-V) input supply and an output load to get started with testing, however the user can opt to independently provide 5-V for greater control over the Power Stage voltage. With the addition of the Fusion Digital Power™ Designer software, the EVM’s PMBus™ interface allows access to the controller NVM for evaluation of additional configuration, control and monitoring possibilities. Refer to the TPS53681 datasheet (SLUSCT1) for complete information on configuring multi-phase operation with this controller.

5 Test Setup
5.1 Test and Configuration Software
The Texas Instruments Fusion Digital Power Designer software can expand the functionality of the EVM. To download this software, visit the Fusion Digital Power Software page.
5.1.1 Description
The Fusion Digital Power Designer is a graphical user interface (GUI) used to configure, control and monitor the TPS53681 controller on the EVM. The software uses the PMBus™ protocol to communicate with the controller over a serial bus by way of the TI USB-to-GPIO Adapter.
5.1.2 TI Fusion Digital Power Designer Features
The software offers these features:
Turn on or off the power supply output, either through the hardware control line or the PMBus™
Operation command.
Monitor real-time data. Items such as input voltage, input current, output voltage, output current,
temperature, warnings and faults are continuously monitored and displayed by the GUI.
Configure common operating characteristics such as output voltage trim and margin, VINUVLO, soft-
start slew rate, switching frequency, and warning and fault thresholds.
5.2 Test Equipment
www.ti.com
5.2.1 Voltage Sources
Only one DC input voltage sources is needed (VIN). The VIN input voltage source should be a 0 V to 14 V variable DC source capable of supplying 40 Adc. Connect VIN to terminals J6 and J7 as shown in
Figure 9.
For greater control during testing, one can remove jumpers from J2 and J4 to bypass the onboard 5-V power supply. This external supply should be limited to 1 Adc.
5.2.2 Multimeters
It is recommended to use two separate multimeters, one meter to measure VINand the other to measure V
.
OUT
5.2.3 Output Load
An electronic load is recommended for the test setup shown in Figure 9. To observe the Rail A at full load the electronic load should be capable of sinking 294 A at 0.9-V (Rail B, 47 A at 0.8-V).
5.2.4 Oscilloscope
Use an oscilloscope to measure output noise and ripple. Use a coaxial cable to measure output ripple across the output ceramic capacitors.
5.2.5 Fan
During prolonged operation at high load (More than 100 A), it is necessary to provide forced air cooling with a small fan aimed at the EVM. Maintain the temperature of the devices on the EVM under 115°C.
5.2.6 USB-to-GPIO Interface Adapter
A communications adapter is required between the EVM and the host computer. This EVM is designed to use the Texas Instruments USB-to-GPIO adapter connected to J12. To purchase this adapter visit the TI
USB-to_GPIO tool page.

Test Procedure
7.2 High Current Operation
When operating at with loads larger than 100A, one must provide ample cooling to the board, particularly towards the CSD95490 power stages. Provide at least 100CFM of airflow over the power stages to keep the board within its thermal limits. By default, this board will stop delivering a switching signal to power stages when they reach a temperature above 115°C.
Similarly, when using the onboard transient load, one mustn't use a duty cycle wider than 20%, otherwise the load resistors will overheat.

7.5 Efficiency
In order to observe the efficiency of the power train on the EVM, it is important to measure the input and output voltages at specific locations on the input and output capacitors nearest the power-stages. This is necessary to prevent the inclusion of losses that are not specifically related to the power train itself, such as losses incurred by the voltage drop in the copper traces or in the input and output connectors. It is recommended that voltage measurements are measured with reference to the same ground.
Input current can be measured at any point in the input wires, and output current can be measured anywhere in the output wires of the output being measured.
Figure 11 shows the measurement points that were used for the input voltage and output voltage. Using
these measurement points results in an efficiency derivation which does not include losses due to the connectors and PCB traces.
Also make sure to provide the 5-V gate drive voltage separately through J1 (leaving J2 and J4 open) if one wishes to observe efficiency independent of gate-drive and controller losses. R1, R2, R5, and R10 are installed as shunts to help the user measure current in the auxiliary and drive circuits.

If the user selects to change a parameter then the GUI will display an orange “U” icon, which is offering an [Undo Change] option, as shown in Figure 51. The software will not update the controller with the change until the user performs a [Write to Hardware].
When a [Write to Hardware] is performed, the change will be implemented in the controller and stored in it's volatile memory. Given that the parameter is stored in volatile memory, if the EVM is power cycled, the parameter will revert back to the previous setting.
If the user wishes to make this the new default value for the parameter then a [Store Config to NVM] must be performed, which commits the value to non-volatile memory.
