Introduction

1 Introduction

The TPS62125 is a 300-mA, synchronous, step-down converter in a 2x2-mm, 8-pin WSON package.

1.1 Background

The TPS62125EVM-044 (PWR044) uses the TPS62125 device and is set to a 3.3-V output. The EVM operates with full-rated performance with an input voltage between 4 V and 17 V, assuming JP1 is connected between ON and EN.
The TPS62125 device contains an adjustable enable threshold and adjustable hysteresis feature. Thus, the input voltage at which the device enables and disables is fully programmable by the user. In the TPS62125EVM-044, the device is set to turn on at 6 V and turn off at 4 V. This feature can be bypassed by using jumper JP1, which overrides the programmed threshold voltages.

1.2 Performance Specification

Table 1 provides a summary of the TPS62125EVM-044 performance specifications. All specifications are
given for an ambient temperature of 25°C.
Table 1. Performance Specification Summary
Specification Test Conditions Min Typ Max Unit
Input voltage JP1 connected between EN and ON 4 17 V Output voltage PWM Mode of Operation 3.3 V Output current 0 300 mA Peak efficiency 93.3% Soft-start time Ramp time of the output voltage 330 µs

1.3 Modifications

The printed-circuit board (PCB) for this EVM accommodates additional input and output capacitors, as well as a feedforward capacitor.
1.3.1 Input and Output Capacitors
C3 is provided for an additional input capacitor. This capacitor is not required for proper operation but can be used to reduce the input voltage ripple.
C4 is provided for an additional output capacitor. This capacitor is not required for proper operation but can be used to reduce the output voltage ripple and to improve the load transient response. The total output capacitance must remain within the recommended range in the data sheet for proper operation.
1.3.2 Feedforward Capacitor
C6 is provided for a feedforward capacitor. This capacitor is not required for proper operation but can be used to improve the transient response. Typically, using a 22-pF feedforward capacitor reduces or eliminates any output voltage overshoot that may occur at start-up. C6 is located on the back side of the PCB.

Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements, and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are sold subject to TIs terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TIs standard warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
