EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.8 V.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible
damage to the EVM. If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI
field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or
possible permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to
connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,
please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than
125°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 125°C as
long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not
limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense
resistors. These types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the
EVM User’s Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation,
please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

FCC Warning
This equipment is intended for use in a laboratory test environment only. It
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been
tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to subpart
J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other
environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which
case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures
may be required to correct this interference.
Trademark
Powermite is a registered trademark of Microsemi Corporation.
The TPS65100EVM uses a TPS65100 multichannel output IC to provide three
LCD power rails, as well as a linear regulator controller to provide 3.3 V and
a VCOM buffer. The goal of the EVM is to facilitate evaluation of the
TPS65100.
1.2Performance Specification Summary
Table 1−1 provides a summary of the TPS65100EVM performance
specifications. All specifications are given for an ambient temperature of 25°C.
Table 1−1.Typical Performance Specification Summary for VIN = 3.3 V and VOUT1 = 10 V,
1) Maximum currents are determined by ambient conditions.
2) The linear regulator requires VIN ≥ 3.7 V for normal operation and should
be disabled using JP3.
The primary goal of this EVM is to facilitate user evaluation of the TPS65100.
To facilitate user customization of the EVM, the board was designed with
devices having 603 or larger footprints. So, a real implementation would likely
occupy less total board space.
Changing components can improve or degrade EVM performance. For
example, using an inductor with larger dc resistance for the main boost
converter will lower efficiency of the solution. In addition, using a BJT with
lower Beta or in a smaller package will limit the total output current that the
linear regulator can provide.
The main boost converter requires external compensation components (R7,
C11) for stability. This EVM has been optimized for an input voltage of 3.3 V.
If a dif ferent input voltage and/or a dif ferent output voltage is to be applied, the
main boost converter needs to be re-compensated in order to be stable over
the entire load and temperature range (see Table 1−2 and Table 4−2).

This is the positive connection to the input power supply. The leads to the input
supply should be twisted and kept as short as possible.

2-2
2.1.14 JP1 − Mode
This is the charge pump mode pin connector. In order for the charge pump to
operate as a voltage doubler, a jumper is installed to pull the mode pin to GND
and C16 is left unpopulated. In order for the charge pump to operate as a
voltage tripler, the jumper is removed and C16 is populated.
2.1.15 JP2−Enable (EN)
This is the enable pin for the main boost converter (VOUT1). The enable pin
is pulled up to Vin by an onboard pullup resistor. Placing a jumper across pins
2−3 of JP2 shorts the enable pin to GND; thereby disabling the device. Placing
a jumper across pins 1−2 of JP2 connects the enable pin to Vin and enables
the device.
2.1.16 JP3−Enable Regulator (ENR)
This is the enable pin the linear regulator (VOUT4). The enable pin is pulled
up to Vin by an onboard pullup resistor. Placing a jumper across pins 2−3 of
JP3 shorts the enable pin to GND; thereby disabling the device. Placing a
jumper across pins 1−2 of JP3 connects the enable pin to Vin and enables the
device.
Test Setup
2.2Test Setup
The absolute maximum input voltage is 6 V. The TPS65100 is designed to
operate with a maximum input voltage of 5.8 V. Connect a power supply with
3.3 V output voltage and current limit set to at least 3 A. Short pins 1−2 on
jumpers JP2 and JP3 to enable both the main boost converter and linear
regulator. Connect a load not to exceed the maximum loads per Table 1−2 to
each output of the EVM.

Chapter 3
This chapter provides the TPS65100EVM−030 board layout and illustrations.
Board layout is critical for all switch mode power supplies. Figures 3−1, 3−2,
and 3−3 show the board layout for the HPA030 PWB. The switching nodes with
high frequency noise are isolated from the noise sensitive feedback circuitry
and careful attention has been given to the routing of high frequency current
loops. Refer to the data sheet for more specific layout guidelines.
