TPS65980EVM
1 Introductions
The Texas Instruments TPS65980EVM evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation
and performance of the TPS65980: a DC/DC switching regulator that receives power from a Thunderbolt
bus ranging from 2.5V to 15.75V on TBT_IN and generates three separate 3.3V supply outputs
TBT_OUT, CBL_OUT, and DEV_OUT.
The TBT_OUT supply provides power to the local peripheral Thunderbolt™ controller and support
circuitry. The CBL_OUT supply provides power back to the Thunderbolt™ cable and has adjustable
current limit. The DEV_OUT supply provides power to all other circuitry in the device to perform its
designed function.
The TPS65980 is available in a 24-pin 5mm x 4mm x 0.9mm QFN package.
