2.2 Modifications

The evaluation module is designed to provide access to the features of the TPS568236. Some modifications can

be made to this module.

2.2.1 Output Voltage Setpoint

To change the output voltage of the EVM, change the value of resistor R4 (Rupper) and R6 (Rlower). The value of

R4 and R6 for a specific output voltage can be calculated using Equation 1.

3 Implementation Results

This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS568236EVM. The section also includes

test results typical for the evaluation modules.

3.1 Evaluation Setup

1. Make sure that the jumper at JP2 (Enable High Control) is covered to connect VIN to pin 1 of JP3. Also

make sure JP3 (Enable Control) pin 2 and 3 are covered to shunt EN to GND to disable the output.

2. Apply appropriate input voltage to VIN (J1-1) or TP1 and GND (J1-2) or TP8. Connect a power supply

capable of supplying 8-A to J1 through a pair of 20AWG wires. Note that the board cannot support hot

plug-in. The input lines must be connected between J1 and an external power source first before turning on

the power source.

3. Move the jumper at JP3 (Enable Control) from pin 2 and 3 (EN and OFF) to pin 2 and 1 (EN and ON) and

make sure JP2 pin 1 and pin 2 are covered. Then, the output can be enabled.

4. Apply the loading to VOUT (J2-2) or TP4 and GND (J2-1) or TP10. The load must be connected to J2

through a pair of 20AWG wires. The maximum load current capability is 8 A. Minimize wire lengths to reduce

losses in the wires.

4.2 PCB Layout

The following figures show the board layout for the TPS568236EVM. TPS568236EVM is with four layers. The

top layer contains the main power traces for VIN, VOUT, and GND. Also on the top layer are connections for the

pins of the TPS568236 and a large area filled with ground. Most of the signal traces are also located on the top

side. The input decoupling capacitors C4, C5, and C6 are located as close to VIN pins and PGND pins of the IC

as possible. The input and output connectors, test points, and all of the components are located on the top side.

The bottom layer is a ground plane along with signal ground copper fill and the feedback trace from the point of

regulation to the top of the resistor divider network. Two inner layers are ground plane.
