Texas Instruments (TI) provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:

This evaluation kit being sold by TI is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OR EVALUATION

PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be fit for commercial use. As such, the goods being provided

may not be complete in terms of required design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective

considerations, including product safety measures typically found in the end product incorporating the goods.

As a prototype, this product does not fall within the scope of the European Union directive on electromagnetic

compatibility and therefore may not meet the technical requirements of the directive.

Should this evaluation kit not meet the specifications indicated in the EVM User’s Guide, the kit may be returned

within 30 days from the date of delivery for a full refund. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE

WARRANTY MADE BY SELLER TO BUYER AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED,

EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS

It is important to operate this EVM within the input and output voltage ranges specified in the

EVM User’s Guide.

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

55°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 60°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.

1.1 Background

The TPS54973EVM−017 evaluation module uses the TPS54973

synchronous buck regulator with disabled sink during startup (DSDS) to

provide an output voltage from 0.9 V to 2.5 V from a nominal 3.3-V input. Rated

input voltage and output current ranges are listed in Table 1−1. This evaluation

module is designed to demonstrate the small PCB areas that may be achieved

when designing with the TPS54973 regulator. The switching frequency is set

at a nominal 700 kHz, allowing the use of a small footprint 0.6-µH output

inductor.

The MOSFETs of the TPS54973 are incorporated inside the TPS54973

package. This eliminates the need for external MOSFETs and their associated

drivers. The low drain-to-source on resistance of the MOSFETs provides the

TPS54973 high efficiency and helps to keep the junction temperature low at

high output currents. The compensation components are provided external to

the IC and allow for an adjustable output voltage and a customizable loop

response. The disabled sink during startup (DSDS) feature allows the

TPS54973 regulator to be used in applications where it is necessary to prebias

the output to maintain a specified difference between I/O and core voltages

during startup.
