TPS54614EVM-183

EVALUATION BOARD, SYNC BUCK CONVERTER.

The TPS54614EVM-183 is an evaluation module for TPS54614 synchronous buck regulator to provide a 1.8V output. This voltage is maintained over an input range of 3.0V to 6.0V, and over a load range of 0A to 6A. The TPS54614 evaluation module circuitry contains only seven electrical components covering an area less than one square inch. The TPS54614 has two key features that reduce the number of additional components compared to traditional synchronous buck controllers. The first feature is that the MOSFETs are incorporated inside the TPS54614 package. This eliminates the need for external MOSFETs and their associated drivers. The second feature is that the compensation components that stabilize the feedback loop are also incorporated inside the TPS54614 package. Because the internal compensation of the TPS54614 is fixed, loop stability is assured by the proper selection of an output inductor and output capacitor.
