2 Configurations and Modifications

These evaluation modules are designed to provide access to the features of the TPSM843620. The design provides jumpers for testing different configurations. Jumper selections must be made prior to enabling the TPSM843620.

If a desired configuration is not available, then some modifications can be made to this module. When modifications are made to the components on the EVM, there is a possibility that the internal compensation option selected with the MODE pin resistor needs to be changed. Changes to the fSW, output voltage, and output capacitors can require a change in the compensation. TPSM843620 data sheet equations or WEBENCH can be used to calculate the output capacitor value, compensation, and fSW. Make sure all components have sufficient voltage and current ratings.
