3.1.10 Thermal Performance of TPS1685EVM

Use the following instructions to evaluate the thermal performance of TPS1685EVM:

  1. Set the input supply voltage VIN to 54V and current limit of 50A.
  2. Connect the power supply between VIN (connector T1) and PGND (connector T3) and enable the power supply.
  3. Now apply a load of 40A (DC) between VOUT (connector T2) and PGND (connector T3) for half an hour or more to reach the thermal equilibrium point.
  4. Capture the thermal image of the EVM or monitor the voltage at TEMP (TP7) pin using a digital multimeter. Voltage at the TEMP (VTEMP) pin reports the maximum die temperature between two eFuses, which can be obtained using Equation 1.
Equation 1. TJ°C=25+VTEMPmV-6702.75 mV/°C

The thermal performance of TPS1685EVM is shown in Figure 3-13.
