This user's guide describes the setup, schematic and layout of the evaluation module (EVM) for the TPS61372. The EVM helps to evaluate the behavior and performance of the TPS61372 at different input voltages, output voltages and load conditions. The input voltage is from 2.5 V to 5 V, and the output voltage is set to 12 V. This can be changed through external feedback resistors. Two jumpers are placed to test the EN and MODE pin function.

The TPS61372EVM is manufactured before the TPS61372 is finally released, so the IC in the EVM may be not the final version. The marking on the IC indicates "XTPS" instead of "TPS" for the final IC version. The reference voltage, switching frequency and current limitation may have larger variations. For example, the reference voltage of the IC is approximately 4% higher than specified value. However, the output ripple, efficiency, line and load transient and other behaviors of the IC are the same as the final version IC.
