  • Page 10: Background

    Background 1.1 Background The TPS54980 tracking dc/dc converter is designed to provide accurate power sequencing in applications where two or more voltages are required for a load. These types of applications include core and I/O power supplies for microprosessors, DSPs, and FPGAs. Typically, some specific relation between the core and I/O supply voltages has to be provided during the power up and power down sequences.

    Input/Output Connections 2.1 Input/Output Connections The TPS54980EVM−022 has the following three input/output connectors: VIN J1, VOUT I/O J2, and VOUT CORE J3. A diagram showing the connection points is shown in Figure 2−1. A power supply capable of supplying 8 A should be connected to J1 through a pair of 20 AWG wires.
  • Page 17: Efficiency

    Efficiency 2.2 Efficiency The TPS54980EVM−022 efficiency peaks at a load current of about 1 A to 2 A and then decreases as the load current increases towards full load. Figure 2−2 shows the efficiency of the TPS54980 at an ambient temperature of 25°C. The efficiency is lower at higher ambient temperatures due to temperature variation in the drain-to-source resistance of the MOSFETs.
  • Page 18: Power Dissipation

    2.3 Power Dissipation The low junction-to-case thermal resistance of the PWP package, along with well designed board layout, allows the TPS54980EVM-022 EVM to output full rated load current while maintaining safe junction temperatures. With a 3.3-V input source and a 9-A load, the junction temperature is approximately 60°C, while the case temperature is approximately 55°C.

    I/O voltage. If the resistors R6 = R1 and R7 = R2, then the core voltage tracks the I/O voltage. The start up voltage waveform of the TPS54980EVM-022 for this condition is shown in Figure 2−11. The waveform shows that the core voltage regulator tracks the output of the I/O regulator until the core regulator reaches its nominal 1.8-V level.
