1.1 Background
The TPS54519 dc/dcconverterisdesignedtoprovideup toa 5-A outputfroman inputvoltagesourceof 2.95V to6 V.Rated inputvoltageand outputcurrentrangefortheevaluationmodule aregivenin Table1.Thisevaluationmodule isdesignedtodemonstratethesmall,printed-circuit-boardareasthatcan be achievedwhen designingwiththeTPS54519 regulator.The switchingfrequencyisexternallysetata nominal1000 kHz.The high-sideand low-sideMOSFETs areincorporatedinsidetheTPS54519 package alongwiththegatedrivecircuitry.The low,drain-to-sourceon-resistanceoftheMOSFETs allowsthe TPS54519 toachievehighefficienciesand helpskeep thejunctiontemperaturelowathighoutput currents.The compensationcomponents areexternaltotheintegratedcircuit(IC),and an externaldivider allowsforan adjustableoutputvoltage.Additionally,theTPS54519 providesadjustableslowstartand undervoltagelockoutinputs.The absolutemaximum inputvoltageis7 V fortheTPS54519EVM-037.
