3 Modifications
These evaluationmodules provideaccesstothefeaturesoftheTPS55340. Some modificationstothis module arepossible.
3.1 Output VoltageSet Point
The resistordividernetworkofR1 and R2 setstheoutputvoltage.Keep R2 fixedatorcloseto10kΩ.To change theoutputvoltageoftheEVM, change thevalueofresistorR1. CalculatethevalueofR1 fora specificoutputvoltageby usingEquation1. (1) Note thatVIN must be ina rangeso thattheon-timeisgreaterthantheminimum controllableon-time (77nstypical),and themaximum dutycycleislessthan89% minimum and 93% typical. Afteradjustingtheoutputvoltagethemaximum inputvoltagemust be takenintoconsideration.The voltageon theinternalFET, theSW pin,isequaltothesum oftheinputvoltageand theoutputvoltage. By usingEquation2 you can determinetherecommended maximum inputvoltage. (2)
3.2 Maximum Output Current
Afteradjustinginputoroutputvoltagesettings,verifythemaximum outputcurrentperEquation3 below, where ILIM isthepeak currentlimitoftheTPS55340 and VF istheforwardvoltagedropoftheexternal schottkydiode(D1).ThisequationcombinesEquations40,42,and 44 fromthedatasheet. (3)
3.3 Slow-StartTime
The slow-starttimecan be adjustedby changingthevalueofC3. The EVM uses C3 = 0.047µF as recommended on thedatasheettoavoidany overshootduringstart-up.A largercapacitanceincreases theslow-starttimewhilea smallercapacitancedecreasesit.
