SLVU405 – August 2010 TPS7A30-49EVM-567 Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated 1 Introduction 1 www.ti.com Introduction The Texas Instruments TPS7A30-49EVM-567 EVM helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the TPS7A3001 and/or the TPS7A4901 LDO regulator for possible use in their circuit applications. This particular EVM configuration is preconfigured to output –15 Vdc and +15 Vdc for ease of demonstration in certain standard industrial applications, e.g., requiring positive and negative voltages to power an operational amplifier-based, signal-conditioning circuitry. Alternatively, each LDO channel can be adjusted individually to any output voltage between 1.2 V and 33 V (negative and positive, respectively) as required by only changing a resistor value in accordance with the given equation. The TPS7A3001 can supply up to 200-mA-rated load current and the TPS7A4901 can supply up to 150 mA each using the MSOP-8, PowerPAD™ package. Both circuits have been optimized for ac performance including PSRR and load transient response using capacitors rated over the full voltage range of each regulator. 2 Setup This section describes the jumpers and connectors on the EVM as well as how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS7A30-49EVM-567. 2.1 Negative Voltage Input/Output Connectors and Jumper Descriptions For TPS7A3001 LDO Circuit • • • • • 2.2 Positive Voltage Input/Output Connectors and Jumper Descriptions fo the TPS7A4901 LDO Circuit • • • • • 2.3 J1 (–VIN) – The negative input supply voltage connector.

Connect the negative voltage lead from the negative side of the supply to the J1 (–VIN) connector of the EVM. Connect the ground lead from the positive side of the power supply to J2 (GND) of the EVM. • Connect a 0-mA to 200-mA load between the negative output, J4 (–VOUT) and the negative output return at J5 (GND). 2.4.2 Positive Voltage LDO, TPS7A4901, Interconnect Positive Input Supply Voltage: Turn off the positive input power supply after verifying that its output voltage is less than +35 V. Connect the positive voltage lead from the positive side of the supply to the J6 (+VIN) connector of the EVM. Connect the ground lead from the negative side of the power supply to J7 (GND) of the EVM. • Connect a 0-mA to 150-mA load between the positive output, J9 (+VOUT), and the negative output return at J10 (GND). • 3 Operation • • • • • • 4 Turn on the negative voltage input power supply to J1 (–VIN). For initial operation, it is recommended that the negative input power supply be set to –18 V. Enable the negative output, –VOUT, as desired by connecting the J3 jumper between ON and EN. Vary the load and the voltage at –VIN as necessary for test purposes. Turn on the positive voltage input power supply to J6 (+VIN). For initial operation, it is recommended that the positive input power supply be set to +18 V. Enable the positive output, +VOUT, as desired by connecting the J8 jumper between ON and EN. Vary the load and the voltage at +VIN as necessary for test purposes. Adjustable Operation The nominal output voltage for the typical LDO circuit employing the TPS7A3001 or the TPS7A4901 is set by two external resistors, R1and R2, as illustrated in Figure 1. R1 and R2 can be calculated for any output voltage using the equation shown in Equation 1 and by finding the Vref voltage found in the respective data sheet in the Electrical Characteristics table.

The –VIN turnon voltage steps down to –18 V (shown on Ch2 of the Figure 2 plot) followed by the –VOUT which ramps down –15 V. This negative-going turnon ramp represents the effects of both the soft-start capacitor, CSS, as well as the soft-start effect contributed by the bypass capacitor, CBYP, across the upper feedback resistor.

TPS7A4901 +VOUT Load Transient 6 Thermal Guidelines Thermal management is a key component of design of any power converter and is especially important when the power dissipation in the LDO is high. Use the following formula to approximate the maximum power dissipation for the particular ambient temperature: TJ = TA + PD × qJA (3) where TJ is the junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, PD is the power dissipation in the device, and qJA is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient. All temperatures are in degrees Celsius. The maximum silicon junction temperature, TJ, must not be allowed to exceed 150°C. The layout design must make effective use of the copper trace and plane areas as thermal sinks. This prevents TJ from exceeding the absolute maximum rating under all temperature conditions and voltage conditions across the part. The designer must carefully consider the thermal design of the PCB in the layout. It is difficult to calculate the thermal resistance for a custom layout employing some unique copper area attached to each pin of the IC. Table 1 repeats information from the Dissipation Ratings table of the TPS7A3001 and the TPS7A4901 data sheets for comparison with the thermal resistance, qJA, calculated for this EVM to show the variation in thermal resistances for given copper areas. The high-K value is determined using a standard JEDEC high-k (2s2p) board having a 3-inch × 30-inch dimension with 1-ounce internal power and ground planes and 2-ounce copper traces on top and bottom of the board.

The maximum power dissipation is proportional to the volume of copper volume connected to the package.
