The TPS61288EVM-064 is a fully assembled and tested evaluation module (EVM) for the TPS61288, a high-efficiency, synchronous boost converter with integrated power MOSFETs from Texas Instruments. This state-of-the-art converter is capable of providing a wide output voltage range and is designed to support a variety of applications, including those that require a high power density and a small solution size.
The TPS61288 offers a flexible input voltage range that typically spans from 2.4V to 12V, making it ideal for portable electronics that are powered by single-cell or multi-cell batteries. The device is also well-suited for systems that operate on fixed rails, below the desired output voltage. With its ability to support up to 10A of output current, the TPS61288EVM-064 is perfect for power-hungry applications.
The EVM includes the TPS61288 integrated circuit (IC), which features high-efficiency synchronous step-up DC/DC conversion, a 1.3MHz fixed switching frequency, and a peak current mode control scheme. This provides fast transient response and eases loop stabilization. Additionally, the EVM incorporates a range of features such as overvoltage protection, thermal shutdown, and a power good indicator, ensuring reliable operation under various conditions.
The TPS61288EVM-064 comes with a default setting that is designed to evaluate the performance of the TPS61288 at an output voltage of 5V from a 3.3V input. However, the EVM is highly configurable and allows for easy adjustments to the output voltage setting, enabling users to tailor the performance to their specific needs.
This evaluation module is an essential tool for engineers and designers looking to quickly prototype and test their power supply designs. With its compact size, comprehensive documentation, and Texas Instruments' support, the TPS61288EVM-064 simplifies the process of integrating the TPS61288 into a wide array of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial systems.
