PRODUCTION DATA
The TLVM236x5 only requires a few external components to convert from a wide range of supply voltages to a fixed output voltage. To expedite and streamline the process of designing of a TLVM236x5, WEBENCH online software is available to generate complete designs, leveraging iterative design procedures and access to comprehensive component databases. The following section describes the design procedure to configure the TLVM236x5 power module.
As mentioned previously, the TLVM236x5 also integrates several optional features to meet system design requirements, including precision enable, UVLO, and PGOOD indicator. The application circuit detailed below shows TLVM236x5 configuration options suitable for several application use cases. Refer to the TLVM23625EVM User's Guide for more detail.
All of the capacitance values given in the following application information refer to effective values unless otherwise stated. The effective value is defined as the actual capacitance under DC bias and temperature, not the rated or nameplate values. Use high-quality, low-ESR, ceramic capacitors with an X7R or better dielectric throughout. All high value ceramic capacitors have a large voltage coefficient in addition to normal tolerances and temperature effects. Under DC bias the capacitance drops considerably. Large case sizes and higher voltage ratings are better in this regard. To help mitigate these effects, multiple capacitors can be used in parallel to bring the minimum effective capacitance up to the required value. This can also ease the RMS current requirements on a single capacitor. A careful study of bias and temperature variation of any capacitor bank must be made to ensure that the minimum value of effective capacitance is provided.
