8.1.15 TPS7A54EVM Thermal Analysis

The TPS7A54EVM is used to develop the TPS7A5401RPS thermal model. The RPS package is a 2.2-mm × 2.5-mm, 12-pin VQFN with 25-µm plating on each via. The EVM is a 3-inch × 3-inch (7.62 mm × 7.62 mm) PCB comprised of four layers. Table 6 lists the layer stackup for the EVM. Figure 48 to Figure 52 illustrate the various layer details for the EVM.
