SLIU002A September 2008 – October 2022 TPIC74100-Q1
Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9 show the board layout for the TPIC74100EVM PWB. The EVM offers resistors, capacitors, and jumpers to program the switch pin slew rate and regulator turn-on Delay. Jumpers are also provided to enable the device and to enable the low-power mode option.
The TPIC74100 offers high efficiency but does dissipate power. The PowerPAD™ package offers an exposed thermal pad to enhance thermal performance. This must be soldered to the copper landing on the PCB for optimal performance. The PCB provides 1-oz copper planes on the top and bottom to dissipate heat.
