2 Configurations and Modifications

This evaluation module is designed to provide access to the features of the TPSM843A26. There are jumpers provided for testing different configurations. Jumper selections must be made prior to enabling the TPSM843A26.

If a desired configuration is not available, some modifications can be made to this module. When modifications are made to the components on the EVM, the internal compensation option selected with the MODE pin resistor can need to be changed. Changes to the fSW, output voltage, and output capacitors can require a change in the compensation. TPSM843A26 data sheet equations or WEBENCH can be used to calculate the output capacitor value, compensation, and fSW. Ensure all components have sufficient voltage and current ratings.
