1.1 Description

The TPS53129EVM-621 evaluation board provides the user with a convenient way to evaluate the TPS53129 dual D-CAP2™ mode control step-down controller in a realistic cost-sensitive application. Providing both a low core-type 1.05-V and I/O type 1.8-V output at up to 4 A from a loosely regulated 12-V (8-V to 22-V) source, the TPS53129EVM-621 includes switches and test points to assist users in evaluating the performance of the TPS53129 controller in their application.
