SBVU068 august 2023 TPS7A78
The EVM also features a power-fail detection signal and a power-good indication signal to warrant a VAC supply failure and to indicate to a microcontroller (MCU) that the regulated DC voltage is greater than 90% of the targeted regulation DC voltage.
This user’s guide describes the operational use of the TPS7A78EVM-041 evaluation module (EVM) to evaluate a wide range of applications, and must not be used as a reference design for optimized minimum size devices. The EVM is built to be used for the demonstration and evaluation of the TPS7A78, non-isolated smart linear voltage regulator (LDO). Included in this user’s guide are setup and operating instructions, thermal and layout guidelines, a printed circuit board (PCB) layout, a schematic diagram, pre-compliance surge voltage survival data, and a bill of materials (BOM).
Throughout this document, the terms demonstration kit, evaluation board, and evaluation module are synonymous with the TPS7A78EVM-041.
