Texas Instruments' TPS715EVM-074 helps design engineers evaluate the operation and performance of the TPS71501DCKR linear regulator for possible use in their own circuit application. This particular EVM configuration contains a single 50-mA, mid-voltage, low-IQ, low-dropout regulator (LDO) for general applications. The regulator is capable of delivering up to 50 mA and has a VIN range of up to 24 V. For stability for the TPS71501DCKR, use a 1-µF (or larger) output capacitor (Cout).
The following warnings are noted for the safety of anyone using or working close to the TPS715EVM-074. Observe all safety precautions.
Failure to adhere to these steps or to not heed the safety requirements at each step may lead to shock, injury, and damage to the hardware. Texas Instruments is not responsible or liable in any way for shock, injury, or damage caused by negligence or failure to heed advice. If you are not trained in the proper safety of handling and testing power electronics please do not test this evaluation module.
