1 Introduction

This EVM utilizes Texas Instrument’s TPS51220A in a dual output design. The device includes many test points to help the engineer monitor and evaluate the control characteristics of the TPS51220A. The TPS51220A is a dual peak current mode synchronous buck controller with three linear regulators. The EVM also allows the engineer to configure several of the features of the TPS51220A controller.
