Component Values to Evaluate Common Output Voltages

Table 1-3 shows recommended modifications to the EVM for evaluating other common output voltages. These recommended component values were selected to keep the output capacitors at the default EVM components to minimize the number of changes. Depending on the load step response requirements in the application, the output capacitors may need to be different from the default EVM components. More or less output capacitance may be used. If the output capacitors are changed, the compensation may also need to be adjusted. Additionally if the fSW is changed, the inductance value (L) may also need to be changed. The TPS54A24 datasheet equations or WEBENCH can be used to calculate the output capacitor value, compensation, fSW and inductance. Ensure all components have sufficient voltage and current ratings.
