The TPS546D24AEVM-2PH is a two-phase buck design using two stacked TPS546D24A devices. It designed for a nominal 12-V bus and to produce a regulated 0.8-V output at up to 80 A of load current. The TPS546D24AEVM-2PH is designed to demonstrate stacking operation of the TPS546D24A in a two-phase, low-output voltage application while providing a number of test points to evaluate the performance of the devices. The TPS546D24AEVM-2PH can be modified to single-phase buck converters by changing the components assembled. See Section 4.3 for more information on single-phase configuration.
The following warnings and cautions are noted for the safety of anyone using or working close to the TPS546D24AEVM-2PH. Observe all safety precautions.

Caution | Do not leave the EVM powered when unattended. |
The circuit module has signal traces, components, and component leads on the bottom of the board. This may result in exposed voltages, hot surfaces, or sharp edges. Do not reach under the board during operation.
The circuit module may be damaged by over temperature. To avoid damage, monitor the temperature during evaluation and provide cooling, as needed, for your system environment.
Some power supplies can be damaged by application of external voltages. If using more than 1 power supply, check your equipment requirements and use blocking diodes or other isolation techniques, as needed, to prevent damage to your equipment.
The communication interface is not isolated on the EVM. Be sure no ground potential exists between the computer and the EVM. Also be aware that the computer is referenced to the battery- potential of the EVM.
