The TPS56C20 is a synchronous DC-DC converter. The TPS56C20 is a buck converter whose output voltage

can be adjusted using the feedback resistor divider network or using VID commands from an I2C interface bus. It is a single, adaptive on-time, D-CAP2™ mode converter requiring a very low external component count. The D-CAP2 control circuit is optimized for low-ESR output capacitors such as POSCAP or SP-CAP, or ceramic types. The D-CAP2 cont ...

2 Performance Specification Summary

A summary of the TPS56C20EVM-614 performance specifications is provided in Table 2-1. Specifications are given for an input voltage of VIN = 12V and an output voltage of 1.1V, unless otherwise noted. The ambient temperature is 25°C for all measurement, unless otherwise noted. Table 2-1. TPS56C20EVM-614 and Performance Specifications Summary Parameter Test Conditions Min Typ Max Units Input voltage range (VIN) 4.5 12 17 ...

The design of the TPS56C20EVM-614 provides access to all the four devices of the IC family: TPS56520,

TPS56720, TPS56920, and TPS56C20. The module ships with a TPS56C20 IC soldered but the user can replace the TPS56C20 with any of the other three ICs to test their performance. 3.1 Output Voltage Set Point To change the output voltage of the TPS56C20EVM-614, change the value of resistor R7. Calculate the value of R7 for a specific output vol ...
