1 TPS7H4003EVM Overview

The TPS7H4003-SEP is a radiation hardened, 7-V, 18-A synchronous step-down converter with integrated high-

side and low-side MOSFETs. High efficiency and efficient usage of space are achieved through low resistance

MOSFETs and a current mode control implementation.

The EVM is configured in a default state to accept a 5-V input but can be modified to disable or change the

under voltage lock out (UVLO) protection, allowing for any input voltage from 3 V to 7 V. The EVM is also

configured for a 1-V output at a maximum peak output current of 18 A. Again, the regulated output voltage can

be modified by changing one resistor on the board. The TSP7H4003-SEP has a dedicated soft start, enable, and

adjustable slope compensation pins providing design flexibility to meet specific application requirements.

Finally, as shown in Figure 1-1, this EVM supports a single POL channel. However, the device does support

parallel operation. With four POLs operating in quadrature phases, a 72-A load current can theoretically be

provided.

1.1 Features

• 0.6-V ±1.6% voltage reference over temperature, radiation, and line and load regulation

• Adjustable slope compensation

• Adjustable soft start

• Adjustable input enable and undervoltage lockout (UVLO)

• Maximum output current of 18 A

1.2 Applications

• Point of load regulation

• Supports harsh environment applications

• Space satellite point of load supply for FPGAs, microcontrollers, data converters, and ASICs

• Space satellite payloads

• Radiation hardened applications

3 TPS7H4003EVM Initial Setup

This section provides the test instruments required and the connections to the EVM.

1. Input DC power supply

a. Set for 5-V DC, 8-A current limit.

b. Connect positive output of DC supply to pin 1 of connector J1 (PVIN) and negative terminal of supply to

pin 2 of connector J1 for ground using 16 AWG wire or larger.

• NOTE: For more precise measurements, eliminating the IR voltage drop in the input cables is

achieved by using a power supply source with sensing ports and connecting between TP2 to PVIN

and TP1 to GND.

2. DC electronic load

a. Connect positive DC input of e-load to pin 1, VOUT, of connector J7 (VOUT) using 16 AWG wire.

• NOTE: Wire from pin 1, positive terminal of connector, to the e-load should include at least some part

in which the wire gauge can be strapped by the oscilloscope current probe. This will eliminate the

need for a setup change to cover all tests.

b. Connect negative DC input of e-load to pin 2, PGND, of connector J7 (VOUT) using 16 AWG wire.

c. Connect voltage monitoring sensing ports of e-load across test points TP12 (VOUT1) and TP13 (PGND).

A voltage meter can be used to monitor this voltage also.

3. Oscilloscope

a. CH1 - Connect voltage scope probe to scope probe test point J5 (PH) to monitor the phase node. DC

coupled, Full BW, 2 V/div, Rising Edge Trigger at 0.5 V.

b. CH2 - Connect voltage scope probe to scope probe test point J6 (VOUT) to monitor the output voltage.

AC coupled, BW = 20 MHz, 10 mV/div.

c. CH4 - Connect current scope probe to monitor current through wire connecting J7 (VOUT) and e-load. 5

A/div.

• NOTE: Only required for transient load testing.

•Section 4.2 Output voltage ripple

•Section 4.3 Soft startup

•Section 4.4 Transient response to positive/negative load step (9 A to 18 A to 9 A)

•Section 4.5 Loop frequency response

4.1 Output Voltage Regulation

1. Turn-on input DC source (5 V).

2. Turn on the e-load and sweep load current from 0 A to 18 A. The monitored output voltage at TP12 (VOUT)

is at or near 1.0 V across the entire current load sweep as shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1. Output Voltage Regulation

4.2 Output Voltage Ripple

Display CH1 (PH) and CH2 (VOUT) [AC coupled, BW = 20 MHz] on oscilloscope to monitor the switching phase

node and the output voltage ripple as shown in Figure 4-2.

4.3 Soft Startup

Display CH1 (PH) and CH2 (VOUT) [DC coupled, 500 mV/div] on oscilloscope to monitor the switching phase

and the soft start profile of the output voltage as shown in Figure 4-3.

Figure 4-3. Output Soft Start Voltage, VIN = 5 V, VOUT = 1 V, IOUT = 18 A

4.4 Transient Response to Positive/Negative Load Step (9 A to 18 A to 9 A)

1. Configure e-load to switch between 9 A and 18 A at a rate of 1 A/µs.

2. On oscilloscope, display CH2 (VOUT) [AC coupled, 20 mV/div] and CH4 (Output Current Probe) [5 A/div,

trigger rising edge ≈12 A] with 40 µs/div.

Figure 4-4 shows the response to this load step to be less than 35 mV or –3.5%.

3. Change the trigger on CH4 to falling edge to capture the transient response of VOUT to negative current

step from 18 A to 9 A as shown in Figure 4-5.

Figure 4-5. Transient Response to Load Step 18 A to 9 A at 1 A/µs

4.5 Loop Frequency Response

Measuring the frequency response of the feedback loop requires a unique test setup as well as physical

changes to the EVM. 0-Ω resistor jumper R8, below TP9 (BODE) test point and circled in yellow in the graphic

below, must be lifted in order to break the loop. Both test points TP9 (BODE) and TP10 (VOUT) will be used for

connections to the Bode100 instruments.

4.6 Setup

The test setup, which includes several connections to Picotest Bode100 test instruments, is shown in Figure 4-7

with measurement results shown in Figure 4-8. The CHF, high frequency pole, component of the compensation

circuit is optional. Omitting it will result in slightly increased phase margin. However, the benefit of including it is

that the gain curve is set in a downward trajectory as frequency increases, making a monotonic gain curve more

likely to be achieved.
