General Texas Instruments High Voltage Evaluation (TI HV EVM) User Safety Guidelines

SBVU048–March 2019

TPS7A78EVM-011 Evaluation module

The term TI HV EVM refers to an electronic device typically provided as an open framed, unenclosed

printed circuit board assembly. It is intended strictly for use in development laboratory environments,

solely for qualified professional users having training, expertise and knowledge of electrical safety risks in

development and application of high voltage electrical circuits. Any other use and/or application are strictly

prohibited by Texas Instruments. If you are not suitable qualified, you should immediately stop from further

use of the HV EVM.

1. Work Area Safety

a. Keep work area clean and orderly.

b. Qualified observer(s) must be present anytime circuits are energized.

c. Effective barriers and signage must be present in the area where the TI HV EVM and its interface

electronics are energized, indicating operation of accessible high voltages may be present, for the

purpose of protecting inadvertent access.

d. All interface circuits, power supplies, evaluation modules, instruments, meters, scopes and other

related apparatus used in a development environment exceeding 50Vrms/75VDC must be

electrically located within a protected Emergency Power Off EPO protected power strip.

e. Use stable and nonconductive work surface.

f. Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments. No

freehand testing whenever possible.

2. Electrical Safety

As a precautionary measure, it is always a good engineering practice to assume that the entire EVM

may have fully accessible and active high voltages.

a. De-energize the TI HV EVM and all its inputs, outputs and electrical loads before performing any

electrical or other diagnostic measurements. Revalidate that TI HV EVM power has been safely

de-energized.

b. With the EVM confirmed de-energized, proceed with required electrical circuit configurations,

wiring, measurement equipment connection, and other application needs, while still assuming the

EVM circuit and measuring instruments are electrically live.

c. After EVM readiness is complete, energize the EVM as intended.

WARNING

While the EVM is energized, never touch the EVM or its electrical

circuits, as they could be at high voltages capable of causing electrical

shock hazard.

3. Personal Safety

a. Wear personal protective equipment (for example, latex gloves or safety glasses with side shields)

or protect EVM in an adequate lucent plastic box with interlocks to protect from accidental touch.

Limitation for safe use:

EVMs are not to be used as all or part of a production unit.

TPS7A78EVM-011 Evaluation module

5 EVM Setup

This section describes how to properly connect and setup the TPS7A78EVM-011, including the jumpers

and connectors on the EVM board. See Section 6 for the proper connections of test equipment.

5.1 Input/Output Connectors and Jumpers Descriptions

5.1.1 J1: VAC

Input AC power-supply connector. Ensure that the AC input power supply is turned off before making the

connection to the EVM. The AC supply line lead must be connected to the line pin on the J1 connector,

whereas the neutral lead must be connected to the neutral pin on the J1 connector to ensure proper

operation of the TPS7A78 LDO.

NOTE: If the AC supply line and neutral leads are flipped when connected to the J1 connector, then

the TPS7A78 device GND pin is referenced to the AC supply line and only floating

measurement equipment must be used.

5.1.2 J3: Full-Bridge (FB) and Half-Bridge (HB) Configurations

This EVM comes configured for half-bridge (HB) configuration usage, when J3 jumper is connected.

However, to use the full-bridge (FB) configuration, leave jumper J3 open and see Section 6 for the proper

connections of test equipment.

HB configuration is achieved by tying VAC neutral to the TPS7A78 device GND pin, whereas in FB

configuration VAC neutral is connected to the AC– pin and the device GND pin track VAC neutral and

therefore must be floating. See Section 6 for the proper connections of test equipment.

NOTE: When FB configuration is used, the device GND must float (that is, the device GND must not

be tied to Earth-GND). Floating the device GND is required to limit the shunted AC current

(the excess AC current charging the bulk capacitor C8) while the device active bridge shunts

this current to circulate this current back to neutral. Jumper J5 is open by default to limit the

circulating current though neutral when the device GND is intentionally or accidentally

connected to Earth-GND, such as when using regular scope probes or a bench digital

multimeter (DMM) where such equipment have their GNDs always tied to Earth-GND. Use

floating measurement equipment when the FB EVM configuration is used.

5.1.3 J4: Power-Good Indication and Power-Fail Detection Pullup Voltage

Jumper J4 pulls up the open-drain power-good and power-fail detection indicators to VLDO_IN by athe

default EVM setting. An external DC pullup voltage can be used via test point TP11; however, jumper J4

must be open in order not to short the external pullup voltage to the LDO_IN pin.

NOTE: When an external DC voltage is used to pullup the PG and PF pins, this external supply

must be a floating supply when FB configuration is used.

For HB configuration, the device GND can be tied to Earth-GND, and the external pullup

supply can be referenced to the device GND.

5.1.4 J5: Second Surge Resistor (R7) Jumper

This EVM has three surge resistors, R5, R6, and R7. However, only one resistor R5 is required. R7 is

needed when the device GND is tied to Earth-GND intentionally or accidentally when using regular scope

probes.

R6 was populated for test purposes only. Capacitor C21 is a placeholder for conducting electromagnetic

interference (EMI) filtering.

EVM Setup

SBVU048–March 2019

TPS7A78EVM-011 Evaluation module

5.1.5 J6 and J7: Power-Good (PG) and Power-Fail (PF) Signals

The TPS7A78 device has two open-drain signals (power-good and power-fail) that are both pulled up to

VLDO_IN by default.

Becuase of the high-impedance open-drain logic, the AC supply frequency noise may be present on those

signals when they are high. A low-impedance digital buffer isolation circuit is recommended, such as the

U2 device in Section 4, to obtain noise-free PG ans PF signals. Jumpers J6 and J7 connect the device PG

and PF signals directly to the TP7 and TP5 test points because the digital buffer circuit is not populated

with the default EVM setting.

NOTE: When high-voltage differential scope probes are used when testing the TPS7A78EVM-011,

the digital buffer circuit U2 in Section 4 is recommended to be populated and jumpers J6 and

J7 must be open to obtain noise-free PG and PF signals.

5.1.6 J2: VLDO_OUT

Regulated DC output voltage connector.

NOTE: This EVM is optimized for a 3.3-V output and a 27-mA to 55-mA (max) load current. If your

application requires higher output current, see the TPS7A78 Application and Implementation

section for the proper setting of your application requirement.

5.2 Test Points

Table 3 lists the test points for the TPS7A78EVM-011.
