EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS  
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 0 V and 7 V.  
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible  
damage to the EVM. If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI  
field representative prior to connecting the input power.  
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or  
possible permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to  
connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,  
please contact a TI field representative.  
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than  
+25°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above +25°C as  
long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not  
limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense  
resistors. These types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the  
EVM User’s Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation,  
please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

Introduction

Introduction  
The Texas Instruments TPS60230EVM-047 evaluation module (EVM) helps  
designers evaluate the operation and performance of the TPS60230. This de-  
vice is an efficient charge-pump-based current sink that can drive up to five  
white LEDs with 25mA each. Efficiency is improved by switching between a  
1.0x and 1.5x mode, based on the input voltage.  
This EVM is specifically designed and optimized to operate with a single-cell  
Li-Ion battery input. The default maximum current setting for this EVM is 20mA  
per LED. If desired, this EVM can easily be modified to supply higher or lower  
currents by appropriately selecting the ISET resistor, R1. Refer to the data  
sheet (SLVS516) for more information on adjusting the LED current.

Initial Configuration  
This section describes the jumpers and connectors on the EVM, as well as how  
to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS60230EVM-047.  
2.1  
Input/Output Connector Descriptions  
2.1.1  
J1: VIN  
This is the positive connection to the input power supply or battery.  
This is the return connection for the input power supply or battery.  
2.1.2  
2.1.3  
J2: GND  
JP1: EN2  
This jumper will ground the EN2 pin or connect it to VIN. If the both EN1 and  
EN2 are connected to VIN, the LED current will be the full programmed value  
set by R1. For this EVM, that current is 20mA. If EN2 is connected to ground  
and EN1 is high, the LED current will be set to 1/3 the programmed value, or  
6.66mA. If both EN1 and EN2 are grounded, the LEDs will turn off.  
2.1.4  
JP2: EN1  
This jumper will ground the EN1 pin or connect it to VIN. If the both EN1 and  
EN2 are connected to VIN, the LED current will be the full programmed value  
set by R1. For this EVM, that current is 20mA. If EN1 is connected to ground  
and EN2 is high, the LED current will be set to 2/3 the programmed value, or  
13.33mA. If both EN1 and EN2 are grounded, the LEDs will turn off.

2.3  
Setup  
Connect an input supply or battery between J1 and J2. The voltage range on  
this supply should stay between 2.7V and 6.0V. Set the appropriate brightness  
by configuring JP1 and JP2.  
Operation  
The EVM has been optimized to operate from a single-cell Li-Ion battery with  
an input voltage range of 2.7V to 6.0V. The value for R1 programs the maxi-  
mum LED current. For this EVM, the maximum current is set to 20mA. Howev-  
er, by changing the value of R1, LED currents up to 25mA can be achieved.  
Currents less than 20mA can be achieved by appropriately configuring JP1  
and JP2, as shown in Table 1.

EN1 and EN2 can also be used for pulse width modulator (PWM) dimming.  
The PWM signal can be applied to EN1, EN2, or both. In this case, the LED  
current is proportional to duty factor and can have a maximum current dictated  
by how EN1 and EN2 are configured. The maximum recommended PWM fre-  
quency is 50kHz, and the minimum recommended ON time is 2.5us. Refer to  
the datasheet (SLVS516) for more information in regards to PWM dimming.

Test Results  
The efficiency curve in Figure 1 reflects the power delivered to the LED. The  
output power used for the efficiency calculation is the sum of all the LED cur-  
rents multiplied by the LED forward voltage.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Layout  
PCB layout is critical for all switch-mode power supplies. Figure 2, Figure 3,  
and Figure 4 show the board layout for the TPS60230EVM-047 PWB. The  
nodes with high switching frequencies and currents are short and are isolated  
from the noise-sensitive feedback circuitry. Careful attention has been given  
to the routing of high-frequency current loops. Refer to the product datasheet  
(SLVS516) for specific layout guidelines.
