Goal of the experiment

The goal of the experiment is to configure the on-board evaluation module TPS40200 on the ASLK PRO Kit as a switched mode power supply that can provide a regulated output voltage of 5V or 3.3V for an input whose range is 6V-15V.

Pchannel Power FET and Schottky diode to produce a low cost buck converter. The regulated output of the EVM is resistance-selected and can be adjusted within the limited range by making the changes in the feedback loop, as shown below.

12.1 Brief theory and motivation

The TPS40200 evaluation module included on ASLK PRO. Kit uses the TPS40200 non synchronous buck converter to provide a resistor-selected, 3.3V or 5V output that delivers up to 2.5A from up to 16V input bus. See Figure 12-1 for a schematic diagram of the EVM. The evaluation module operates from a single supply and uses the single

The unregulated input is connected at screw terminal CN5. Output load is connected to screw terminal at CN6.The switching Vout = Vref waveform can be observed at the terminal TP4.The evaluation module has a switching frequency of 200 kHz. This frequency b is decided by the combination of R201 and C213. The duty cycle of thisV waveform Vref = 0.7V Vout = ref varies linearly with the input voltage for a constant output voltage, b as shown V ref = 0.7V below. R209

What should be the value of the external resistance to be connected between TP8 and Ground to configure the evaluation module to generate regulated output voltage of 5V? Simulate the configured circuit using a simulator. The typical waveforms will be of the form shown in Figure 12.2.

Configure the on board evaluation module to generate constant 5V DC output by making the changes in the feedback path using the available terminals. Obtain the Line Regulation: Vary the input voltage from 10V to 15V in steps of 0.5V and plot the output voltage as the function of the input voltage for a constant output load. Obtain the Load Regulation: Vary the load (within the permissible limits) such that load current varies and obtain the output voltage for constant input voltage. Plot the output voltage as a function of the load current.

Figure 12.2: Simulation waveforms - TP3 is the PWM waveform and TP4 is the switching waveform Configure the on board evaluation module to generate a regulated output voltage of 5V, and observe the waveforms mentioned in Figure 12.2 and compare with the simulation results. Vary the input voltage for a regulated output voltage of 5V and observe the change in the duty cycle of the PWM waveform. Use Table 12.1 to record the readings. Compare the readings with simulation results and plot the graph between the input voltage and duty cycle. Is the plot linear?
