12-V Input, 1.5-V Output, 40-A Two Phase Synchronous
Buck Converter Using the TPS40130
The TPS40130EVM-001 evaluation module (EVM) is a high efficiency, two phase
synchronous buck converter providing a fixed 1.5-V output at up to 40 A from a 12-V
input bus. The EVM is designed to start up from a single supply, so no additional bias
voltage is required for start-up. The module uses the TPS40130 high frequency two
phase controller.
