Overview
This document describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the TPS73x01DRBEVM-518 evaluation
module (EVM). This EVM demonstrates the capabilities and features of Texas Instruments'
module (EVM). This EVM demonstrates the capabilities and features of Texas Instruments'
,
, and
low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. These
regulators, each available in a 3-mm × 3-mm SON package, are capable of 250-mA, 400-mA, and 1-A
output currents, respectively. The TPS73x01DRBEVM-518 module helps designers evaluate the operation
and performance of the TPS73201, TPS73601, and TPS73701 LDO devices in a variety of configurations.
The output voltage from the LDO device can be selected by a jumper to obtain 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 2.8 V, 3.0 V
or 3.3 V.

Input/Output Connector Descriptions
2.1.1
J1: VIN
This connector is the positive input supply voltage. The leads to the input supply should be twisted and
kept as short as possible to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) transmission. Additional bulk
capacitance should be added between J1 and J2 if the supply leads are greater than 6 inches (15,24 cm).
An additional 47-µF or greater capacitor improves the transient response of the TPS73x01DRB and helps
to reduce ringing on the input when long supply wires are used. The TPS73x01DRBEVM-518 has a
footprint (C4) on the EVM available for this purpose.

2.1.2
J3: VOUT
This jumper is the positive connection from the output. Connect this pin to the positive input of the load.
2.1.3
J2: GND
This jumper is the return connection for the input power supply of the regulator.
