1.1 Introduction

This user’s guide describes the operation and use of the TPS63820EVM. The EVM is designed to help users easily evaluate and test the operation and functionality of the TPS63820 buck-boost converter family. The EVM has the output voltage set to 3.3V. The output voltage can be programmed through I2C interface between 1.2V and 5.5V. The EVM operates with an input voltage between 1.8V and 5.5V and the output current can go up to 4.0A when Vin ≥ 3.0V and Vout = 3.3V. This document includes setup instructions for the hardware, together with the schematic and the PCB layout of the EVM. Throughout this document, the abbreviations EVM, TPS63820EVM, and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the TPS63820, unless otherwise noted.
