3 Implementation Results
This section describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS568236EVM. The section also includes
test results typical for the evaluation modules.
3.1 Evaluation Setup
1. Make sure that the jumper at JP2 (Enable High Control) is covered to connect VIN to pin 1 of JP3. Also
make sure JP3 (Enable Control) pin 2 and 3 are covered to shunt EN to GND to disable the output.
2. Apply appropriate input voltage to VIN (J1-1) or TP1 and GND (J1-2) or TP8. Connect a power supply
capable of supplying 8-A to J1 through a pair of 20AWG wires. Note that the board cannot support hot
plug-in. The input lines must be connected between J1 and an external power source first before turning on
the power source.
3. Move the jumper at JP3 (Enable Control) from pin 2 and 3 (EN and OFF) to pin 2 and 1 (EN and ON) and
make sure JP2 pin 1 and pin 2 are covered. Then, the output can be enabled.
4. Apply the loading to VOUT (J2-2) or TP4 and GND (J2-1) or TP10. The load must be connected to J2
through a pair of 20AWG wires. The maximum load current capability is 8 A. Minimize wire lengths to reduce
losses in the wires.

4.2 PCB Layout
The following figures show the board layout for the TPS568236EVM. TPS568236EVM is with four layers. The
top layer contains the main power traces for VIN, VOUT, and GND. Also on the top layer are connections for the
pins of the TPS568236 and a large area filled with ground. Most of the signal traces are also located on the top
side. The input decoupling capacitors C4, C5, and C6 are located as close to VIN pins and PGND pins of the IC
as possible. The input and output connectors, test points, and all of the components are located on the top side.
The bottom layer is a ground plane along with signal ground copper fill and the feedback trace from the point of
regulation to the top of the resistor divider network. Two inner layers are ground plane.
