TPS65988EVM: Gerber file & configuring for 2 x 100W

Eddie Koh

Part Number: TPS65988EVM

1. Can I have the gerber file for TPS65988EVM?

2. TPS65988EVM was configured for 2 x 60W output only. Can TPS65988 support 2 x 100W output? Any reference design or advise on how to change the EVM design to delivery 2 x 100W?

Eddie,

The TPS65988 can support 2X100W, it only requres you to use two 5A capable cables. They have a special e-mark in them to communicate that they support higher power.

I will check to see if I have gerbers available for the 988 EVM.

Hi Chuck,

1. Understood that TPS65988 supports 2 x 100W. My question is about the EVM. EVM can only support 2 x 60W. How to modify the EVM to support 2 x 100W.

2. Looking forward to the gerbers. Thanks!

Eddie,

The main reason that the EVM can only support 2x60W is that the barrel jack input is 19.5V nominal and will dropout under 5A of load. If you are able to adjust the input supply up to 22V, then this will not be an issue.

I will need to generate the gerbers from the EVM, so it will be early next week before I can get them to you.

Regards,

Chuck
