TPS54719EVM-152: Clarification on R8, R9, R10, and C11 in TPS54719 EVM Schematic

Part Number: TPS54719EVM-152

Tool/software:

Hello TI Support Team,

I am working with the TPS54719 buck converter and have been analyzing the reference design (TPS54719EVM-152) schematic. I have a few questions regarding the components in the voltage divider and output section.

I understand that R9 and R10 form the voltage divider to set the output voltage. However, I am seeking clarification on the precise purpose of the following components:

  1. Resistor R8 (51.1 Ω): What is the fundamental purpose of this resistor? It appears to be in the output path, but I am unsure of its specific function. Is it used for current sensing or another purpose?

  2. Capacitor C11 (270 pF): This capacitor is placed in parallel with R9. What is its role? Is it for phase compensation, noise filtering, or a different function related to stability?

Finally, I would like to use this circuit for a new application with the following parameters:

  • Vin = 3.8 V

  • Vout = 3.3 V

  • Iout = 5 A

Could you please confirm if this circuit design is suitable for these parameters and provide guidance on how I should adjust the values of R9 and R10 to achieve the desired 3.3 V output?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,

Javaid
