ABSTRACT
The TPS7H4010-SEP (Space Enhanced Plastic) evaluation module (EVM) with orderable part number
TPS7H4010EVM, is designed to help customers evaluate the performance of the TPS7H4010-SEP synchronous
step-down voltage converter. The EVM contains two independent buck converter circuits, each of which contains
the TPS7H4010-SEP which is in the 30-pin wettable flanks QFN (WQFN) package. The two circuits deliver very
accurate output voltages at 1.8 V and 3.3 V with up to 6 A current capacity with exceptional efficiency in a very
small solution size. The EVM provides multiple power connectors and test points, as well as mode setting and
enable input options, allowing for flexibility in testing.
