Introduction
The Texas Instruments TPS7A4001EVM-709 EVM helps design engineers to evaluate the operation and performance of the TPS7A4001 linear regulator for possible use in their own circuit application. This particular EVM configuration contains a single linear regulator with internal thermal and current limit shutdowns, and enable (disable) circuitry in a 3mm x 5mm, MSOP-8, thermally enhanced PowerPad™ package. The regulator, including external components, is capable of delivering up to 50mA to the load, depending on the input-output power dissapation, at an operating input voltage of up to 100V. The EVM output voltage is adjustable by an external resistor divider from 1.2V to 35V, but this is limited by the working voltage of the output capacitor. The LDO supports output voltages to 90V. The resistor divider is preset to provide VOUT equal to 5V.
