Texas InstrumentsCSD163CEVM-591Power Management Development Boards and Kits

The CSD163CEVM-591 evaluation module (EVM) is a synchronous buck converter providing a fixed 1.2V output at up to 25A from a 12-V input bus. The EVM is designed to start-up from a single supply; so, no additional bias voltage is required for start-up. The module uses the TPS40304 high performance, mid-input voltage synchronous buck controller and TI’s DualCool™ NexFET™ high performance MOSFETs TI’s DualCool™ NexFET™ family of power MOSFETs delivers an industry standard footprint, while enabling thermally efficient cooling through the top and bottom of the package. This package allows power system designers to effectively direct heat away from the PCB in high-current DC/DC applications, resulting in improved power density, higher current capability and improved system reliability.
