TPS7A30-49EVM-567
This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of theTPS7A30-49EVM-567 Evaluation
Module (EVM) as a reference design to facilitate engineering evaluation of the TPS7A3001 negative
voltage low-dropout (LDO) regulator and/or the TPS7A4901 positive voltage LDO regulator for individual
or split-rail applications. Included in this user’s guide are setup instructions, a schematic diagram, layout
and thermal guidelines, a bill of materials, and test results.
