XR77103-A1R0 Universal PMIC 3 Output Buck Regulator EVB User Manual Introduction
March 10, 2022 010-A1R0UMR00 1
Introduction
The XR77103-A1R0 evaluation board provides a platform to evaluate the features and performance of the XR77103-A1R0
Universal PMIC 3 Output Buck Regulator. The XR77103-A1R0 output voltages are set via an external resistor divider down
to 0.8V with a 4.5V to 14V input voltage range, and it is packaged in a 4mm x 4mm TQFN.
Quick EVB Set Up and Start Up
Factory Settings
The evaluation board has been set up with the following
factory default configuration for quick set up and operation:
■
V
IN
= 5.5V to 14V, optimized for a 12V input rail.
■
Maximum I
OUT
per channel is 2A.
■
1MHz Switching frequency.
■
Two channels may be paralleled for output currents up
to 5A peak and 4A steady state (however additional
hardware modification is required for parallel
operation).
■
Low power spectral density (PSM) mode operation
enabled.
Quick Start Up
To quickly see the regulator in operation:
1. Use the factory settings and default configuration. If
other settings or components are desired, apply them
before the next steps. For more information, see
“System Set-Up” on page 5 for more.
2. Connect a turned-off power supply that is within the
above V
IN
specification (from 5.5V to 14V, 12V typical)
to V
IN
+ and V
IN
- with short and thick leads. Use test
pins EXT. VIN (J39) and AGND (J7) to connect and
monitor V
IN
+ and V
IN
- respectively. See locations in
Figure 1 on page 2
.
3.
Initially set to 0A, connect electronic loads to each
desired channel that will be no more than the maximum
I
OUT
(2A) to VOUTx and PGNDx (where x = the
channel number) with short and thick leads. Use test
pins in Table 1 on page 1 to connect and monitor
VOUTx and PGNDx respectively. See locations in
Figure 1 on page 2
.
For all channels with the electronic
load connected, ensure that the respective V
IN
jumper
is installed per Table 1 on page 1.
4. Turn on the 12V power supply and check V
OUT
. The
EVB powers up and regulates the enabled outputs at
3.3V (Ch1), 1.8V (Ch2) and
2.5
V (Ch3) (factory default
settings). PGOOD is asserted active high once
sequencing is done, outputs are in regulation, and
reset timer expires.
5. Set or vary the load (do not exceed the maximum I
OUT
)
and check V
OUT
and other desired performance levels
such as regulation and efficiency. For more information
about monitoring, see “I/O and Test Points” on page 4 .
