2 Quick Start Guide
1. Connect the voltage supply between the VIN and GND connectors or between VIN_EMI and GND_EMI to
include the on-board input filter in the input path. Use short and thick gauge wires to minimize inductance and
IR drop. Note that sense points for V
IN
and V
OUT
are provided.
2. Connect the load of the converter between VOUT and GND connectors using short and thick wires.
3. Set the supply voltage at an appropriate level between 6 V to 36 V. The 6 V minimum input voltage ensures
enough head room for V
OUT
to equal 5 V at a 6 A load current. Set the current limit of the supply to an
appropriate level to supply needed current and protection.
4. Turn on the power supply. With the default configuration, the EVM powers up and provides V
OUT
equal to 5 V.
5. Monitor the output voltage with sense points. The maximum load current is 6 A with the LMQ61460-Q1. Note
that the maximum output current may need to derate if ambient temperature is high, especially if device is
operated at higher frequency, that is 2.1 MHz.
See
for connector locations.
CAUTION
Caution Hot surface.
Contact may cause burns.
Do not touch.
