ER2120QI 2A Synchronous  Buck PowerSoC 

Evaluation  Board User Guide 

 

Description 

This is the ER2120QI User Guide. The 
ER2120QI  integrates a controller with integ-
rated power MOSFETs,  most  of the compen-
sation network, and protection circuitry against 
system faults. This level of integration  delivers 

a substantial reduction in footprint and 
component  count  compared to competing 
solutions. The evaluation board is optimized for 
engineering ease of testing through program-
ming options, clip leads, test points etc.
