Quick Start Guide
This chapter will guide the user through the evaluation board overview, hardware
operation, test setup and test results.
Evaluation Board Overview
The evaluation board contains:
•
Connectors for both high voltage (0Vdc < V
IN
< 200Vdc) and low voltage (5Vdc < V
CC
< 12Vdc)
power supplies
•
Connector for the output load
•
User-friendly probe connector and vias for V

DS
measurement and other performance
verification
•
The jumper for current sensing
The operating specifications of the evaluation board are as follows:
•
The recommended input voltage operating range is 0 V < V
IN
< 200 V. (The maximum input
voltage is limited by the output voltage of Boost converter, which is further subject to
operating mode, the duty cycle and the load value.)
•
Frequency of operation of 200 kHz - 900 kHz.
•
The maximum load current depends on die temperature and is further subject to switching
frequency and operating voltage. Forced air cooling or heat sinking can increase current rating.
