Introduction

The LM25085AEVAL evaluation board provides the design engineer with a fully functional buck regulator,
employing the LM25085A PFET switching controller which uses the constant on-time (COT) operating
principle. This evaluation board provides a 1V output over an input range of 4.5V to 24V. The circuit
delivers load currents to 5A, with current limit set at

8.2A. The board is populated with all components

except C5 and C7.

The board’s specification are:

Input Voltage: 4.5V to 24V

Output Voltage: 1V

Maximum load current: 5A

Minimum load current: 0A

Current Limit Threshold:

8.2A

Measured Efficiency: 77.5% (V

IN

= 4.5V, I

OUT

= 1Amp, typical efficiency for converter providing a 1V

output)

Nominal Switching Frequency: 200 kHz

Size: 3.1 in. x 1.5 in.
