High Density EVM Description
The LM5143-Q1EVM-2100 high-density EVM is designed to use a regulated or non-regulated high-voltage
input rail ranging from 5.5 V to 36 V to produce tightly-regulated output voltages of 5 V and 3.3 V at load
currents up to 7 A. Alternatively, as shown in
, a two-phase, 15-A single-output regulator is
configured by changing the MODE, SS1/2, and COMP1/2 switch configurations, and tying the outputs
together. This wide V
IN
range DC/DC solution offers outsized voltage rating and operating margin to
withstand supply rail voltage transients.
The free-running switching frequency is 2.1 MHz and is synchronizable to an external clock signal at a
higher or lower frequency. The power-train passive components selected for this EVM, including buck
inductors and ceramic input and output capacitors, are automotive AEC-Q200 rated and are available from
multiple component vendors.
