The Texas Instruments LMR36015FSCEVM and LMR36015AEVM evaluation modules (EVM) help
designers evaluate the operation and performance of the LMR36015-Q1 wide-input buck regulators. The
LMR36015-Q1 is an easy-to-use synchronous step-down DC/DC converter capable of driving up to 1.5 A
of load current from an input voltage of up to 60 V. The LMR36015FSCEVM features a selectable output
voltage of 3.3 V or 5 V and a switching frequency of 2.1 MHz. The LMR36015AEVM features a selectable
output voltage of 3.3 V or 5 V and a switching frequency of 400 kHz. See the
data sheets
for additional features, detailed descriptions, and available options.
The EVM options are found in
