The top converter is meant to show a small solution size so most of the parts have been selected for their
small size. This makes modifications to the top converter difficult since many components are 0402 size.
Additionally, to reduce size, there are no additional connectors or jumpers to connect control signals to
external circuits. The bottom converter was designed to be more adjustable and accommodate off board
signals and parts that are easier to solder. The bottom converter should be used to evaluate circuit
modifications.
provides a summary of the top converters specifications. The bottom converter is designed and
tested for VIN = 6.0V to 60V. Operation at other input voltages is possible, but some performance
specifications will vary compared to those shown in

C for all
measurements, unless otherwise noted.
