User's Guide SNVA612B - January 2012 - Revised April 2013 AN-2200 LM5017 Evaluation Board 1 Introduction The LM5017 evaluation board provides the design engineer with a fully functional buck regulator, employing the constant on-time (COT) operating principle. This evaluation board provides a 10 V output over an input range of 12.5 V to 100 V. The board's specifications are: * Input Range: 12.5 V to 95 V, transients up to 100 V (absolute maximum) * Output Voltage: 10 V * Output Current: 600 mA * Nominal Switching Frequency ~ 200 kHz * Measured Efficiency: 92.4% at 400 mA and VIN = 24 V * Board size: 2.95 in. x 1.8 in.

The ontime varies inversely with input voltage. At the end of each on-time, the buck switch is off for at least 144 ns. In normal operation, the off-time is much longer. During the off-time, the load current is supplied by the output capacitor (C9). When the output voltage falls sufficiently that the voltage at FB is below 1.225 V, the regulation comparator initiates a new on-time period. For stable, fixed frequency operation, a minimum of 25 mV of ripple is required at FB to switch the regulation comparator. For a more detailed block diagram and a complete description of the various functional blocks, see the LM5017 100V, 600mA Constant On-Time Synchronous Buck Regulator Data Sheet (SNVS783). 3 UVLO The UVLO resistors (R5, R7) are selected using Equation 2: VIN(HYS) = IHYSR5 (2) and Equation 3: VIN (UVLO,rising) = 1.225V x R5 (c) R7 +1* (3) On this evaluation board, R5 = 127 k and R7 = 14.0 k, resulting in UVLO rising threshold at VIN = 12 V and a hysteresis of 2.5 V.

Complete Evaluation Board Schematic for LM5017-Based Buck Converter 4 Board Connection and Start-up The input connections are made to the TP1 (VIN) and TP2 (GND) terminals. The load is connected to the TP3 (VOUT) AND TP5 (GND) terminals. Ensure the wires are adequately sized for the intended load current. Before start-up, a voltmeter should be connected to the input and output terminals. The load current should be monitored with an ammeter or a current probe. It is recommended that the input voltage be increased gradually to 12 V, at which time the output voltage should be 10 V. If the output voltage is correct, increase the input voltage as desired and proceed with evaluating the circuit. DO NOT EXCEED 100 V AT VIN. 2 AN-2200 LM5017 Evaluation Board SNVA612B - January 2012 - Revised April 2013 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2012-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Board Connection and Start-up www.ti.com Table 1.
