EV1406-1800-A

Introduction

This user guide describes the evaluation board provided for the FS1406 µPOL™ product.

The board generates an output voltage (VOUT) of 1.8V for loads of 0–6A from an input voltage (PVIN) of 12V.

Specifications

• Input voltage (PVIN) = +12V

• Output voltage (VOUT) = +1.8V

• Output load (IO) = 0–6A

• Switching frequency (FSW) = 1.9MHz

• Output capacitance (CO) = 2x22µF (MLCC)

• In put capacitance (CIN) = 2x22µF (MLCC)

• Dimensions (width x length x thickness) = 63 x 84 x 1.5mm

The board is configured for a single input supply. An internal low drop-out regulator generates the internal supply (VCC)

from PVIN. The Enable (En) input is connected to PVIN through a resistor divider, so that no Enable signal is needed.

Operation

To use the evaluation board:

1. Connect a well-regulated +12V input supply to PVIN (J1) and Gnd (J2).

2. Connect a load of 0–6A to VOUT (J8) and Gnd (J7).

Description

The evaluation board consists of a 4-layer PCB made from FR4 glass-reinforced epoxy laminate material. All layers use

2oz copper (equating to a thickness of 0.0694mm). The major power components, including the FS1406, are mounted

on the top side of the board.
