LM25007 Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM25007EVAL 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 5V output over an input range of 9V - 42V.
The circuit delivers load currents to 450 mA, with current limit
at )670 mA. The board is populated with all external com-
ponents except C6 and C9. These components provide op-
tions for managing the output ripple as described later in this
document.
The board’s specification are:
Theory of Operation
Refer to the evaluation board schematic in Figure 5, which
contains a simplified block diagram of the LM25007. When
the circuit is in regulation, the buck switch is on each cycle
for a time determined by R1 and the input voltage according
to the equation:
The nominal switching frequency is calculated from:
The on-time in this evaluation board ranges from )1800 ns
at Vin = 9V, to )390 ns at Vin = 42V. The on-time varies
inversely with V
frequency, which is nominally 306 kHz in this evaluation
board . At the end of each on-time the Minimum Off-Timer
ensures the buck switch is off for at least 300 ns. In normal
operation the off-time is much longer. During the off-time the
output capacitor (C2) is discharged by the load current.
When the output voltage falls sufficiently that the voltage at
FB is below 2.5V, the regulation comparator initiates a new
IN
to maintain a nearly constant switching

mVp-p of ripple is required at FB to switch the regulation
comparator. Refer to the LM25007 data sheet for a more
detailed block diagram, and a complete description of the
various functional blocks.
Board Layout and Probing
The pictorial in Figure 1 shows the placement of the circuit
components. The following should be kept in mind when the
board is powered:
1) When operating at high input voltage and high load cur-
rent, forced air flow is recommended.
2) The LM25007 may be hot to the touch when operating at
high input voltage and high load current.
3) Use CAUTION when probing the circuit at high input
voltages to prevent injury, as well as possible damage to the
circuit.
4) Ensure the wires connecting this board to the load are
sized appropriately for the load current. Ensure there is not a
significant drop in the wires between this evaluation board
and the load.
Board Connection/Start-up
The input connections are made to the J1 connector. The
load is normally connected to the V1 and GND terminals of
the J3 connector. Ensure the wires are adequately sized for
