LM25575 Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM25575 evaluation board is designed to provide the
design engineer with a fully functional power converter based
on Emulated Current Mode Control to evaluate the LM25575
regulator IC. The evaluation board provides a 5V output with
a 1.5A current capability. The ultra-wide input voltage ranges
from 7V to 42V. The design operates at 300kHz, a good com-
promise between conversion efficiency and solution size. The
printed circuit board consists of 2 layers of 2 ounce copper on
FR4 material with a thickness of 0.06 inches. This application
note contains the evaluation board schematic, Bill-of-Materi-
als (BOM) and a quick setup procedure. Refer to the LM25575
datasheet for complete circuit design information.

ation board.
QUICK SETUP PROCEDURE
Step 1: Set the power supply current limit to 1.8A. Turn off
the power supply. Connect the power supply to the Vin ter-
minals.
Step 2: Connect the load, with a 1.5A capability, to the Vout
terminals. Positive connection to J2 and negative connection
to J3.

The performance of the evaluation board is as follows:
Input Range: 7 to 42V
Output Voltage: 5V
Output Current: 0 to 1.5A
Frequency of Operation: 300 KHz
Board Size: 2.6 X 1 X 0.4 inches
Load Regulation: 1%
Line Regulation: 0.1%
Over Current Limiting
Step 3: The SD pin should be left open for normal operation.
Step 4: Set Vin to 24V with no load applied. Vout should be
in regulation with a nominal 5V output.
Step 5: Slowly increase the load while monitoring the output
voltage, Vout should remain in regulation with a nominal 5V
output as the load is increased up to 1.5 Amps.
Step 6: Slowly sweep the input voltage from 7 to 42V, Vout
should remain in regulation with a nominal 5V output.
Step 7: Temporally short the SD pin to GND to check the
shutdown function.
Step 8: Increase the load beyond the normal range to check
current limiting. The output current should limit at approxi-
mately 2.1A. The power supply (Vin source) current limit may
