LM20145 Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM20145 is a full featured buck switching regulator ca-
pable of driving up to 5A of load current. The switching fre-
quency of the LM20145 can be varied from 250kHz to 750kHz
with an external resistor allowing the size of the power stage
components to be reduced while still providing efficient oper-
ation. The LM20145 is capable of converting an input voltage
between 2.95V and 5.5V down to an output voltage as low as
0.8V. Fault protection features include cycle-by-cycle current
limit, output power good, and output over-voltage protection.
The dual function soft-start/tracking pin can be used to control
the startup response of the LM20145, and the precision en-
able pin can be used to easily sequence the LM20145 in
applications with sequencing requirements. The LM20145 is
available in an eTSSOP-16 package with an exposed pad for
enhanced thermal performance.

The LM20145 evaluation board has been designed to bal-
ance overall solution size with the efficiency of the regulator.
The evaluation board measures just under 1.3” x 1.1” on a
two layer PCB, with all components placed on the top layer.
The power stage and compensation components of the
LM20145 evaluation board have been optimized for an input
voltage of 5V and a switching frequency of 500 kHz, but for
testing purposes, the input can be varied across the entire
operating range. The output voltage of the evaluation board
is nominally 1.2V, but this voltage can be easily changed by
replacing one of the feedback resistors (R
control loop compensation of the LM20145 evaluation board
has been designed to provide a stable solution over the entire
input and output voltage range with a reasonable transient
response. The EN pin must be above 1.18V (typ) on the board
to initiate switching. If the EN function is not necessary, the
EN pin should be externally tied to V
