LM2653EVAL 1.5A
Synchronous Switching
Regulator Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM2653 switching regulator provides high efficiency
power conversion over a 100:1 load range (1.5A to 15mA).
This
battery-powered applications.
Synchronous rectification and 75 mΩ internal switches pro-
vide up to 97% efficiency. At light loads, the LM2653 enters
a low power hysteretic or “sleep” mode to keep the efficiency
high. In many applications, the efficiency still exceeds 80%
at 15 mA load. A shutdown pin is available to disable the
LM2653 and reduce the supply current to 7 µA.
The IC contains patented current sensing circuitry for current
mode control. This feature eliminates the external current
sensing required by other current-mode DC-DC converters.
The IC has a 300kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator. The
high oscillator frequency allows the use of extremely small,
low profile components.
The evaluation board can be obtained by ordering part num-
ber LM2653EVAL from your local National Semiconductor
sales office, or National’s website at http://www.national

were selected based on the design procedure in the LM2653
datasheet. The feedback resistors can be adjusted to
achieve a different output voltage:
Choose 1% resistors between 10kΩ to 100kΩ for R1 and
R2.
PCB layout is critical to reduce noises and ensure specified
performance. See the LM2653 datasheet for layout guide-
lines. The artwork for the evaluation board is shown at the
end of this application note.
The schematic for the evaluation board is shown in Figure 1,
and the parts list is given in Table 1.
When the undervoltage protection occurs, the output voltage
can be pulled below ground as the inductor current is re-
versed through the synchronous FET. For applications which
need to be protected from a negative voltage, a clamping
diode D2 is recommended.
The PGOOD flag goes low whenever the overvoltage or
undervoltage latch protection is enabled. The overvoltage
protection will be enabled immediately when the output volt-
age exceeds 110% of its nominal. While the undervoltage
latch protection will wait for a period of time set by the
LDELAY capacitor. If the output voltage is still below 80% of
its nominal after this waiting period, the latch protection will
be enabled.
