Configuration Evaluation
Board
Introduction
This evaluation board has been designed to demonstrate the
LM3423 low-side controller as a step-up/step-down (buck-
boost) regulator to deliver constant current to high power
LEDs. A complete circuit schematic and bill of materials for
the evaluation board are included at the end of this document.
The printed circuit board consists of two layers of two ounce
copper on FR4 material. The LM3423 evaluation board is de-
signed so that all options available can be evaluated and
tested. Most applications will only require a few options there-
fore jumpers can be placed, or removed as needed. A
schematic of the full featured LM3423 evaluation board and
its bill of materials is provided in this document. Simplified
design examples with schematics and a bill of materials fol-
low.
Device Description
The LM3423 is a high voltage, low-side NFET controller with
an adjustable output current sense voltage. Output voltage
regulation is based on peak current-mode control, which eas-
es the design of loop compensation while providing inherent
input voltage feed-forward compensation. The LM3423 in-
cludes a high-voltage start-up regulator that operates over a
wide input range of 4.5V to 75V. The PWM controller is de-
signed for high speed capability including a switching fre-
quency range to 2.0 MHz. Additional features include “zero”
current shutdown, error amplifier, precision reference, logic-
compatible DIM input suitable for fast PWM dimming of the
output, cycle-by-cycle current limit, LED ready flag, fault flag,
programmable fault timer, and thermal shutdown.

Standard Evaluation Board Operating Configuration
Available features that can be configured on the standard
evaluation board by the user for are listed below:
f
Over-voltage protection set at 56V
V
Low side PWM fast dimming
2 to 8 series connected LEDs (V
UVLO set at 8.4V
I
Fixed or programmable LED current
High-speed PWM high-side or low-side dimming
User programmable over-voltage protection (OVP)
Under-voltage lock-out (UVLO) protection
Fault protection
Soft-start
Hysteretic current-mode control
Higher Input and / or Output Voltage Modifications
Although the standard LM3423 evaluation board is
designed to operate at input and output voltages up to
35V, the device is capable of operating with input and
output voltages up to 75V. Operation up to 75V can be
achieved by changing the voltage ratings of the input
capacitors (C1, C8, C17), output capacitors (C4, C7, C11,
C16), and transistors Q4, Q5, Q7. For output voltages
greater than 35V the OVP resistors R20 and R22 will need
to be adjusted.
