Evaluating the ADP5303 Ultralow Step-Down Regulator
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Ultralow quiescent current
Input voltage monitoring
Few external components and compact solution size
The ADP5303 is an ultralow power, synchronous step-down
dc-to-dc regulator in a 9-lead WLCSP package. The ADP5303
runs from input voltages of 2.06 V to 6.5 V and requires minimal
external components to provide a high efficiency solution with an
integrated power switch, synchronous rectifier, and internal
compensation.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
ADP5303 evaluation board
Power supply
Electronic load
Multimeter
The ADP5303 evaluation board provides an easy way to evaluate
the device. This user guide describes how to quickly set up the
board to collect performance data.
DOCUMENTS NEEDED
Complete information about the ADP5303 is available in the
ADP5303 data sheet, which should be consulted in conjunction
with this user guide when using the evaluation board.

SETTING UP THE EVALUATION BOARD
POWERING UP THE EVALUATION BOARD
Output Load Connection
The ADP5303 evaluation board arrives is fully assembled and
tested. Before applying power to the evaluation board, follow
the setup procedures in this section.
Before connecting the load to the ADP5303 evaluation board,
ensure the board is turned off. If the load includes a current
meter or if the current is not measured, connect the load
directly to the evaluation board as follows:
Jumper Settings
Table 1 describes the jumper settings. Before selecting the jumper
settings, make sure that the enable input, EN, is high.

Input Power Source Connection
Before connecting a power source to the ADP5303 evaluation
board, ensure the board is turned off. If the input power source
includes a current meter, use the meter to monitor the input
current as follows:
1.
2.
Connect the positive terminal of the power source to the
VIN terminal (J1) on the evaluation board.
Connect the negative terminal of the power source to the
GND terminal (J3) on the board.
If the power source does not include a current meter, connect a
current meter in series with the input source voltage as follows:
1.
2.
3.
Connect the positive terminal of the power source to the
positive terminal of the current meter.
Connect the negative terminal of the power source to the
GND terminal (J3) on the evaluation board.
Connect the negative terminal of the current meter to the
VIN terminal (J1) on the evaluation board.
Connect the positive load connection to the VOUT
terminal (J2) on the evaluation board.
Connect the negative load connection to the GND
terminal (J4) on the evaluation board.
If a current meter is used, connect it in series with the load as
follows:
1.
2.
3.
Connect the positive terminal of the current meter to the
VOUT terminal (J2) on the evaluation board.
Connect the negative terminal of the current meter to the
positive terminal of the load.
Connect the negative terminal of the load to the GND
terminal (J4) on the evaluation board.
Input and Output Voltmeter Connections
Measure the input and output voltages with voltmeters. Ensure
the voltmeters connect to the appropriate test points on the board.
If the voltmeters are not connected to the correct test point, the
measured voltages may be incorrect due to the voltage drop across
the leads or the connections between the board, the power source,
and/or the load.

3.
4.
Connect the positive terminal of the voltmeter measuring the
input voltage to the TP1 test point on the evaluation board.
Connect the negative terminal of the voltmeter measuring
the input voltage to the TP4 test point on the evaluation board.
Connect the positive terminal of the voltmeter measuring
the input voltage to the TP3 test point on the evaluation board.
Connect the negative terminal of the voltmeter measuring
the input voltage to the TP6 test point on the evaluation board.
Power On the Evaluation Board
When the power source and load connect to the ADP5303
evaluation board, the board can power on. If the input power
source exceeds 2.06 V (typical), the output voltage rises to 1.8 V
by default.

MEASURING EVALUATION BOARD PERFORMANCE
Measuring the Switching Waveform
To observe the switching waveform with an oscilloscope, place
the oscilloscope probe tip at the TP2 and TP4 test points with the
probe ground connected to GND. Set the oscilloscope to a dc
coupling, 2 V/division, 1 µs/division time base. The switching
waveform must alternate between 0 V and the approximate
input voltage.
A standard oscilloscope probe has a long wire ground clip. For
high frequency measurements, this ground clip picks up high
frequency noise and injects it into the measured output ripple.
Figure 2 shows a simple way to properly measure the output ripple.
It requires removing the oscilloscope probe sheath and wrapping a
nonshielded wire around the oscilloscope probe. By keeping the
ground lengths of the oscilloscope probe as short as possible,
true ripple is measureable.
Measuring Load Regulation
Test load regulation by increasing the load at the output and
measuring the output voltage between the TP4 and TP7 test
points.
Measuring Line Regulation
Vary the input voltage and measure the output voltage at a fixed
output current. Measure the input voltage between the TP1 and
TP4 test points. Measure the output voltage between the TP3 and
TP6 test points.
η =
13508-002
Measuring Efficiency
The efficiency, η, is measured by comparing the input power
with the output power.
VOUT × I OUT
V IN × I IN
Figure 2. Output Ripple Measurement
Measuring Inductor Current
Measure the inductor current by removing one end of the inductor
from the pad on the board and using a wire connected between
the pad and the inductor. Use a current probe to measure the
inductor current through the wire.
Measuring Output Voltage Ripple
Output Voltage Change
The output voltage of the evaluation board is preset to 1.8 V.
However, the output voltage can be adjusted with an external
RVID resistor through the VID pin to GND (see Table 5 in the
ADP5303 data sheet).
To observe the output voltage ripple, place an oscilloscope probe
across the C2 and C3 output capacitors with the probe ground
lead placed at the negative capacitor terminal and the probe tip
placed at the positive capacitor terminal. Set the oscilloscope to
an ac coupling, 10 mV/division, 2 µs/division time base and
20 MHz bandwidth.
