LM27403EVM Evaluation Module
The LM27403EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a synchronous buck DC/DC regulator providing a fixed
1.2-V output at currents up to 25 A. The EVM is designed to operate from a single supply rail—no
additional bias voltage is required. The regulator uses the LM27403 high performance, synchronous buck
controller with voltage-mode PWM control loop, integrated MOSFET gate drivers, inductor DCR current
sensing, and remote temperature sense. The EVM's output voltage has better than 1% setpoint accuracy
and is adjustable between 0.6 V and 5.5 V simply by changing the lower feedback resistance. The
switching frequency is 250 kHz and is synchronizable to a higher frequency if required. Nominal input
voltage is 12 V but can vary from 3 V to 20V with suitable adjustment of the programmable UVLO.
The LM27403 PWM controller is available in a 4-mm × 4-mm WQFN-24 PowerPAD™ package to enable
high power density and superior thermal performance. Please consult the LM27403 datasheet for more
details. Even though the LM27403 is WEBENCH® Designer enabled, the reader is also encouraged to
avail of the LM27403 Design Tool, particularly for quick-start guidance with power train and compensation
circuit component selection.

Signal Connections and Test Point Descriptions
5.2
5.2.1
www.ti.com
Signal Connections
Input Voltage Monitoring
The LM27403EVM provides two test points for measuring the input voltage. This allows the user to
measure the actual input voltage without losses from input cables and connectors. All input voltage
measurements should be made between VIN and GND test points.
5.2.2
Output Voltage Monitoring
The LM27403EVM provides two test points for measuring the output voltage. This allows the user to
measure the actual output voltage without losses from output cables and connectors. Output voltage
measurements should be made between S+ and S- test points, or alternatively at the output voltage
banana connections.
5.2.3
Power Good Voltage Output
The LM27403EVM provides a test point for measuring the power good output voltage. A 20-kΩ resistor
pull-up to VDD is included to allow the Power Good signal to be monitored without requiring an external
pullup. For true open-drain operation with no pullup, remove Rpg. With Rpg removed, PGOOD can be
connected to UVLO/EN of another LM27403EVM to provide sequential startup of the two LM27403-based
regulators.
5.2.4
Soft-Start Voltage Monitoring / Track Input
The LM27403EVM provides a test point for measuring the Soft-Start voltage and for applying a tracking
voltage source. An external voltage from SS/TRACK to GND of 0 V to 0.6V can be used to adjust the
output voltage. Of course, where multiple regulators are used (e.g. in a distributed power architecture
application), the output voltage of one regulator can be applied to the SS/TRACK input of another
regulator using a resistor divider to provide appropriate scaling. Coincident or ratiometric startup behaviors
are thus possible.
5.2.5
UVLO / Enable Voltage Input
The LM27403EVM provides a test point for measuring the UVLO/EN voltage. Shorting this test point to
GND disables the regulator. The UVLO/EN voltage should not exceed the input voltage.
5.2.6
SYNC Input
The LM27403EVM provides a test point for applying a synchronization (SYNC) input signal. The freerunning switching frequency is set at 250 kHz by resistor Rf. However, the regulator can align in frequency
and phase with that of the applied SYNC signal up to 1.2 MHz. The applied SYNC voltage should not
exceed 5.5 V.
CAUTION
Some parameters can be configured, such as control loop compensation, to
values that can result in unexpected behavior of this EVM. Please refer to the
LM27403 datasheet, LM27403 design tool, or WEBENCH® Power Designer for
guidance related to component selection.

Test Equipment
Voltage Source: The input voltage source VIN should be a 0–20-V variable dc source capable of
supplying 10 A.
Multimeters:
• Voltmeter 1: Input voltage at VIN to GND
• Voltmeter 2: Output voltage at S+ to S– (or using the output connector lugs if remote sense is used)
• Ammeter 1: Input current (or use the power supply readout if its accuracy is deemed acceptable)
Electronic Load: The output load should be an electronic constant-resistance or constant-current mode
load capable of 0 Adc to 30 Adc at 1.2 V.
Oscilloscope: A digital or analog oscilloscope can be used to measure pertinent converter waveforms.
With the scope set to 20-MHz bandwidth and AC coupling, the output voltage ripple can be measured
directly across an output capacitor with a short ground lead normally provided with the scope probe. Place
the oscilloscope probe tip on the positive terminal of the output capacitor, holding the probe's ground
barrel through the ground lead to the capacitor's negative terminal. It is not recommended to use a long
leaded ground connection because this may induce additional noise given a large ground loop. To
measure other waveforms, adjust the oscilloscope as needed.

Test Setup and Procedure
www.ti.com
Fan: Some of this EVM’s components may approach temperatures of 50°C during operation. Although not
mandatory, a small fan capable of 200–400 LFM can be used to reduce component temperatures while
the EVM is operating. Exercise care when touching the EVM while the fan is not running. Always exercise
caution when touching any circuits that may be live or energized.
Recommended Wire Gauge:
• Input Source to VIN and GND: The recommended wire size is 1 × AWG #14 per input connection,
with the total length of wire less than 4 feet (2 feet input, 2 feet return).
• VOUT to LOAD: The minimum recommended wire size is 2 × AWG #14, with the total length of wire
less than 4 feet (2 feet input, 2 feet return).
6.2
Recommended Test Setup
6.2.1
Input Connections
• Prior to connecting the DC input source, it is advisable to limit the source current to 10 A maximum.
Make sure the input source is initially set to 0 V and connected to VIN and GND banana connections
as shown in Figure 3. While the on-board OSCON electrolytic capacitor provides input circuit damping,
an additional high-ESR input capacitor may be required if long input lines are used.
• Connect voltmeter 1 at VIN and GND test points to measure the input voltage.
• Connect ammeter 1 to measure the input current.
6.2.2
Output Connections
Connect an electronic load to VOUT and GND connections. Set the load to constant-resistance mode
or constant-current mode at 0 Adc before input voltage is applied. Use short load lines to minimize
voltage drop to the load.
• Connect voltmeter 2 at S+ and S– (or output connectors' solder lugs) to measure the output voltage.
• The output current level can be taken from the electronic load readout (if its accuracy is deemed
acceptable).

•
6.3.2
Line, Load Regulation and Efficiency
Set up the EVM as described above.
Set load to constant resistance or constant current mode and to sink 0 Adc.
Increase input source from 0 V to 12 V, using voltmeter 1 to measure input voltage.
Use voltmeter 2 to measure output voltage, VOUT.
Vary load from 0 to 25 Adc, VOUT should remain within load regulation specification.
Vary input source voltage from 7 V to 20 V, VOUT should remain within line regulation specification.
Decrease load to 0 A. Decrease input source voltage to 0 V.
Control Loop Gain and Phase
The 10-Ω positive sense resistor of the LM27403EVM is a convenient injection point for loop response
analysis.
• Reconfigure resistor Rc2 so that the compensator's RC lead network connects not to VOUT but to S+
(Rc2 is typically connected to VOUT to mitigate noise injection into FB when long sense lines are
used).
• Set up EVM as described previously.
• Connect isolation transformer secondary across Rs+.
• Connect input signal amplitude measurement (REF) probe to S+ and output signal amplitude
measurement probe (TEST) to VOUT.
• Connect ground leads to the GND test point as required.

Apply 10 mV or less AC signal to the isolation transformer primary. Adjust amplitude as necessary.
Sweep the frequency over the frequency range of interest (e.g. 100 Hz to 1 MHz) with 10 Hz or lower
post filter.
Measure the control loop gain and phase characteristic. Record the crossover frequency and phase
margin.
Disconnect isolation transformer before making other measurements (signal injection into the loop may
interfere with the integrity of other measurements).
