AN-1449 LM2747 Evaluation Board

Introduction
This document describes the LM2747 printed circuit board (PCB) design and provides an example typical
application circuit. The demo board allows component design flexibility in order to demonstrate the
versatility of the LM2747 IC.
The demo board contains a voltage-mode, high-speed synchronous buck regulator controller. Though the
control sections of the IC are rated for 3 V to 6 V (VCC), the driver sections are designed to accept input
supply rails (VIN) as high as 14 V.
The demo board design regulates to an output voltage of 1.2 V at 3.5A with a switching frequency of
1MHz from a 1 MHz clock source that has an amplitude from 0 V to VCC. Note, the demo board is
optimized for a 1MHz, 14 V input voltage compensation design with VCC = 3.3 V. If a slower switching
frequency and input voltage is desired, please consult the device data sheet for control loop compensation
procedures. For additional design modifications, see the Design Consideration section of the LM2747
Synchronous Buck Controller With Pre-Bias Startup, and Optional Clock Synchronization Data Sheet
(SNVS370).
The demo board accommodates the use of banana clips to clip onto pads on the board, if preferred, the
pads inner diameters are 100mils, for which a solder terminal can be placed (Newark 40F6004). The PCB
is designed on two layers with 1oz. copper on a 62mil FR4 laminate.

Additional Footprints
An additional footprint D1 is available for a Schottky diode to be placed in parallel with the low side
MOSFET. This component can improve efficiency, due to the lower forward drop than the low side
MOSFET body diode conducting during the anti-shoot through period. Select a Schottky diode that
maintains a forward drop around 0.4 to 0.6 V at the maximum load current (consult the I-V curve). In
addition select the reverse breakdown voltage to have sufficient margin above the maximum input voltage.
Footprint C13 is available for a multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) connected flush to the source of the
low side MOSFET and drain of the high side MOSFET, in order to provide low supply impedance. For
example, component C13 is used in combination with aluminum electrolytic input filter capacitors, placed
in designators C12 and C14. If MLCCs are used in designators C12 and C14 component C13 is not
necessary.

changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
