ABSTRACT
The Texas Instruments LM63635DNEVM evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and
performance of the LM636x5CAQDRRQ1 buck regulator. The LM636x5CAQDRRQ1 is a family of easy-to-use
synchronous step-down DC/DC converters capable of driving up to 3.5 A of load current from an input voltage
of 3.5 V to 36 V. See the LM636x5-Q1 3.5-V to 36-V, 1.5-A, and 2.5-A Automotive Step-down Voltage Converter
Data Sheet for additional features, detailed description, and available options. Please note that this EVM
is designed for the LM636x5CAQDRRQ1. This device has a different pin-out than the other devices in the
LM636x5-Q1 product family.

Setup
1 Setup
This section describes the test points and connectors on the EVM and how to properly connect, set up, and use
the LM63635DNEVM. Either the banana jacks on the top of the board or the card edge connector can be used
for connections. See Figure 1-1 for the top of board connections and Figure 1-2 for the card edge connections.
See the LM636x5-Q1 3.5-V to 36-V, 1.5-A, and 2.5-A Automotive Step-down Voltage Converter Data Sheet for
details. The following lists the functions of the connections:
VINEMI
Input supply to EVM. Connect to a suitable input supply.
GND
System ground.
VOUT
Output of EVM. Connect to desired load.
VOS
Output voltage sense connection (do not use for power; sense only).
VIS
Input voltage sense connection (do not use for power; sense only).
GNDS
Ground sense point for analog measurements (do not use for power; sense only).

1.1 Jumpers
See Figure 1-3 for jumper locations.
MODE This jumper allows the selection of either AUTO mode or FPWM mode. In addition, by removing this
jumper and supplying a clock signal to the SYNC/MODE test point, the device can by synchronized to
an external clock.
EN
This jumper turns the device on or off. In addition, by removing this jumper and supplying a signal to the
EN test point, the device can be controlled externally.

Operation
www.ti.com
2 Operation
Once the above connections are made and the appropriate jumpers are set, the EVM is ready to use.
The EVM is configured for a 5-V output. The output voltage can be changed by changing the values of
resistors R2 (RFBT) and or R3 (RFBB). Depending on the output capacitors and the desired loop performance, a
feed-forward capacitor, C5 (CFF) can be desirable. A space is available on the EVM for this optional component.
See the LM636x5-Q1 3.5-V to 36-V, 1.5-A, and 2.5-A Automotive Step-down Voltage Converter Data Sheet for
more information.
The switching mode of the EVM can be changed by using the MODE jumper; this selection can be made
on-the-fly.
The RESET flag is used to indicate when the output voltage is within +/- 5 % of the regulated value. This EVM is
configured with a 100 kΩ pull-up resistor from RESET to VCC (about 5V). A low on RESET indicates the output
voltage is out of regulation. The pull-up resistor can be removed and the open-drain RESET pin can be used to
control a system processor from the EVM. Be sure to limit the voltage on the RESET to less than the specified
Abs max for this pin.
Some components in the EMI filter are not populated. The user is free to experiment with different EMI filter
components as desired.
Loop gain measurements (Bode plots) can be made using the setup shown in Figure 1-4.
The EVM has been designed for maximum flexibility regarding component selection. This allows the user to
place preferred components such as the inductor, the capacitors, or both, on the board and test the performance
of the regulator. This way the power supply system can be tested before committing the design to production.
