EV8774H-Q-00A
High-Efficiency, 1400kHz, 12A, 18V
Step-Down Converter Evaluation Board
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EV8774H-Q-00A Evaluation Board is
designed to demonstrate the capabilities of
MPS’ MP8774H, a fully-integrated highfrequency, synchronous rectified, step-down,
switch-mode converter with internal power
MOSFETs. It offers a very compact solution to
achieve a 12A continuous output current over a
wide input range, with excellent load and line
regulation. The MP8774H has synchronousmode operation for higher efficiency over the
output current-load range.
Constant On-Time control operation provides
very fast transient response and easy loop
design as well as very tight output regulation.
Full protection features include SCP, OCP,
UVP, and thermal shutdown.
The MP8774H requires a minimal number of
readily-available,
standard,
external
components and is available in a space-saving
QFN-16 (3mmх3mm) package.

QUICK START GUIDE
1. Preset Power Supply to12V.
2. Turn Power Supply off.
3. Connect Power Supply terminals to:
a. Positive (+): VIN
b. Negative (–): GND
4. Connect Load to:
a. Positive (+): VOUT
b. Negative (–): GND
5. Turn Power Supply on after making connections. The board will automatically start up.
6. To use the Enable function, apply a digital input to the EN pin. Drive EN higher than 1.4V to turn
on the regulator, or less than 0.9V to turn it off.
