Evaluating the ADP1607 2 MHz, Synchronous Boost, DC-to-DC Converter
FEATURES
The ADP1607 is a high efficiency, synchronous, fixed
frequency, step-up dc-to-dc switching converter with an
adjustable output voltage between 1.8 V and 3.3 V for use
in portable applications.
0.8 V to VOUT input voltage range
Low 0.9 V input start-up voltage
Fixed 2 MHz PWM and light load PFM mode options
Auto PFM/PWM transition modes (ADP1607-EVALZ)
PWM mode only (ADP1607-001-EVALZ)
3.3 V output voltage
Jumper for enable/shutdown control
R1 and R2 selected for VOUT = 3.3 V output voltages
The 2 MHz operating frequency enables the use of small
footprint, low profile external components. Additionally, the
synchronous rectification, internal compensation, internal fixed
current limit, and current mode architecture allow for excellent
transient response and a minimal external part count. Other
key features include fixed PWM and light load PFM mode
options, true output isolation, thermal shutdown (TSD), and
logic controlled enable.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1607 evaluation board is a complete step-up, dc-to-dc
switching converter application with components selected to allow
operation over the full input voltage and load ranges for VOUT =
3.3 V. The boost converter is set to transition automatically
between PFM and PFM (ADP1607-EVALZ) or fixed to operate
in PWM mode only (ADP1607-001-EVALZ). The evaluation
boards can be adjusted for different output voltages by changing
the feedback resistors, R1 and R2.
This user guide includes I/O descriptions, setup instructions,
and the schematic and PCB layout drawings for the ADP1607
step-up converter evaluation board.
Complete specifications for the ADP1607 are available in the
ADP1607 data sheet and should be consulted in conjunction
with this document when using the evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
The ADP1607 evaluation board is fully assembled and tested.
The following sections describe the various connectors on the
board, the proper evaluation setup, and the testing capabilities
of the evaluation board.
INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTORS
EVALUATION SETUP
To ensure proper operation of the ADP1607 evaluation board:
1.
2.
3.
EN Test Bus
The EN connector is used to enable/disable the converter via
the EN pin. Use one of the following methods to enable the
converter. Do not leave the EN pin floating.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Use a jumper to connect the top two pins of the EN test
bus. This connects EN to VIN and enables the converter
(see Figure 2).

JUMPER

The following sections discuss tests and the resulting oscilloscope
waveforms. Oscilloscope waveforms and typical performance
characteristics are provided in the ADP1607 data sheet.
Line Regulation
11089-002
•

5.
The line regulation is observed and measured by monitoring
the output voltage (VOUT) while varying the input voltage (VIN).
Figure 2. Enabled Jumper Position
Use a jumper to connect the bottom two pins of the EN test
bus. This connects EN to GND and disables the converter
(see Figure 3).

Alternatively, connect a voltage between VIN and GND to the
center pin of the EN test bus for independent control of the
EN pin voltage (see Figure 4).

Load Regulation
The load regulation is observed and measured by monitoring the
output voltage (VOUT) while sweeping the applied load between
VOUT and GND. To minimize voltage drop, use short low
resistance wires, especially for heavy loads.
Efficiency
Figure 3. Disabled Jumper Position
•
Connect the input supply ground to GND.
Connect the positive input supply to VIN.
Connect the desired load between VOUT and GND. The
maximum continuous output current of the ADP1607 is
dependent upon the input and output voltage conditions.
Apply a voltage between 0.9 V and VOUT to the VIN test bus.
Move the jumper on the EN test bus to the enabled position.
The efficiency, η, is measured by comparing the input power to
the output power.
η=
VOUT × I OUT
VIN × I IN
Line Transient
Figure 4. EN Pin Direct Connection
VIN Test Bus
The VIN test bus connects the positive input supply voltage to
the VIN pin. Connect the power supply to this bus and keep the
wires as short as possible to minimize EMI transmissions.
SW Test Point
The SW test point is for monitoring the switch node (SW pin)
behavior and switching frequency. Connect a BNC cable to this
test point to measure the ADP1607 switching frequency.
VOUT Test Bus
The output voltage at the VOUT test bus is set by the resistive
voltage divider network, R1 and R2. A load can be attached
from the VOUT test bus to the GND test bus.
GND Test Bus
The GND test bus is the power ground connection for the part
via the GND pin as well as the bypass capacitors. Connect ground
connections from external equipment to this bus.
The line transient performance is evaluated by generating a high
speed voltage transient on the input (VIN) and observing the
behavior of the evaluation board at the output (VOUT).
Load Transient
The load transient performance is evaluated by generating a fast
current transient on the output (VOUT) and observing the
behavior of the evaluation board at the output (VOUT.)
Oscillator Frequency
The oscillator frequency can be measured by connecting an
oscilloscope to the SW pin.
Inductor Current
The inductor current is made accessible by removing one side
of the inductor from its pad and connecting a current loop in
series. Place an oscilloscope current probe on the loop to view
the current waveform.

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
For high efficiency, good regulation, and stability, a welldesigned printed circuit board layout is required.
Use the following guidelines when designing printed
circuit boards.

Keep the low ESR input capacitor, C1, close to VIN and
GND. This minimizes noise injected into the part from
board parasitic inductance.
Keep the high current path from C1 through the L1
inductor to SW as short as possible.
Place the feedback resistors, R1 and R2, as close to FB as
possible to prevent noise pickup. Connect the ground of
the feedback network directly to an AGND plane that
makes a Kelvin connection to the GND pin.
Avoid routing high impedance traces from feedback
resistors near any node connected to SW or near the
inductor to prevent radiated noise injection.
Keep the low ESR output capacitor, C3, close to VOUT and
GND. This minimizes noise injected into the part from
board parasitic inductance.
Connect Pin 7 (EPAD) and GND to a large copper plane
for proper heat dissipation.
