Evaluation Board Documentation
EVAL-ADP1612/ADP1613
The ADP1612/ADP1613 evaluation module operates in
pulse-width modulation (PWM) current mode with up to 94%
efficiency. The shunt-selectable switching frequency and PWM
current-mode architecture allow for excellent transient response,
easy noise filtering, and the use of small, cost-saving external
inductors and capacitors. Other key features include a 33 nF
soft start capacitor, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), thermal
shutdown (TSD), and jumper selected enable. The evaluation
module demonstrates the operation and performance of the
ADP1612/ADP1613.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1612/ADP1613 evaluation module is a complete stepup dc-to-dc switching converter application with components
selected to allow operation over the full range of input and load
conditions for the 5 V (ADP1612) and 12 V (ADP1613) output
voltages. The evaluation boards can be adjusted for different
output voltages by changing R1 and R2. In addition, L1, D1, C3,
and R3 may need to be adjusted and should be recalculated to
ensure stable operation.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
The ADP1612/ADP1613 evaluation module 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 module.
VOUT Test Bus
INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTORS
VIN Test Bus
EN 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 the EMI transmission.
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.
•
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.
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).
SW Test Point

The SW test point is for measuring the switch node (SW pin)
behavior and switching frequency.

•
The output voltage at the VOUT test bus is set by the resistive
voltage divider network, R1 and R2. A load can be attached to
the VOUT test bus.
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).
EVALUATION SETUP

the ADP1612/ADP1613 evaluation module:

Select the passive components for the bypass capacitance,
desired output voltage, compensation, and start-up time,
using the applications information from the ADP1612/
ADP1613 data sheet.
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 ADP1612/
ADP1613 is dependent upon the input and output
conditions.
Apply a voltage between 1.8 V and 5.5 V (ADP1612) or
2.5 V and 5.5 V (ADP1613) to the VIN test bus.
Move the jumper on the EN test bus to the enabled position.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Line Transient
The following sections discuss tests and the resulting oscilloscope waveforms. Oscilloscope waveforms and typical
performance characteristics are provided in the ADP1612/
ADP1613 data sheet.
The line transient performance is evaluated by generating a
high speed voltage transient on the input (VIN) and observing
the behavior of the evaluation module at the inductor (SW) and
the output (VOUT.)
Line Regulation
Load Transient
The line regulation is observed and measured by monitoring
the output voltage (VOUT) while varying the input voltage (VIN).
The load transient performance is evaluated by generating a fast
current transient on the output (VOUT) and observing the
behavior of the evaluation module at the inductor (SW) and the
output (VOUT.)
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.
Oscillator Frequency
The oscillator frequency can be measured by connecting an
oscilloscope to the SW pin.
Efficiency
Inductor Current
The efficiency, η, is measured by comparing the input power to
the output power
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 (PCB) layout is essential.
Use the following guidelines when designing PCBs:

Keep the low ESR input capacitor, CIN (labeled as C7 in
Figure 8), close to VIN and GND. This minimizes noise
injected into the part from board parasitic inductance.
Keep the high current path from CIN (labeled as C7 in
Figure 8) through the L1 inductor to SW and GND as
short as possible.
Keep the high current path from VIN through L1, the
rectifier (D1), and the output capacitor, COUT (labeled as
C4 in Figure 8), as short as possible.
Keep high current traces as short and as wide as possible.
Place the feedback resistors as close to FB as possible to
prevent noise pickup. Connect the ground of the feedback
network directly to an AGND plane to make a Kelvin
connection to the GND pin.
Place the compensation components as close as possible to
COMP. Connect the ground of the compensation network
directly to an AGND plane that makes a Kelvin connection
to the GND pin.
Connect the soft start capacitor, CSS (labeled as C1 in
Figure 8), as close to the device as possible. Connect the
ground of the soft start capacitor to an AGND plane that
makes a Kelvin connection to the GND pin.
Avoid routing high impedance traces from the compensation and feedback resistors near any node connected to SW
or near the inductor to prevent radiated noise injection.
