EVALUATION BOARD CONFIGURATIONS
The ADP1761, the ADP1762, and the ADP1763 evaluation
boards come supplied with different components, depending on
the version ordered. Components common to all versions are
C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, J1, and R2. Use R1 for the adjustable output
version of the ADP1761, the ADP1762, and the ADP1763
evaluation boards. Figure 9 and Figure 10 show the schematics
of these evaluation board configurations, and Table 1 describes
the hardware components.
The ADP1761, the ADP1762, and the ADP1763 adjustable
option has an output voltage range of 0.5 V to 1.5 V. The output
voltage is set to 1.1 V by the external 7.32 kΩ adjust resistor.
Calculate the output voltage (VOUT) by
tSTART-UP_FIXED = tDELAY + VREF × (CSS/ISS)
tSTART-UP_ADJ = tDELAY + VADJ × (CSS/ISS)
where:
tDELAY is a fixed delay of 100 μs.
VREF is a 0.5 V internal reference for the fixed output model option.
CSS is the soft start capacitance from SS to GND.
ISS is the current sourced from SS (10 μA).
VADJ is the voltage at the VADJ pin equal to RADJ × IADJ.
Table 1. Evaluation Board Hardware Components
Component
U1
VOUT = AD × (RADJ × IADJ)
where:
AD is the gain factor with a typical value of 3 between the VADJ pin
and VOUT pin.
RADJ is the resistor connected between the VADJ pin and
ground.
IADJ is the 50 μA constant current out of the VADJ pin.
The ADP1761, the ADP1762, and the ADP1763 fixed option
uses a 1.3 V output model. Do not connect R1 for the fixed
output option.

Figure 3. Output Voltage Measurement Setup
Figure 3 shows how the evaluation boards can be connected to a
voltage source and a voltmeter for basic output voltage accuracy
measurements.
A resistor can be used as the load for the regulator. Ensure that
the resistor has a power rating that is adequate to handle the
power expected to dissipate across it. An electronic load can
also be used as an alternative. Ensure that the voltage source can
supply enough current for the expected load levels.
Follow these steps to connect the evaluation board to a voltage
source and voltmeter:
1.
2.
Connect the negative terminal (−) of the voltage source to
one of the GND pads on the evaluation board.
Connect the positive terminal (+) of the voltage source to
the VIN pad on the evaluation board.
3.
4.
5.
Connect a load between the VOUT pad and one of the
GND pads on the evaluation board.
Connect the negative terminal (−) of the voltmeter to one
of the GND pads on the evaluation board.
Connect the positive terminal (+) of the voltmeter to the
VOUT pad on the evaluation board.
When these steps are completed, the voltage source can be turned
on. If J1 is inserted (connecting EN to VIN for automatic startup),
the regulator powers up.
If the load current is large, the user must connect the voltmeter
as close as possible to the output capacitor to reduce the effects
of IR voltage drops.

LINE REGULATION MEASUREMENTS
For line regulation measurements, the output of the regulator is
monitored while its input is varied. For good line regulation, the
output must change as little as possible with varying input levels.
To ensure that the device is not in dropout mode during line
regulation measurement, VIN must be varied between VOUT + 0.2 V
(or 1.1 V, whichever is greater) and 1.98 V. For example, for an
ADP1761, an ADP1762, or an ADP1763 device with a fixed 1.3 V
output, VIN must be varied between 1.5 V and 1.98 V. This
measurement can be repeated under different load conditions.
Figure 4 shows the typical line regulation performance of an
ADP1761, an ADP1762, and an ADP1763 with a fixed 1.3 V
output.

DROPOUT VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
The dropout voltage can be measured using the configuration
shown in Figure 3. Dropout voltage is defined as the input to
output voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the
nominal output voltage. The ADP1761, the ADP1762, and the
ADP1763 only enter dropout mode for output voltages of at
least 1.2 V. For lower voltage outputs, the ADP1761, the ADP1762,
and the ADP1763 enter undervoltage lockout and shut down.
The dropout voltage increases with larger loads.

LOAD REGULATION MEASUREMENTS
For accurate measurements, use a second voltmeter to monitor
the input voltage across the input capacitor. The input supply
voltage may need adjusting to account for IR drops, especially
when using large load currents. Figure 6 shows the typical curve
of dropout voltage measurements with different load currents.
For load regulation measurements, the output of the regulator is
monitored while the load is varied. For good load regulation,
the output must change as little as possible with varying load.
The input voltage must be held constant during load regulation
measurement. The load current can be varied from 0 mA to 1 A
for the ADP1761, 0 mA to 2 A for the ADP1762, and 0 mA to
3 A for the ADP1763. Figure 5 shows the typical load regulation
performance of an ADP1761, an ADP1762, and an ADP1763
with a fixed 1.3 V output for an input voltage of 1.5 V.

GROUND CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
GROUND CURRENT CONSUMPTION
Figure 8 shows how the ADP1761, the ADP1762, or the
ADP1763 evaluation board can be connected to a voltage source
and an ammeter for ground current measurements.
Ground current measurements can determine how much current
the internal circuits of the regulator consume while the circuits
perform the regulation function. To be efficient, the regulator
must consume as little current as possible. Typically, the regulator
uses the maximum current when supplying its largest load level
(1 A for the ADP1761, 2 A for the ADP1762, and 3 A for the
ADP1763). Figure 7 shows the typical ground current
consumption for various load levels at VOUT = 1.3 V and TA =
25°C.

Connect the positive terminal (+) of the voltage source to
the VIN pad on the evaluation board.
Connect the positive terminal (+) of the ammeter to one of
the GND pads on the evaluation board.
Connect the negative terminal (−) of the ammeter to the
negative (−) terminal of the voltage source.
Connect a load between the VOUT pad on the evaluation
board and the negative (−) terminal of the voltage source.
When the device is disabled (EN = GND), the ground current
drops to less than 2 μA.
When these connection steps are completed, the voltage source
can be turned on. If J1 is inserted (connecting EN to VIN for
automatic startup), the regulator powers up.
