Introduction
This application report contains information about the printed circuit board (PCB).

General Description
The LM2650 evaluation board is provided as a tool for developing DC/DC converters based on the
LM2650 IC. It is configured for single-output, step-down DC/DC converters. Figure 1 is a complete
schematic of the board that can accommodate up to 28 components including the LM2650. Table 1 is a
complete list of pads for placing components.
Note: Not all applications will require the placement of all 28 components. The number of components
placed depends on the requirements of the application and the use of features like programmable softstart. The LM2650 evaluation board is intended to be a reusable tool on which many different converters
meeting the requirements of many different applications can be built. It is not intended to demonstrate only
one application of the LM2650.
For convenience, a sample of the LM2650 and eight other components have been assembled: a 0.1 µF
capacitor at each of C1, C2, C6, and CB, a 0.2 µF capacitor at CVDD, a 0.01 µF capacitor at CSS, a 24.9
kΩ resistor at R2, and a 0 Ω resistor at R4. Of the eight, the first seven are common to many applications,
and the last is simply a jumper grounding the SYNC input. When the synchronization feature is not being
used, the SYNC input should be grounded.

Example Circuits
The components contained in Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4 can be used to build typical application
circuits. As with the design of any DC/DC converter, the design of these involved tradeoffs between
efficiency, size, and cost. The converters detailed in Table 2 were designed with efficiency as the number
one criteria. Those detailed in Table 4 trade slightly higher switching losses for a much smaller inductor.

Thermal Performance
The 24-lead SO package is a molded plastic package with a solid copper lead frame. Most of the heat
generated at the die flows through the lead frame into the 3-ounce copper planes on the board. The board
then acts as a heat sink. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the packaged IC mounted on the
board has been measured to be 38°C/W, 37 °C/W, and 35 °C/W for the dissipation of 1.0W, 1.5W, and
2.0W respectively. These measurements were made in still air. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
of the packaged IC alone in still air is 78°C/W. The board is 0.063" thick FR-4 material.

Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
