User's Guide SNVA013D – December 2000 – Revised April 2013 AN-1135 LM267X 3A, 5A Evaluation Boards 1 Introduction The LM267X evaluation board was developed for the evaluation of LM267X SIMPLE SWITCHER series of 3 Amp and 5 Amp high efficiency step-down (Buck) switching voltage regulators. This application note describes the printed circuit board, and provides example circuits and directions on setup and operation of the LM2673S-5_EVAL and LM2679S-5_EVAL evaluation boards. 2 General Description Many of our boards are intended to provide the user with device characterization and layout optimization data. The LM267x evaluation board was intended to allow the user to experiment with a variety of circuit topologies and components, and therefore not optimized for size. Please refer to the discussions of layout optimization in the PCB Layout Optimization section. This board was designed such that both through-hole and surface-mount components can be used for construction. The regulator IC can be placed on the board as a surface-mount component only. The ground plane serves as a heatsink. Table 1 shows an overview of the family of devices with special features of each indicated. Consult the device data sheet, or use the special power supply design software calledSwitchers Made Simple version 6.X (available for free download from www.ti.com) to determine all necessary component values for the particular device being used to accomplish a specific design and board layout considerations. The printed circuit board, PCB, is labeled to indicate the location of all of the needed components for all possible design options. Table 2 shows a complete list of the component labels and their functions. Figure 1 identifies all components, but not all are necessary in every design. Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the top, bottom and silk screen of the printed circuit board respectively. Table 1.

Silkscreen Image of Printed Circuit Board 3 Special Notes The evaluation board was designed primarily for circuit implementation using all surface-mount components. The small series "trace inductance", particularly from the Switch Output pin, can create a high frequency (10's of MHz) ringing signal at the switch output. If problematic, this ringing can be reduced or eliminated by the use of a series RC damper or snubber network from the switch output to ground. The addition of these components is made at the locations labeled CD and RD. Values of 0.01 µF and 10Ω are good starting values that may need to be varied depending on the magnitude of parasitic factors in a given design. In an actual end application, these components are normally not required if proper care to minimize trace lengths is taken in the PCB design. 4 Example Circuit Designs Example 1: 5V/3A Converter with Surface Mount Components. In this example, it is desired to convert a voltage range of between 8V and 12V, to 5VDC with load current of 3A. It is also desired to implement the design with surface mount components only. Softstart duration will be set to between 1 and 1.5 ms. Table 3. Target Design Specifications VIN min. 8V VIN max. 16V VOUT 5V ILOAD 3A ICL 5.0A (approx.) TSS 1 to 1.5 ms Table 4.

Output Response to 0∼ ∼5A Transient Load 6 Operating the Evaluation Boards 6.1 Setup The LM2673S-5_EVAL and LM2679S-5_EVAL evaluation boards come ready to be tested. The only setup needed is connecting the input voltage to the VIN and GND posts. The output can be taken from the VOUT post. The other signals of interest, switch output (SW out) and softstart (C_SS) posts, are clearly marked for use in checking the signal integrity. The softstart post has an ON/OFF input when this feature is being used. 6.2 Operating Conditions The input source for the LM267x family of regulators must be 8V or greater for proper setup and operation. The input voltage range for LM2673S-5_EVAL evaluation board is from 8V to 12V and the range for LM2679S-5_EVAL is from 14V to 28V. The maximum voltage rating of the LM267x family of regulators is 40V. Load can be applied from 0A to the maximum for the design. Higher current above the design current limit will result in activation of the design current limit circuit. It is advisable to have a minimal load of (at least 10 mA) during startup when the input to output differential voltage is greater than 10V to prevent output ramping beyond desired value. 6.3 PCB Layout Optimization As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance can generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal inductance and ground loops, the printed circuit traces should be as wide and short as possible on the PCB. For best results, external components should be located as close to the switcher IC as possible using ground plane construction or single point grounding. If open core inductors are used, special care must be taken as to the location and positioning of this type of inductor. Allowing the inductor flux to intersect sensitive feedback, IC groundpath and COUT wiring can cause problems. When using the adjustable version, special care must be taken as to the location of the feedback resistors and associated wiring. Physically locate both resistors near the IC, and route the wiring away from the inductor, especially an open core type of inductor. 12 AN-1135 LM267X 3A, 5A Evaluation Boards SNVA013D – December 2000 – Revised April 2013 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2000–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated IMPORTANT NOTICE Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue.
