2.0 Design Description
The LM3152-3.3 demonstration board is part of the PowerWise® family of SIMPLE SWITCHER® Controllers. It has
been designed to balance solution size and performance.
The Constant-On-Time (COT) Emulated Ripple Mode (ERM)
Control allows for the use of low ESR output capacitors and
therefore decreases the output voltage ripple while maintaining a fast transient response. There is no loop compensation
required for the COT architecture, as there is in voltage-mode
and current mode control architectures, which helps to facilitate the ease of design and fast transient response. The
demo board uses a 2-layer, 2 ounce copper PCB with all of
the components mounted on the top side. The LM3152-3.3
IC has a fixed output voltage of 3.3V and will operate over the
input voltage range of 6V to 24V at 10A load current. The
components within the dashed line of the board photo in Figure 3, represent the total design solution. The aluminum
electrolytic input capacitor Cin1 is used for input filter damping
when using long leads, which contributes to parasitic induc-
tance in the lab while using the demo board. Cin1 along with
the input/output posts and EN test point connector may not
be needed when the final circuit is integrated in the system
design.

CONNECTOR POSTS DESCRIPTIONS
Vin: This post is used to connect to the input voltage supply
rail. Input voltage ranges between 6V and 24V and the max
nominal input current is 6A. Appropriate leads should be connected to this terminal that can handle this amount of input
current plus fault conditions which could have input currents
as high 10A peak. Therefore, it is recommended to use 16
gauge wire as a minimum for the input leads.
GND: There are two GND posts which are connected to the
ground of the IC. One should be used for the input voltage
supply and the other should be used for the output voltage.
The GND post closest to the input supply post Vin should be
used for the input supply ground, and likewise the GND post
closest to the output post Vo should be used for the Vo
ground. For the Vin ground connector lead it is recommended
to use 16 gauge wire or larger. Whereas the output ground
connector lead is recommended to use 15 gauge wire or larger.
Vo: This post connects to the output voltage of the
LM3152-3.3 Simple Controller. When connecting the load to
this post, it is recommended to use 15 gauge wire or larger.
The max average load current is designed for 10A with a cur-
MEASURING RIPPLE
To get an accurate measurement of the output ripple voltage
it is necessary to eliminate the long pig-tale from the scope
probe and use a short ground connector or just the shaft of
the barrel to connect to ground. This will minimize parasitic
inductance from the scope probe and allow for a more accurate measurement. The output voltage ripple measurement
should be taken directly across the output capacitors. As a
matter of convenience, the measurement can also be taken
across the output terminals if a ceramic 1µF capacitor is
mounted on Cf (1206 footprint) to minimize parasitic inductance from the terminals to the output capacitors.
COMPONENT TEMPERATURE RISE
The temperature rise of each device was measured on the
case of each device in still air at room temperature.
