Introduction
The LM3753/54 evaluation board is designed to provide the design engineer with a fully functional power
converter based solution using two LM3753 or LM3754 2-Phase Buck Controllers. This evaluation board
produces an output voltage of 1.2 V at 25A per phase for a total of 100A. The switching frequency for the
converter is set to 300 kHz per phase, for an effective 1.2 MHz at the input and output. The gate signals

Powering and Loading Considerations
Read this entire page prior to attempting to power the evaluation board.
2.1
QUICK SETUP PROCEDURE
Step 1: Use an input power supply with at least 30A current capability. Connect the positive output of the
power supply to the VIN terminal T1. Connect the negative output of the power supply to the input GND
terminal T2.
Step 2: Connect a load with 100A capability to the VOUT terminal T3 and GND terminal T4.
Step 3: (LM3753 only) Connect a secondary power supply to the TRACK terminal TP13 and GND
terminal TP2. Set the power supply voltage to 3.3V. Since the LM3753 is configured such that VOUT
follows the TRACK input, VOUT cannot come up without applying a voltage to TRACK.
Step 4: Ensure that the Load Pulse switch SW1 is in the center OFF position. Check that the current limit
trimmers R18 and R26 are turned fully clockwise for maximum output current. J1, J3, J5 and J7 should be
installed, with J2, J4, J6 and J8 open.
Step 5: Set VIN to 12 V with no load being applied. Turn on the input power supply (followed by the
secondary power supply for the LM3753 TRACK). The output voltage should be in regulation with a
nominal value of 1.2V.
Step 6: Slowly increase the load while monitoring the output voltage. The output voltage should remain in
regulation up to the full load current of 100A.
Step 7: Slowly vary the input voltage from 6V to 18V. The output voltage should remain in regulation with
a nominal value of 1.2V.

Board Configuration
3.1
LM3753 TRACK
The LM3753 evaluation board is configured such that VOUT follows the TRACK input. This configuration
will not allow VOUT to come up without applying a voltage to TRACK. In order to produce 1.2V on the
output, the TRACK pin must be connected to a secondary 3.3V power supply.
To prevent current limit during startup, the rise time of the 3.3V TRACK signal should be longer than 100
μs.
3.2
LM3754 SOFT-START
The LM3754 evaluation board is configured such that VOUT follows the SS signal, which is set by C12
and an internal 10 μA current source. This allows the LM3754 to operate on its own, with a single power
supply connected to VIN.
3.3
OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLE
Output voltage ripple measurement should be taken directly across the output capacitor C66 between
terminals TP3 and TP4. Care must be taken to minimize the loop area between the scope probe tip and
the ground lead in order to minimize noise in the measurement. This can be achieved by removing the
probe’s spring tip and ground lead and then wrap a bare wire around the scope probe shaft. The bare wire
should be in contact with the probe shaft since this is the ground lead for the probe. The measurement
can be taken by connecting the bare wire onto the ground side of the capacitor and the probe tip onto the
positive side of the capacitor. Figure 2 shows a diagram of this measurement technique.

EXTERNAL CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
A SYNCIN terminal has been provided on the evaluation board in order to synchronize the converter to an
external clock or other fixed frequency signal from 225 kHz to 375 kHz. Refer to the LM3753/54 datasheet
for complete information.
3.5
POWER GOOD
A PGOOD terminal provides monitoring of the Power Good signal. When PGOOD is high at VCC1, the
output voltage is within the Power Good window.
3.6
MARGIN
A MARGIN terminal has been provided on the evaluation board in order to adjust the output voltage by
±5%. Shorting the MARGIN terminal to GND will adjust the output up 5%. Shorting the MARGIN terminal
to VOUT will adjust the output down 5%.
3.7
DCR and RESISTOR SENSE
The LM3753/54 is delivered with the resistor sense option selected. To configure the board for DCR
(Inductor DC Resistance) sensing, remove J1, J3, J5 and J7. Turn the current limit trimmers R18 and R26
fully counter-clockwise for the lower DC resistance. Short the power connections J2, J4, J6 and J8. Holes
for the power jumpers will accommodate #14 AWG or 2 x #18 AWG solid copper wires. #2-56 hardware
may also be used for the power connections. Due to the tight spacing, stagger the screws and nuts on the
top and bottom; wrap #18 AWG solid copper wire around the hardware on the top side and tighten. Take
care to avoid damaging adjacent components, particularly Q14-Q17 on the bottom side. Brass jumpers
such as those used on terminal blocks should be avoided since the resistance is four times that of copper.
3.8
LOAD PULSE GENERATOR
An on-board load pulse generator allows for easy evaluation of the output voltage transient response. The
LPI (Load Pulse In) and LPO (Load Pulse Out) terminals provide the interface to the load pulse generator.
Setting SW1 to EXT connects LPI to LPO, which then allows the load pulse generator to be driven by LPI
with an external 5V logic signal. Setting SW1 to INT allows the load pulse generator to be driven with an
internally generated 1 ms pulse at 5% duty cycle.
J9 selects the amount of load. With J9 open, Load Branch 1 is engaged to draw 1.2V / 0.05Ω = 24A. With
J9 shorted, Load Branch 1 and Load Branch 2 are engaged to draw 1.2V / 0.025Ω = 48A. TP41 through
TP44 provide monitoring of the load step.

Typical Performance Characteristics
www.ti.com
R59, C61 and the gate impedance of Q14-Q17 set the slew rate. With J9 open, R59 = 51Ω and C61 =
0.01 μF, the slew rate is 24A / 1 μs. With J9 open, R59 = 51Ω and C61 open, the slew rate is 24A / 200
ns. Results are shown in the Section 4.
3.9
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
An LM26LV provides over temperature protection should the PC board exceed 105°C. This shuts down
switching by pulling the /FAULT bus low. Normal operation resumes when the board cools below 100°C. A
VTEMP terminal provides an analog voltage which is inversely proportional to temperature. Refer to the
LM26LV datasheet for complete design information.
3.10 VCC1, VCC2 and VDD
The VCC and VDD terminals provide monitoring points for the on-board voltages. For the evaluation
board, VDD is generated by an NPN linear regulator controlled by the LM3753/54. To demonstrate the
maximum power stage efficiency, a 5V current limited external supply may be used for VDD. Extreme
care must be exercised when applying an external voltage to the VDD terminal. Under no
circumstances should a voltage be applied to VDD while VIN < 5V, as damage to the LM3753/54
will occur. To protect U1 and U2, the circuit may be modified by placing small Schottky diodes in series
with R2 and R16 to block the reverse voltage. Refer to the LM3753/54 datasheet for complete circuit
design information.
3.11 ACTIVE LOADS
Many constant-current types of active loads can exhibit an initial short circuit, which is sustained well
beyond the normal soft-start cycle. To avoid current limit during startup, wait until the output voltage is up
before turning on the load. Using an active load with a constant-resistance mode will avoid this startup
timing issue.

documentation (collectively, an “EVM” or “EVMs”) to the User (“User”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Acceptance of the EVM is expressly subject to the following terms and conditions.
1.1 EVMs are intended solely for product or software developers for use in a research and development setting to facilitate feasibility
evaluation, experimentation, or scientific analysis of TI semiconductors products. EVMs have no direct function and are not
finished products. EVMs shall not be directly or indirectly assembled as a part or subassembly in any finished product. For
clarification, any software or software tools provided with the EVM (“Software”) shall not be subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein but rather shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions that accompany such Software
1.2 EVMs are not intended for consumer or household use. EVMs may not be sold, sublicensed, leased, rented, loaned, assigned,
or otherwise distributed for commercial purposes by Users, in whole or in part, or used in any finished product or production
system.

Limited Warranty and Related Remedies/Disclaimers:
2.1 These terms and conditions do not apply to Software. The warranty, if any, for Software is covered in the applicable Software
License Agreement.
2.2 TI warrants that the TI EVM will conform to TI's published specifications for ninety (90) days after the date TI delivers such EVM
to User. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TI shall not be liable for any defects that are caused by neglect, misuse or mistreatment
by an entity other than TI, including improper installation or testing, or for any EVMs that have been altered or modified in any
way by an entity other than TI. Moreover, TI shall not be liable for any defects that result from User's design, specifications or
instructions for such EVMs. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary or as
mandated by government requirements. TI does not test all parameters of each EVM.
2.3 If any EVM fails to conform to the warranty set forth above, TI's sole liability shall be at its option to repair or replace such EVM,
or credit User's account for such EVM. TI's liability under this warranty shall be limited to EVMs that are returned during the
warranty period to the address designated by TI and that are determined by TI not to conform to such warranty. If TI elects to
repair or replace such EVM, TI shall have a reasonable time to repair such EVM or provide replacements. Repaired EVMs shall
be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. Replaced EVMs shall be warranted for a new full ninety (90) day
warranty period.
