AN-1956 LM5001 Boost Evaluation Board
1
Introduction
The LM5001 boost evaluation board is designed to provide the design engineer with a fully functional
power converter based on the boost topology to evaluate the LM5001 high voltage switch mode regulator.
The performance of the evaluation board is as follows:
Input Operating Range: 16 to 36V
Output Voltage: 48V
Output Current: 0 to 150 mA
Measured Efficiency: 91% @ 150 mA, 86% @ 75 mA
Frequency of Operation: 240 kHz
Board Size: 1.75 X 1.75 inches
Load Regulation: 1%
Line Regulation: 0.1%
The printed circuit board consists of 2 layers; 1 ounce copper layers FR4 material with a total thickness of
0.062 inches.
When laying out the PCB note the proximity of the ground pin (pin 4) to the output capacitors (see the
schematic in Section 2). Placing the ground pin near the output capacitor will minimize the ripple in the
output by forcing a constant current to flow across the board for both the switch on and switch off portions
of the cycle. If the board is laid out with the ground pin near the input capacitor then a high di/dt condition
will occur due to the small conduction loop area during the switch on time and large loop conduction area
during the switch off time. The output ripple and noise will be minimized if the conduction loop area and
current both remain constant. Placing the ground pin near the output capacitor accomplishes this goal.

Powering and Loading Considerations

Powering and Loading Considerations
When applying power to the LM5001 Boost evaluation board certain precautions need to be followed. A
misconnection can damage the board.
3.1
Proper Connections
When operated at low input voltages the evaluation board can draw up to 500mA of current at full load.
The maximum rated output current is 150mA. Be sure to choose the correct connector and wire size when
attaching the source supply and the load. Monitor the current into and out of the evaluation board. Monitor
the voltage directly at the output terminals of the evaluation board. The voltage drop across the load
connecting wires will give inaccurate measurements. This is especially true for accurate efficiency
measurements. When measuring output ripple with an oscilloscope. Do not use the wire ground lead for
the ground connection. The loop formed by the wire lead will pick up noise from the switching circuits and
make the ripple voltage look larger then it actually is. Instead use a spring ground clip on the exposed
ground ring on the scope probe to minimize the loop area of the ground lead. An alternative is to remove
the shroud covering the scope probe. Then touch the exposed scope probe ground connection to the
output ground terminal while simultaneously connecting the probe tip to the output terminal.
3.2
Source Power
The power supply and cabling must look like a low impedance voltage source to the evaluation board.
High inductance power supply leads like the type typically used for bench power supplies, could cause the
LM5001 to become unstable or have poor response to load transients. This is due to the inductance of the
power supply wiring interacting with the evaluation board input capacitor and causing a series resonant LC
oscillation at a frequency defined by the inductance of the input wiring and the value of the input capacitor.
In some cases it may be necessary to add an additional capacitor in parallel with input capacitor to move
the resonate frequency away from the unity gain crossover frequency of the LM5001. Twisting the input
supply lines together will reduce the inductance and potential for problems. Powering up at max rated
voltage or close to this voltage can cause damage due to the inductance of the supply lines. Over shoot
and ringing can be several volts under a sudden application of power. When operating near maximum
input voltage slowly ramp up the voltage to avoid overshoot.
3.3
Loading
An appropriate electronic load, with specified operation up to 48V maximum or more, is desirable. Monitor
both current and voltage at all times. Ensure there is sufficient cooling provided for the load.
3.4
Over Current Protection
The LM5001 monitors the peak current through the inductor on a cycle by cycle basis. If the inductor is
sized large enough to not saturate when operating at peak current limit. Then the short circuit can be left
on indefinitely with out damaging the device or causing it to go into thermal shutdown.
