AN-2065 LM5119 Evaluation Board
1
Introduction
The LM5119EVAL evaluation board provides the design engineer with a fully functional dual output buck
converter, employing the LM5119 Dual Emulated Current Mode Synchronous Buck Controller. The
evaluation board is designed to provide both 10V and 5V outputs over an input range of 14V to 55V. Also
the evaluation board can be easily configured for a single 10V, 8A regulator.

Powering and Loading Consideration
When applying power to the LM5119 evaluation board, certain precautions need to be followed. A
misconnection can damage the assembly.
3.1
Proper Board Connection
The input connections are made to the J1 (VIN) and J2 (RTN/GND) connectors. The CH1 load is
connected to the J3 (OUT1+) and J4 (OUT1-/GND) and the CH2 load is connected to the J6 (OUT2+) and
J5 (OUT2-/GND). Be sure to choose the correct connector and wire size when attaching the source power
supply and the load.
3.2
Source Power
The power supply and cabling must present low impedance to the evaluation board. Insufficient cabling or
a high impedance power supply will droop during power supply application with the evaluation board
inrush current. If large enough, this droop will cause a chattering condition during power up. During power
down, insufficient cabling or a high impedance power supply will overshoot. This overshoot will cause a
non-monotonic decay on the output.
An additional external bulk input capacitor may be required unless the output voltage droop/overshoot of
the source power is less than 0.7V. In this board design, UVLO setting is conservative while UVLO
hysteresis setting is aggressive. Minimum input voltage can goes down with an aggressive design.
Minimum operating input voltage depends on the output voltage droop/overshoot of the source power
supply and the forced off-time of the LM5119. For complete design information, see the LM5119/LM5119Q
Wide Input Range Dual Synchronous Buck Controller Data Sheet (SNVS676).

Powering and Loading Consideration
3.3

Loading
When using an electronic load, it is strongly recommended to power up the evaluation board at light load
and then slowly increase the load. If it is desired to power up the evaluation board at maximum load,
resistor banks must be used. In general, electronic loads are best suited for monitoring steady state
waveforms.
3.4
Air Flow
Prolonged operation with high input voltage at full power will cause the MOSFETs to overheat. A fan with
a minimum of 200LFM should be always provided.
Figure 1. Typical Evaluation Setup
3.5
Quick Start-Up Procedure
1. Set the power supply current limit to at least 16A. Connect the power supply to J1 and J2.
2. Connect one load with a 4A capacity between J3 and J4. Connect another load with an 8A capacity
between J6 and J5.
3. Set input voltage to 24V and turn it on.
4. Measure the output voltages. CH1 should regulate at 10V and CH2 should regulate at 5V.
5. Slowly increase the load current while monitoring the output voltages. The outputs should remain in
regulation up to full load current.
6. Slowly sweep the input voltage from 14V to 55V while monitoring the output voltages. The outputs
should remain in regulation.

Soft Start
When applying power to the LM5119 evaluation board a certain sequence of events occurs. Soft-start
capacitors and other components allow for a linear increase in output voltages. The soft-start time of each
output can be controlled independently. Figure 2 shows the output voltage during a typical start-up with a
load of 3Ω on the 10V output, and 1Ω on the 5V output, respectively.

Input Voltage = 24VDC

Board Configuration
6.1
Interleaved Buck Operation for Single 10V 8A Output
The evaluation board is designed to be easily converted to a 10V, 8A single output regulator with the
interleaved operation. Proper electronic load connection is shown in Figure 8. Connecting the electronic
load at the center of shorting bar is recommended to prevent a voltage difference between CH1 and CH2
output. In order to produce a single 10V output with 8A maximum output current, populate R21 and R22
with 0Ω resistor and open R6, C15 and C14. The electronic load should have over 8A capability to test the
interleaved operation.
Figure 8. Load Connection for Single Output
6.2
External VCC Supply and VCC Disable
External VCC supply helps to reduce the temperature and the power loss of the LM5119 at high input
voltage. By populating D3 and D4, VCC can be supplied from an external power supply. Use TP3 as an
input of the external VCC supply with 0.1A current limit. R36, R35 and C45 should be populated with
proper value when the voltage of the external VCC is smaller than 7V. The voltage at the VCCDIS pin can
be monitored at TP2. To prevent a reverse current flow from VCC to VIN through the internal diode, the
external VCC voltage should always be lower than VIN. In this LM5119 evaluation board, VCC1 and
VCC2 are supplied from the 10V output to achieve high efficiency.
