LM5122EVM-1PH Evaluation Module
1
Introduction
The LM5122EVM-1PH evaluation module (EVM) provides the design engineer with a fully functional
synchronous boost converter to evaluate the Texas Instruments LM5122 synchronous boost controller IC.
The EVM provides 24V output at up to 4.5A current from a 9V to 20V input. The EVM is designed to start
up from a single power supply without any additional bias voltage.

LM5122EVM-1PH’s light load operation can be configured as one of Forced PWM, Skip Cycle or Pulse
Skip mode by J1 jumper setting. By placing a jumper shunt on pin 1 and 2, the converter operates in
Forced FPWM mode. By placing the jumper shunt on pin 3 and 4, the converter operates in Pulse Skip
mode. Skip cycle operation is enabled by not placing any jumper on J1.

Precaution & Wire Gauge
Prolonged operation with low input voltage at full power will cause heating of the MOSFETs. A fan with a
minimum of 200LFM should be always provided. Wire gauge for the input power supply should be 10
AWG minimum and no longer than 1 foot each for VIN and GND.
Wire gauge for the output electronic load should be 14 AWG minimum and no longer than 1 foot each for
VOUT and GND.
5.2
Test Setup
5.2.1
Power Supply
Connect the power supply’s positive terminal (+) to ‘A’ terminal of ampere meter and negative terminal (-)
to TP3 GND. Connect the power supply’s positive remote sense terminal to TP1 VIN and negative remote
sense terminal to TP3 GND.
5.2.2
Meter
Connect ‘COM’ terminal of ampere meter to TP1 VIN. Double check ‘A’ terminal is connected to the power
supply’s positive terminal.
Voltage meter is used to measure output voltage. Connect positive terminal (V) of the voltage meter to
TP2 VOUT and negative terminal (COM) of the voltage meter to TP4 GND.
5.2.3
Load
Connect electronic load’s positive terminal (+) to TP2 VOUT and negative terminal (-) to TP4 GND.

Single Output Dual Phase Configuration
Two LM5122EVM-1PH evaluation boards can be easily configured as a single-output dual-phase
interleaved boost converter following the four steps listed below:
1. Remove C19, C25, C26, R25, R26, R27, R28, R30, and R32 on the slave board.
2. Populate 0Ω resistors (R24 and R31) on the slave board.
3. Populate J2 on both master and slave boards.
4. Connect J2 on the master board and J2 on the slave board together using a flat cable.

changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
