AN-2136 LMZ13610/8/6 and LMZ12010/8/6 Demo Board
1
Introduction
The LMZ13610/8/6 and LMZ12010/8/6 SIMPLE SWITCHER® power modules are easy-to-use DC-DC
solution capable of driving up to a 10, 8 or 6 ampere load. They are available in an innovative package
that enhances thermal performance and allows for hand or machine soldering. The LMZ13610/8/6 can
accept an input voltage rail between 6V and 36V and the LMZ12010/8/6 can accept an input voltage rail
between 6V and 20V.
The demo board is highly configurable. The output voltage can be adjusted to 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V or 1.2V with
a jumper change. The external soft-start capacitor facilitates a controlled and adjustable startup rise time
of the output. The input voltage UVLO can also be adjusted by changing one resistor.
The LMZ13610 and LMZ12010 family is a reliable and robust solution with the following features: loss-less
cycle-by-cycle valley current limit to protect for over current or short-circuit fault, thermal shutdown, input
under-voltage lockout, and will start up into a pre-biased output.

Test Connections
The board should be connected to a power supply and load as shown below in Figure 2. The EN post is
connected to the UVLO circuit on the back of the board. There is a resistive divider implemented on the
board that can be used to establish a precision UVLO level for the board that is currently set to 5.7V. A
common user change to this circuit is to adjust the value of RENT and RENB to adjust the operating
UVLO to that of the target application. Refer to the respective data sheet for calculation. Note that if in the
end application the EN pin voltage does not exceed 5.5V at maximum Vin, then the enable clamp zener
D1 can be omitted. (On revision A of the board the overlay for the zener diode has the cathode and anode
incorrectly labeled) Pull EN low to shutdown the module.

Adjusting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the Demo board is adjusted to either 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.2V by moving jumper J1.
For other voltage options, see the datasheet for adjusting the feedback resistors.
6
Optional Components
The Demo board has many options for input and output filtering. CO1, CO2 and CO5 can installed with
47nF or greater ceramic capacitors to further decrease high frequency noise on the output. Similarly, CIN1,
and CIN6 can be installed with 47nF capacitors to provide further high frequency bypass for the input
current.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
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.
