EN5329QI 2A Synchronous DC/DC Converter
Evaluation Board User Guide
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Enpirion, the source for ultra small foot print power converter
products that offer true ease of design with no compromise on performance. This
evaluation board user guide applies to the EN5329 devices mounted on PCB’s with the
part number 08251 rev A on the backside. This user guide should be used together with
the latest device datasheet. The datasheet can be found at www.enpirion.com.
Following are the features of this evaluation board.

Populated with one EN5329QI 2A PowerSoC with integrated inductor.
Pre-tinned pads are available for a wide range of input and output capacitor
configurations.
There are four positions available for the output capacitors. The first position,
closest to the IC, can accommodate a 1206, 0805, or 0603 case size while the
other three positions can accommodate either 0805 or 0603 capacitor case
sizes.
The base output capacitor configuration is 2 x 22uF 0603 MLCC. Refer to the
product datasheet for output capacitor requirements.
There are two positions for the input capacitors. The first position, closest to the
IC, can accommodate an 0805 or 0603 case size while the other position can
accommodate an 0805 case size. The base input capacitor configuration is a
single 22uF 0805 MLCC. Refer to the product datasheet for input capacitor
requirements.
Output voltage programming is accomplished via a simple resistor divider.
Jumpers are provided for 4 pre-configured output settings. These settings are as
follows:
• 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V
Easy jumpers are provided for the following signals:
• Enable
Numerous test points are provided as well as clip leads for input and output
connections
The board comes with input decoupling and reverse polarity protection.

Quick Start Guide
Figure 1 shows a photograph of the evaluation board. Please refer to this figure while
configuring the board for evaluation.
STEP 1: Set the “ENABLE” jumper to the Disable Position.
ENABLE
DISABLE
STEP 2: Select the desired VOUT voltage setting by placing the jumper J2 on the
correct jumper pin. Figure below shows the VOUT jumper options and their
nominal voltages. Note that depending on the tolerance of the resistors
populated on the board, each output voltage setting may have a larger
tolerance than just the VFB pin as specified in the datasheet. Please see
Figure 3 and the Bill of Materials section. Multiple jumpers can be populated to
get other output voltages not listed below. With the resistors shown below, if all
4 jumper positions are populated, the output voltage will be approximately
3.7V. Note that for any VOUT higher than 3.3V, the output capacitors need to
be changed to 2 x 22uF/0805.
CAUTION: the VOUT jumper settings can only be changed when the device is
off. Failure to follow this guideline may result in damage to the part.
Please note: The loop compensation circuit for this evaluation board has been
chosen for a wide range of VIN and VOUT values. In order to optimize the loop for
any specific VIN/VOUT operating point, please see the compensation table in the
datasheet. See Figures 1 and 3.

STEP 3: Connect a Power Supply to the input power connectors, VIN (J4) and GND
(J5). DO NOT turn the power supply on yet.
CAUTION: Be mindful of the input voltage magnitude and polarity. Even though
the evaluation board comes with reverse polarity protection diodes, it may not
protect the device under all conditions.
STEP 4: Connect an electronic load, or load board to the load to the output connectors
VOUT (J6) and GND (J7).
STEP 5: Turn on the input supply, and move the ENABLE jumper to the enabled
position. The EN5329QI is now powered up.

Test Recommendations
To guarantee measurement accuracy, the following precautions should be observed:
Make all input and output voltage measurements at the board using the test
points provided (TP5 to TP8). This will eliminate voltage drop across the line and
load cables that can produce false readings.
Measure input and output current with series ammeters or accurate shunt
resistors. This is especially important when measuring efficiency.
Use a low-loop-inductance scope probe tip similar to the one shown in Figure 2
to measure switching signals and input / output ripple to avoid noise coupling into
the probe ground lead. Input ripple, output ripple, and load transient deviation are
best measured near the respective input / output capacitors. For more accurate
ripple measurement, please see Enpirion App Note regarding this subject.
Figure 2. Recommended probe configuration.
If you need to measure radiated EMI, place a 10uF/0805, X7R capacitor at the
input and output edges of the PCB (C13 and C14 positions), and connect the
PVIN power and the load to the board at or near these capacitors. The added
capacitor at the input edge is for high-frequency decoupling of the input cables.
The one added at the output edge is meant to represent a typical load decoupling
capacitor.
