USING THE EVALUATION BOARD
1) Powering Up the SP6133EB Circuit
Connect the SP6133 Evaluation Board with an external +12V power supply. Connect
with short leads and large diameter wire directly to the “VIN” and “GND” posts. Connect
a Load between the “VOUT” and “GND2” posts, again using short leads with large
diameter wire to minimize inductance and voltage drops.
2) Measuring Output Load Characteristics
It’s best to GND reference scope and digital meters using the Star GND post in the
center of the board. VOUT ripple can best be seen touching probe tip to the pad for
COUT and scope GND collar touching Star GND post – avoid a GND lead on the scope
which will increase noise pickup.
3) Using the Evaluation Board with Different Output Voltages
While the SP6133 Evaluation Board has been tested and delivered with the output set
to 3.30V, by simply changing one resistor, R2, the SP6133 can be set to other output
voltages. The relationship in the following formula is based on a voltage divider from the
output to the feedback pin VFB, which is set to an internal reference voltage of 0.80V.
Standard 1% metal film resistors of surface mount size 0603 are recommended.
Vout = 0.80V ( R1 / R2 + 1 ) => R2 = R1 / [ ( Vout / 0.80V ) – 1 ]
Where R1 = 68.1KΩ and for Vout = 0.80V setting, simply remove R2 from the board.
Furthermore, one could select the value of R1 and R2 combination to meet the exact
output voltage setting by restricting R1 resistance range such that 50KΩ ≤ R1 ≤ 100KΩ
for overall system loop stability.
Note that since the SP6133 Evaluation Board design was optimized for 12V down
conversion to 3.30V, changes of output voltage and/or input voltage will alter
performance from the data given in the Power Supply Data section.
POWER SUPPLY DATA
The SP6133EB is designed with an accurate 1.5% reference over line, load and
temperature. Figure 1 data shows a typical SP6133ER Evaluation Board efficiency plot,
with efficiencies to 95% and output currents to 10A. SP6133ER Load Regulation in
Figure 2 shows only 0.09% change in output voltage from no load to 10A load. Figures
3 and 4 show the fast transient response of the SP6133. Start-up response in Figures 5,
6 and 7 show a controlled start-up with different output load behavior when power is
applied where the input current rises smoothly as the soft-start ramp increases. In
Figure 8 the hiccup mode gets activated in response to an output dead short circuit
condition and will soft-start until the over-load is removed. Figure 9 and 10 show output
voltage ripple less than 30mV over complete load range.
While data on individual power supply boards may vary, the capability of the SP6133ER
of achieving high accuracy over a range of load conditions shown here is quite
impressive and desirable for accurate power supply design.

LOOP COMPENSATION DESIGN
The open loop gain of the SP6133EB can be divided into the gain of the error amplifier
Gamp(s), PWM modulator Gpwm, buck converter output stage Gout(s), and feedback
resistor divider Gfbk. In order to cross over at the selected frequency fc, the gain of the
error amplifier must compensate for the attenuation caused by the rest of the loop at
this frequency. The goal of loop compensation is to manipulate the open loop frequency
response such that its gain crosses over 0dB at a slope of –20dB/dec.
The open loop crossover frequency should be higher than the ESR zero of the output
capacitors but less than 1/5 of the switching frequency fs to insure proper operation.
Since the SP6133EB is designed with ceramic type output capacitors, a Type III
compensation circuit is required to give a phase boost of 180° in order to counteract the
effects of the output LC under damped resonance double pole frequency.

The simple guidelines for positioning the poles and zeros and for calculating the
component values for Type III compensation are as follows:
R1 = 68.1K
R2 =
0.8 × R1
Vout − 0.8
(sets output voltage)

CZ 3 =
ZSF × R1 ×

(sets second high-frequency pole)
6.28 × fs × CZ 3
Where ZSF=(f compensation double zero)/(f circuit double pole)
Here ZSF is set at 0.7.
As a particular example, consider for the following SP6133EB, 10A MAX with
component selections for a type III Voltage Loop Compensation:
Vin = 12V
Vout = 3.30V @ 0 to 10A load
Select L = 2.7 uH => 30% current ripple.
Select Cout = 200uF 2x100uF Ceramic capacitors (Resr ≈ 2.5mΩ)
fs = 300KHz SP6133ER1 internal Oscillator Frequency
