XR76203/5/8
40V, 3/5/8A Synchronous Step Down COT Regulator
February 2015
Rev. 1A
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EVALUATION BOARD MANUAL
The XR76203, XR76205 and XR76208 are
synchronous step-down regulators combining the
controller, drivers, bootstrap diode and MOSFETs in
a single package for point-of-load supplies. The
XR76203, XR76205 and XR76208 have load current
ratings of 3A, 5A and 8A respectively. A wide5V to
40V input voltage range allows for single supply
operation from industry standard 24V ±10%, 18V36V, and rectified 18VAC and 24VAC rails.
With a proprietary emulated current mode Constant
On-Time (COT) control scheme, the XR76203,
XR76205 and XR76208 provide extremely fast line
and load transient response using ceramic output
capacitors. They require no loop compensation,
simplifying circuit implementation and reducing
overall component count. The control loop also
provides 0.07% load and 0.15% line regulation and
maintains constant operating frequency. A selectable
power saving mode allows the user to operate in
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light
current loads thereby significantly increasing the
converter efficiency.
A host of protection features, including over-current,
over-temperature, short-circuit and UVLO, helps
achieve safe operation under abnormal operating
conditions.
The XR76203/5/8 are available in a RoHS-compliant,
green/halogen-free space-saving QFN 5x5mm
package.

USING THE EVALUATION BOARD
JUMPER J1
POWERING UP
If the jumper is set to right side the regulator will
operate in “forced CCM”.
Connect the VIN+/VIN- with short/thick leads to
power supply. Use test pins T4 and T4 to monitor
VIN+ and VIN- respectively. Connect VOUT+/VOUTwith short/thick leads to an electronic load. Use test
pins T1 and T2 to monitor VOUT+ and VOUTrespectively. Apply 24V using the power supply. The
XR76203/5/8EVB should power up and regulate the
output at 3.3V. Input voltage range is from 5V to 40V.
Maximum rated current for XR76203/5/8 is 3/5/8A
respectively.
© 2015 Exar Corporation
If the Jumper is set to the left side the regulator will
operate in DCM at light load.
PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
VOUT can be programmed by changing R1 according
