Rev. 2.0.0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EVALUATION BOARD MANUAL
The EXAR XRP76XX Evaluation kit is a fully
assembled and tested surface-mount PCB that
demonstrates
the
XRP7664,
XRP7665,
XRP7674 and XRP7675 synchronous buck
regulators.
The
current-mode
switching
regulator generates a preset 3.3V output with
a load of up to 2A (XRP7664, XRP7674) and
3A (XRP7665, XRP7675).
The EVB kit requires a single input voltage VIN
source if EN is tied to VIN via jumper J1
(default setting as supplied from EXAR). If J1
is set to EN=EXT position then a logic-level
signal is required at EN pin in order to turn the
regulator on and off.
FEATURES
• 2A/3A Continuous Output Current
• 4.5V to 18V Wide Input Voltage
STANDARD CONFIGURATION
• PWM Current-Mode Control
The
XRP76XXEVB
evaluation
board
is
configured to operate under the following
conditions and parameters:
• Input voltage range:
• Output voltage range:
• Output current/load range:
• Adjustable Output Voltage

PIN DESCRIPTION
Name
Pin Number
Description
BS
1
Bootstrap pin. Connect a 0.01uF or larger bootstrap capacitor between the BS pin and
the SW pin. The voltage across the bootstrap capacitor drives the internal high-side
power MOSFET.
IN
2
Supply input pin. A capacitor should be connected between the IN pin and GND pin to
keep the input voltage constant.
SW
3
Power switch output pin. This pin is connected to the inductor and the bootstrap
capacitor.
GND
4
Ground pin.
FB
5
Feedback pin. An external resistor divider connected to FB programs the output voltage.
If the feedback pin exceeds 1.1V the over-voltage protection will trigger. If the
feedback voltage drops below 0.3V the oscillator frequency is lowered to short-circuit
protection.
COMP
6
Compensation pin. This is the output of transconductance error amplifier and the input
to the current comparator. It is used to compensate the control loop. Connect an RC
network form this pin to GND.
EN
7
Control input pin.
Drive EN high/low in order to turn on/off the regulator. When the IC is in shutdown
mode all functions are disabled to decrease the supply current below 0.1µA nominal.
SS
8
Soft-start control input pin. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start
period. A 0.1µF capacitor sets the soft start period to 15ms. To disable the soft-start
feature, leave SS unconnected.
ORDERING INFORMATION

XRP7664-65-74-75
2A/3A 18V Synchronous Step-Down Regulator, Constant frequency
(XRP7664-65), Light-Load efficiency (XRP7674-75)
supplied from EXAR with jumper set at leftside (position marked EN=VIN). This allows for
automatic startup of the XRP76XX regulator
when VIN is applied.
USING THE EVALUATION BOARD
INITIAL SETUP
Set the input supply to 12V and connect it to
VIN and GND connectors on the left side of the
evaluation board. Connect the load to the
VOUT and GND connectors at the right side of
the board. Check to make sure that jumper J1
is set to the left side (position marked
EN=VIN). The board will power up and
regulate the output at 3.3V upon turning on
the input supply. The XRP76XX should provide
nominal efficiency equal to figure 4 of the
datasheet.
SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Use an external resistor divider to set the
output voltage. Program the output voltage
from:
1
2
0.925
1
Where:
R1 is the resistor between VOUT and FB
JUMPER J1 FUNCTION
R2 is the resistor between FB and GND
(nominally 10kΩ)
Jumper J1 can be used to either connect EN to
VIN or allow an independent logic-level control
signal to be applied to EN. The board is
0.925V is the nominal feedback voltage.
