EVQ4315-R-01A
45V, 5A, Low-IQ, Synchronous Step-Down
Converter with Frequency Spread Spectrum
Evaluation Board, AEC-Q100 Qualified
DESCRIPTION
The EVQ4315-R-01A evaluation board is
designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the
MPQ4315, a synchronous, step-down switching
converter with a configurable frequency and
integrated, internal high-side MOSFET (HSFET) and low-side MOSFET (LS-FET). It
provides up to 5A of highly efficient output
current (IOUT), with current mode control for fast
loop response.
by scaling down the switching frequency (fSW)
under light-load conditions to reduce the
switching and gate driver losses.
Frequency foldback helps prevent inductor
current runaway during start-up. Thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault-tolerant
operation. High duty cycle and low-dropout
(LDO) mode are provided for automotive cold
crank conditions.
The wide 3.3V to 45V input voltage (VIN) range
accommodates a variety of step-down
applications in automotive input environments.
A 1.7μA quiescent current (IQ) in shutdown
mode allows the device to be used in batterypowered applications. High power conversion
efficiency across a wide load range is achieved
The EVQ4315-R-01A is fully assembled and
tested. The MPQ4315 is available in a QFN-20
(4mmx4mm) wettable flank package, and is
AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Specifications are at TA = 25°C, unless otherwise noted.

EVQ4315-R-01A – 45V/5A, STEP-DOWN CONVERTER EVAL BOARD, AEC-Q100
QUICK START GUIDE
1. Preset the power supply (VIN) between 3.3V and 45V. Electronic loads represent a negative
impedance to the regulator, and setting a current too high triggers hiccup mode.
2. Turn off VIN. If longer cables are used between the source and the evaluation board (>0.5m total),
then install a damping capacitor at the input terminals, especially if VIN ≥ 24V.
3. Connect the power supply terminals to (see Figure 2 on page 3):
a. Positive (+): VEMI
b. Negative (-): GND
4. Connect the load terminals to (see Figure 2 on page 3):
a. Positive (+): VOUT
b. Negative (-): GND
5. After making the connections, turn on the power supply. The board should automatically start up.
6. To use the enable function, apply a digital input to the EN pin. Drive EN above 1V to turn the
regulator on; drive EN below 0.85V to turn the regulator off.
fSW (kHz)
Fsw (kHz)
7. The MPQ4315’s oscillating (switching) frequency can be configured by an external frequency
resistor (R3). R3 can be estimated based on the switching frequency (fSW) vs. frequency resistance
(RFREQ) curve (see Figure 1).

8. To use the sync function, apply a 350kHz to 1000kHz external clock to the SYNCIN pin to
synchronize the internal clock’s rising edge.
9. The output voltage (VOUT) is set by the external resistor divider. If R7 = 100kΩ, then R8 can be
calculated using Equation (1):
R8 =
