EVQ4572-QB-00A
60V, 2A, High-Efficiency, Synchronous
Buck Converter Evaluation Board
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EVQ4572-QB-00A evaluation board is
designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the
MPQ4572/MPQ4572-AEC1.
The MPQ4572/MPQ4572-AEC1 is a fully
integrated, fixed-frequency, synchronous stepdown converter. It can achieve up to 2A of
continuous output current with peak current
control for excellent transient response.
The
MPQ4572/MPQ4572-AEC1
employs
advanced asynchronous mode (AAM) which
helps to achieve high efficiency under light-load
conditions by scaling down the switching
frequency to reduce the switching and gate
driving losses.
The EVQ4572-QB-00A is a fully assembled and
tested evaluation board. It generates a 5V
output voltage and load currents up to 2A from
a 5V to 60V input range.

EVQ4572-QB-00A – 60V/2A BUCK CONVERTER EVALUATION BOARD
QUICK START GUIDE
1. Preset the power supply (VIN) between to 5V and 60V.
Electronic loads represent a negative impedance to the regulator. If the current is too high, hiccup
mode will be triggered.
2. Turn the power supply off.
If longer cables are used between the source and the EVB (>0.5m total), install a damping capacitor
at the input terminals. This is especially critical when VIN exceeds 24V.
3. Connect the power supply terminals to:
a) Positive (+): VEMI
b)
Negative (-): GND
4. Connect the load to:
a) Positive (+): VOUT
b)
Negative (-): GND
5. Turn the power supply on after making the connections.
6. To use the enable function, apply a digital input to the EN pin. Drive EN above 1.45V to turn the
regulator on; drive EN below 1.12V to turn it off.
7. The oscillating frequency of the MPQ4572/MPQ4572-AEC1 can be configured with an external
frequency resistor (RFREQ). RFREQ can be estimated with Equation (1):
RFREQ (MΩ)
30
fSW (kHz)
(1)
The calculated resistance may need fine-tuning via bench testing.
8. The output voltage is set by the external resistor divider. The feedback resistor (R6 + R4) also sets
the feedback loop bandwidth with the internal compensation capacitor. Choose R4 to be around
40kΩ. Then R5 can be calculated with Equation (2):
