EVQ4573-QB-00A
60V, 2.5A, High-Efficiency, Synchronous
Buck Converter Evaluation Board, AEC-Q100
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EVQ4573-QB-00A is an evaluation board
designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the
MPQ4573-AEC1, a fully integrated, fixedfrequency, synchronous step-down converter. It
can achieve up to 2.5A of continuous output
current (IOUT) with peak current control for
excellent transient response.
Advanced asynchronous modulation (AAM)
mode achieves high efficiency under light-load
conditions by scaling down the frequency to
reduce switching and gate driver losses.
The EVQ4573-QB-00A is a fully assembled and
tested evaluation board that generates up to 5V
of output voltage (VOUT) and up to 2.5A of load
current across a wide 5V to 60V input voltage
range.
The MPQ4573-AEC1 is available in a QFN-12
(2.5mmx3mm) package.

QUICK START GUIDE
1. Preset the power supply between 5V and 60V. Be aware that electronic loads represent a negative
impedance to the converter, which can trigger hiccup mode if the current exceeds 3.9A.
2. Turn off the power supply. If longer cables (>0.5m total) are being used between the source and the
evaluation board, install a damping capacitor at the input terminals. This is critical when VIN exceeds
24V.
3. Connect the power supply terminals to:
a. Positive (+): VEMI
b. Negative (-): GND
4. Connect the load terminals to:
a. Positive (+): VOUT
b. Negative (-): GND
5. After making the connections, turn on the power supply. The board should start up automatically.
6. To use the enable (EN) function, apply a digital input to the EN pin. Drive EN above 1.45V to turn
the converter on; drive EN below 1.12V to turn it off.
7. An external frequency resistor (RFREQ) sets the switching frequency (fSW). RFREQ can be estimated
with Equation (1):
R FREQ (MΩ)
30
fSW (kHz)
(1)
A bench test may be required to fine-tune the calculated resistance.
8. An external feedback resistor divider (R6 + R4) sets the output voltage (VOUT). R6 + R4 also sets
the loop bandwidth via an internal compensation capacitor. Choose R4 to be about 40kΩ. Then R5
can be calculated with Equation (2):
