Description
Key Features
This NCV8871 evaluation board provides a convenient
way to evaluate a high-frequency current-mode control
SEPIC converter design. The topology uses two inductors.
No additional components are required, other than dc
supplies for the input and enable voltages. An external clock
can be used to synchronize the switching frequency. The
output is rated 12 V / 2 A with a 170 KHz switching
frequency over the typical 6 V to 18 V automotive input
voltage range.

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
VIN, and will be less than 6 V when operating
below rated output current.
4. Optionally for external clock synchronization,
connect a pulse source between EN/SYNC and
GND. The high state level should be within the 2
to 5 V range, and the low state level within the
−0.3 V to 0.8 V range, with a minimum pulse
width of 40 ns and a frequency within the 170 and
1100 KHz range.
NOTE: The converter was designed for 170 KHz
12 V / 2 A continuous mode operation.
Operation beyond 170 KHz and/or at a different
output voltage may require modifications of
feedback loop component and inductor values.
1. Connect a DC input voltage, within the 6 V to
40 V range, between VIN and GND.
2. Connect a DC enable voltage, within the 2.0 V to
5.0 V range, between EN/SYNC and GND.
3. The evaluation board feedback components were
selected to for continuous operation at rated
12 V / 2 A output power at a minimum input
voltage of 6 V. The NCV887100 VIN has its
operational voltage diode-ored between the
converter output (12 V) and input voltages. The
converter turns-on typically at 6.7 V. Once
energized, the output voltage supplies power to the
IC when the battery voltage is below
(approximately) 11.5 V. The decreasing VIN
UVLO voltage depends on load current as well as
Vin
