Buck Regulator Evaluation
Board User's Manual

Description
The NCV890201 demonstration board provides a convenient way to
evaluate a high-frequency buck converter design. 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; and the board also provides a synchronization
output, enabling it to be used as a master. It is configured for a 3.3 V
output with a 2 MHz switching frequency and a 2.0 A maximum
output current, over the typical 4.5 V to 18 V automotive input voltage
range. In addition, the board regulates up to 36 V thanks to switching
frequency foldback.

Operational Guidelines
1. Connect a dc input voltage, within the 4.5 V to 36 V range, between VIN and GND
2. Connect a load between VOUT and GND
3. Connect a dc enable voltage, within the 4.5 V to 36 V range, between EN and GND
4. Optionally, for external clock synchronization, connect a pulse source between SYNCI and GND. The high state level
should be within the 2 to 6 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 1.8 to 2.5 MHz range.
