Introduction
Introduction
The MxL7225-1 evaluation board provides a platform to evaluate the features and performance of the MxL7225-1. The
MxL7225-1 is a dual 25A Power Module optimized for powering Telecom, Networking and Industrial equipment. There are
multiple EVBs for the MxL7225. This manual covers the Evaluation Board for the MxL7225-1 25A Dual Phase Module with
external compensation.
Quick EVB Set Up and Start Up
Factory Settings
In addition to utilizing the 4.5V to 15V input voltage range and dual 25A maximum load current rating capabilities of the
MxL7225-1 Power Module, the Evaluation Board has been set up with the factory default configurations shown below for
quick set up and operation. Do not exceed the EVB maximum load current rating.
The factory default configuration (Table 2) for the MxL7225-1 Evaluation Board is:
■
■
■
■
■
VOUT1 = 1.5V ±1.5%
VOUT2 = 1.0V ±1.5%
■
500kHz Switching Frequency
CCM mode. For other modes, see Jumper J44 MODE.
■
Run is enabled for both channels. See Jumpers J30
RUN1 and J29 RUN2.
Soft-start is selected for both channels. See Jumper
J26 TRACK1 SEL and Jumper J25 TRACK2 SEL.
CLKOUT phase is 90 degrees, see Jumper J45
PHASMD.
Quick Start Up
VOUT2_GND (J61) to monitor VOUT2 and GND
respectively. See locations in Figure 1.
To quickly see the regulator in operation:
1. Use the factory settings and default configuration. If
other settings or components are desired, apply them
before the next steps and see Set-Up Options for more.
2. Connect a turned-off power supply that is within a VIN
specification of 4.5V to 15V, (12V typical) to VIN and
GND with short, thick leads. Use test pins VIN+ and
VIN- to monitor VIN and GND respectively. See
locations in Figure 1.
3. For the channel 1 output, connect an electronic load
initially set to 0A, that will be no more than the above
maximum IOUT (25A ), to VOUT1 and GND with short /
thick leads. Use test pins VOUT1 (J52) and
VOUT1_GND (J60) to monitor VOUT1 and GND
respectively. See locations in Figure 1.
4. For the channel 2 output, connect an electronic load
initially set to 0A, that will be no more than the above
maximum IOUT (25A ), to VOUT2 and GND with short,
thick leads. Use test pins VOUT2 (J53) and
10/21/20
5. Turn on the power supply and check VOUT of both
channels. The EVB will power up and (factory default)
regulate the channel 1 output at 1.5V ±1.5% (1.4775V
to 1.5225V) and channel 2 output at 1.0V ±1.5%
(0.985V to 1.015V). Output ripple should be measured
across the output capacitors for each channel: C8 for
VOUT1 and C22 for VOUT2. Test points J52 and J53
can be used to monitor VOUT1 and VOUT2,
respectively.
6. Set or vary the load (do not exceed the maximum IOUT)
and check VOUT and other desired performance levels
such as regulation and efficiency.
See Configuration and I/O Interfaces and Load Transient
Circuit for more on testing and monitoring. For Single Rail
Dual Phase 50A Operation and to vary VOUT see
MxL7225-1 EVB Mode Selection.

Load Transient Circuit
A load transient circuit is provided to allow optional testing of load transients. The IOSTEP clock input is used to drive the
transient signal. The load step generated by the FET (Q1) is very fast; the step slew rate is >40A/µs for a 12.5A transient
load test case.
To measure load transient response for either channel, use the circuit shown in Figure 4. To test CH1, populate R56 and
depopulate R57 and apply a small duty cycle pule signal to IOSTEP CLK input (~ 1%). Adjust the amplitude of the IOSTEP CLK
pulse to set the load current. Start at a pulse amplitude of 2V and increase while monitoring the IOSTEP (J59) voltage. The
load current at IOSTEP (J59) is 10mV/A. For an example, a 12.5mA load will occur when a 125mV pulse is observed at J59.
To test load transient response on CH2, depopulate R56 and populate R57 and repeat procedure.
