Connect with short leads and large diameter wire directly to the “VIN” and “GND” posts. Connect a Load between the “VOUT” and “GND2” posts, again using short leads with large diameter wire to minimize inductance and voltage drops. 2) Measuring Output Load Characteristics It’s best to GND reference scope and digital meters using the Star GND post in the center of the board. VOUT ripple can best be seen touching probe tip to the pad for COUT and scope ground collar touching Star GND post – avoid a ground lead on the probe which will increase noise pickup. 3) Using the Evaluation Board with Different Output Voltages While the SP6136ER1 Evaluation Board has been tested and delivered with the output set to 3.30V, by simply changing one resistor, R2, the SP6136ER1 can be set to other output voltages. The relationship in the following formula is based on a voltage divider from the output to the feedback pin VFB, which is set to an internal reference voltage of 0.80V. Standard 1% metal film resistors of surface mount size 0603 are recommended. Vout = 0.80V ( R1 / R2 + 1 ) => R2 = R1 / [ ( Vout / 0.80V ) – 1 ] Where R1 = 68.1KΩ and for Vout = 0.80V setting, simply remove R2 from the board. Furthermore, one could select the value of the R1 and R2 combination to meet the exact output voltage setting by restricting R1 resistance range such that 50KΩ ≤ R1 ≤ 100KΩ for overall system loop stability. Note that since the SP6136ER1 Evaluation Board design was optimized for 12V down conversion to 3.30V, changes of output voltage and/or input voltage may alter performance from the data given in the Power Supply Data section. POWER SUPPLY DATA The SP6136ER1 is designed with an accurate 1.5% reference over line, load and temperature. Figure 1 data shows a typical SP6136ER1 Evaluation Board efficiency plot, with efficiencies to 92% and output currents to 7A. Load Regulation in Figure 2 shows only 0.12% change in output voltage from no load to 7A. Figures 3 and 4 show the fast transient response. Start-up corresponding to different load conditions is shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7, where the input current rises smoothly as the soft-start ramp increases. In Figure 8 the hiccup mode gets activated in response to an output dead short circuit condition and will soft-start until the over-load is removed. Figure 9 and 10 show output voltage ripple less than 11mV over complete load range. While data on individual power supply boards may vary, the capability of the SP6136ER1 of achieving high accuracy over a range of load conditions shown here is quite impressive and desirable for accurate power supply design.

In order to crossover at the selected frequency fc, the gain of the error amplifier has to compensate for the attenuation caused by the rest of the loop at this frequency. The goal of loop compensation is to manipulate the open loop frequency response such that its gain crosses over 0dB at a slope of –20dB/dec. The open loop crossover frequency should be higher than the ESR zero of the output capacitors but less than 1/5 of the switching frequency fs to insure proper operation. Since the SP6136EB is designed with ceramic type output capacitors, a Type III compensation circuit is required to give a phase boost of 180° in order to counteract the effects of the output LC under damped resonance double pole frequency.

As a particular example, consider for the following SP6136EB, 7AMAX with a type III Voltage Loop Compensation component selections: Vin = 12V Vout = 3.30V @ 0 to 7A load Select L = 2.2 uH => 30% current ripple.
