LM22677 Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM22677 evaluation board is designed to demonstrate
the capabilities of the LM22677 switching regulator. The
LM22677 evaluation board schematic shown in
configured to provide an output voltage of 3.3V up to 5A load
current with an input voltage range of 4.5V to 42V. Due to the
low R
mum duty-cycle limitations, the minimum input voltage of 4.5V
will only provide a 3.3V output voltage for load currents up to
500 mA. At 5.5V input voltage 3A of output current is possible
while maintaining 3.3V of output voltage. For load currents
higher than 3A, an input voltage of 6.5V or higher is required.
The typical operating frequency is 500 kHz. The evaluation
board is designed to operate at ambient temperatures up to
30°C.

The performance of the evaluation board is as follows:
Input Range: 4.5V to 42V
Output Voltage: 3.3V
Output Current Range: 0A to 5A
Frequency of Operation: 500 kHz
Board Size: 2.25 X 2 inches (57 mm x 50.5 mm)
Package: TO-263 THIN
At low input voltages between 4.5V and 6V, a minimum load
of approximately 5 mA may be required to reach a regulated
3.3V output voltage. See the LM22677 datasheet for more
details.
To aid in the design and evaluation of DC/DC buck converter
solutions based on the LM22677 switching regulator, the
evaluation board can be re-configured for different output
voltages.
The evaluation board is designed to highlight applications
with a small solution size. This implies that there will be a
tradeoff with the area of heat dissipation available. If this eval-
uation board is operated continuously at a full 5A load, it will
get hot. For higher output voltages than the pre-adjusted
3.3V, the total output power as well as the total power con-
version losses will increase. It is recommended to use a fan
or other source of air flow when evaluating the board at full
5A load or at output voltages greater than 3.3V. Typical eval-
uation board performance and characteristics curves are
shown in
layout.
Test points are provided to enable easy connection and mon-
itoring of critical signals. When performing over load or short
circuit tests, refer to the current limit section of the LM22677
datasheet to determine if the circuit is in safe operating mode.
For more information about device function and electrical
characteristics, refer to the LM22677 datasheet.
