Texas Instruments LMR38020

Description

The LMR38020EVM is a 80 V DC/DC buck regulator that employs synchronous rectification to achieve high conversion efficiency in a small footprint. The EVM operates over a wide input voltage range of 6 V to 80 V to provide a regulated 5 V output at 400 kHz switching frequency. The output voltage has better than 1.5% setpoint accuracy and is adjustable using an external resistor divider. The module design uses the LMR38020F synchronous buck converter with wide input voltage (wide VIN) range, wide duty-cycle range, integrated highside and low-side power MOSFETs, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, and precision enable. The LMR38020 converter is available in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ package to enable high density, low component count DC/DC solutions. The LMR38020EVM evaluation module is qualified for the LMR38020 as well as the LMR38020-Q1 buck converter.
