DIODES AP63205QWU-EVM 32V 2A Synchronous DC-DC Buck Converter with

Enhanced EMI Reduction

Product Information

The AP63205QWU-EVM is a 32V, 2A synchronous DC-DC buck converter with enhanced EMI reduction. It features a wide input voltage range of 3.8V to 32V and integrates a 125m high-side power MOSFET and a 68m low-side power MOSFET for efficient step-down DC-DC conversion. The converter operates in peak current mode control and has an integrated compensation network, reducing the need for external components. It also incorporates Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) reduction through Frequency Spread Spectrum (FSS) technology. The AP63205QWU- EVM comes in a low-profile TSOT26 package and offers various protection circuitries, including undervoltage lockout (UVLO), cycle-by-cycle peak current limit, and thermal shutdown.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Connect a power supply to the input terminals VIN and GND on the evaluation board.
2. Set the input voltage (VIN) to 12V.
3. Connect the positive terminal of the electronic load to the VOUT terminal and the negative terminal to GND. Alternatively, use a multimeter with the positive and negative leads between VOUT and GND for measurement.
4. Set the load to 2A using the electronic load.
5. Observe the stable operation of the SW signal on the oscilloscope and measure the switching frequency.

DESCRIPTION

The AP63205Q is a 2A, synchronous buck converter with a wide input voltage range of 3.8V to 32V. It fully integrates a 125mΩ high-side power MOSFET and a 68mΩ low-side power MOSFET to provide high-efficiency step-down DC-DC conversion. The AP63205Q device is easily used by minimizing the external component count due to its adoption of peak current mode control along with its integrated compensation network. The AP63205Q is a fixed output buck converter with Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) reduction. The converter features Frequency Spread Spectrum (FSS) with a switching frequency jitter of ±6%, reducing EMI by not allowing emitted energy to stay in any one frequency for a significant period of time. It also has a proprietary gate driver scheme to resist switching node ringing without sacrificing MOSFET turn-on and turn- off times, which further reduces high-frequency radiated EMI noise caused by MOSFET switching. The device is available in a low-profile, TSOT26 package.

RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS

EVALUATION BOARD

QUICK START GUIDE

The AP63205QWU-EVM has a simple layout and allows access to the appropriate signals through test points. To evaluate the performance of the AP63205QWU, follow the procedure below:

1. For evaluation board configured at VOUT=5V, connect a power supply to the input terminals VIN and GND. Set VIN to 12V.
2. Connect the positive terminal of the electronic load to VOUT and negative terminal to GND.
3. For Enable, place a jumper to “H” position to enable IC. Jump to “L” position to disable IC.
4. The evaluation board should now power up with a 5V output voltage.
5. Check for the proper output voltage of 5V (±1%) at the output terminals VOUT and GND. Measurement can also be done with a multimeter with the positive and negative leads between VOUT and GND.
6. Set the load to 2A through the electronic load. Check for the stable operation of the SW signal on the oscilloscope. Measure the switching frequency.

MEASUREMENT/PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES:

1. When measuring the output voltage ripple, maintain the shortest possible ground lengths on the oscilloscope probe. Long ground leads can erroneously inject high frequency noise into the measured ripple.
2. For efficiency measurements, connect an ammeter in series with the input supply to measure the input current. Connect an electronic load to the output for output current.

SETTING OUTPUT VOLTAGE:

• Setting the output voltage:
  The AP63205Q is a fixed output buck converter. The output voltage is 5V. Connect VFB pin to output directly as schematic shown.
