Evaluation Board

General Description

The Evaluation Board demonstrates the RTQ2072BAGQVT-QT-11 to be designed with three step down converters and one high PSRR low-dropout (LDO) regulator for automotive camera applications. The high-voltage step down converter is operated with input voltage range up to 18.5V for Power Over Coax (POC) connection. Two low-voltage step down converters provide constant output voltage. All step down converters operate in a forced fixed-frequency PWM mode. The LDO output voltage is easily set via an external resistor. The RTQ2072B provides 10 power sequences by a resistor on SEQ pin for flexibility.

Performance Specification Summary

Summary of the RTQ2072B Evaluation Board performance specificiaiton is provided in Table 1. The ambient temperature is 25°C.

Power-up Procedure

Suggestion Required Equipments

  • RTQ2072B Evaluation Board
  • DC power supply capable of at least 20V and 2A (depends on application)
  • Electronic load capable of 2A (depends on application)
  • Function Generator
  • Oscilloscop

Quick Start Procedures
The Evaluation Board is fully assembled and tested. Follow below steps to verify board operation. Do not turn on supplies until all connections are made. When measuring the output voltage ripple, care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the oscilloscope probe. Measure the output voltage ripple by touching the probe tip and ground ring directly across the last output capacitor.

Follow below procedure for proper setup of measurement and EVB operation.

  1. With power off state, connect the input power supply to VIN and GND pins.
  2. With power off state, connect the electronic load between the VOUT and nearest GND pins.
  3. Turn on the power supply at the input. Make sure that the input voltage does not exceeds 24VAMR on the Evaluation Board.
  4. Check for the proper output voltage using a voltmeter.
  5. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the load within the operating ranges and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and other performance

  1. The capacitance of the input and output capacitors will influence the input and output voltage ripple.
  2. MLCC capacitors have degrading capacitance at DC bias voltage and temperature. Especially, smaller size MLCC capacitors will have much lower capacitance.
