DIODES AP64060WU-EVM Synchronous Buck Converter User Guide

DIODES AP64060WU-EVM Synchronous Buck Converter User Guide

DESCRIPTION
The AP64060 is a 600mA, synchronous buck converter with a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 40V. The device fully integrates a 600mΩ high-side power MOSFET and a 300mΩ low-side power MOSFET to provide high-efficiency stepdown DC-DC conversion.
The AP64060 device is easily used by minimizing the external component count due to its adoption of peak current mode control.

The AP64060 design has a proprietary gate driver scheme to resist switching node ringing without sacrificing MOSFET turn-on and turn-off times, which reduces highfrequency radiated EMI noise caused by MOSFET switching.

The device is available in a TSOT26 package

RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS

EVALUATION BOARD

QUICK START GUIDE
The AP64060WU-EVM has a simple layout and allows access to the appropriate signals through test points. To evaluate the performance of the AP64060WU, follow the procedure  below:

1. 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, at JH8, place a jumper to “VIN” position to connect EN pin directly to VIN. Jump to “GND” position to disable IC.

4. The evaluation board should now power up with a 5.0V output voltage
   

5. Check for the proper output voltage of 5.0V (±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 600mA 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:
Table 1 shows a list of recommended component selections for common output voltages.
