LM20133 Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM20133 is a full featured buck switching regulator ca-
pable of driving up to 3A of load current. This device features
a clock synchronization input that allows the switching fre-
quency to be synchronized to an external clock source. The
flexibilty to synchronize the switching frequency from 500 kHz
to 1.5 MHz allows the size of the power stage components to
be reduced while still allowing for high efficiency. The
LM20133 is capable of converting an input voltage between
2.95V and 5.5V down to an output voltage as low as 0.8V.
Fault protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit,
output power good, and output over-voltage protection. The
dual function soft-start/tracking pin can be used to control the
startup response of the LM20133, and the precision enable
pin can be used to easily sequence the LM20133 in applica-
tions with sequencing requirements. The LM20133 is avail-
able in an eTSSOP-16 package with an exposed pad for
enhanced thermal performance.

The LM20133 evaluation board has been designed to bal-
ance overall solution size with the efficiency of the regulator.
The evaluation board measures just under 1.3” x 1.1” on a
two layer PCB, with all components placed on the top layer.
The power stage and compensation components of the
LM20133 evaluation board have been optimized for an input
voltage of 5V, but for testing purposes, the input can be varied
across the entire operating range. The output voltage of the
evaluation board is nominally 1.2V, but this voltage can be
easily changed by replacing one of the feedback resistors
(R
LM20133 evaluation board has been designed to provide a
stable solution over the entire input and output voltage range
with a reasonable transient response. The EN pin must be
above 1.18V (typ) on the board to initiate switching. If the EN
function is not necessary, the EN pin should be externally tied
to V
