1.5A High Efficiency
Synchronous Switching
Regulator Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM2651 switching regulator provides high efficiency
power conversion over a 100:1 load range (1.5A to 15mA).
This feature makes the LM2651 an ideal fit in battery powered
applications.
Synchronous rectification and 75 mΩ internal switches pro-
vide up to 97% efficiency. At light loads, the LM2651 enters
a low power hysteretic or sleep mode to keep the efficiency
high. In many applications, the efficiency still exceeds 80% at
15 mA load.
A shutdown pin is available to disable the LM2651 and reduce
the supply current to 7 µA. The IC contains patented current
sensing circuitry for current mode control. This feature elimi-
nates the external current sensing required by other current
mode DC to DC converters. The IC has a 300kHz fixed fre-
quency internal oscillator. The high oscillator frequency al-
lows the use of extremely small, low profile components.
The evaluation board can be obtained by ordering part num-
ber LM2651_EVAL from your local National Semiconductor
sales office, or National's website at www.national.com.
Evaluation Board Design
The evaluation board is designed to supply 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V
or adjustable output voltages at 15 mA up to 1.5A. The eval-
uation board comes with a design to supply an output voltage
of 2.5V with input voltage range of 4V to 14V and output cur-
rent range of 15 mA to 1.5A. The design can easily be
modified to provide other output voltage using the equation
below to change the ratio of the feedback resistors R1 and
R2:

The feedback resistors should not be made arbitrarily large
as this would create a high impedance node at the feedback
pin that is more susceptible to noise. A combined value of 50
kΩ for the two resistors is adequate.
Components were selected based on the design procedure
in the LM2651 datasheet. PCB layout is critical to reduce
noise and ensure specified performance for any power supply
design. To minimize the parasitic inductance in the loop of
input capacitors and the internal MOSFETs, connect the ca-
pacitors to V
This is important because the rapidly switching current, to-
gether with wiring inductance can generate large voltage
spikes that may cause noise problems. Locate the feedback
resistors close to the IC and keep the feedback trace as short
as possible. Do not run any feedback traces near the switch
node and keep away from the flux field of the inductor. The
schematic is shown in Figure 1. The parts list of the design is
shown in Table 1. The pictorial representations of the layout
top, bottom and silkscreen layers are shown at the end of this
application note.
When an undervoltage situation occurs, the output voltage
can be pulled below ground as the inductor current is reversed
through the synchronous FET. For applications which need
to be protected from a negative voltage, a clamping diode D2
is recommended. When used, D2 should be connected cath-
ode to V
mum of 2A is recommended.
