LM5010A Evaluation Board

Introduction

The LM5010AEVAL evaluation board provides the design

engineer with a fully functional buck regulator, employing the

constant on-time (COT) operating principle. This evaluation

board provides a 5V output over an input range of 6V - 75V.

The circuit delivers load currents to 1A, with current limit set

at )1.3A. The board is populated with all external compo-

nents except R6 and C9-C11. These components provide

options for reducing output ripple as described later in this

document.

The board’s specification are:

Theory of Operation

Refer to the evaluation board schematic in Figure 3, which

contains a simplified block diagram of the LM5010A. When

the circuit is in regulation, the buck switch is on each cycle

for a time determined by R1 and V

tion:

The on-time of this evaluation board ranges from )5000 ns

at V

inversely with V

frequency. At the end of each on-time the Minimum Off-

Timer ensures the buck switch is off for at least 260 ns. In

normal operation, the off-time is much longer. During the

off-time, the output capacitor (C7) is discharged by the load

current. When the output voltage falls sufficiently that the

voltage at FB is below 2.5V, the regulation comparator ini-

tiates a new on-time period. For stable, fixed frequency

operation, )25 mV of ripple is required at FB to switch the

regulation comparator. Refer to the LM5010A data sheet for

a more detailed block diagram, and a complete description

of the various functional blocks.

Board Layout and Probing

The pictorial in Figure 1 shows the placement of the circuit

components. The following should be kept in mind when the

board is powered:

1) When operating at high input voltage and high load cur-

rent, forced air flow is necessary.

2) The LM5010A, and the diode D1 will be hot to the touch

when operating at high input voltage and high load current.

3) Use CAUTION when probing the circuit at high input

voltages to prevent injury, as well as possible damage to the

circuit.

4) At maximum load current (1A), the wire size and length

used to connect the load becomes important. Ensure there is

not a significant drop in the wires between this evaluation

board and the load.

Board Connection/Start-up

The input connections are made to the J1 connector. The

load is normally connected to the OUT1 and GND terminals

of the J3 connector. Ensure the wires are adequately sized

for the intended load current. Before start-up a voltmeter

should be connected to the input terminals, and to the output

terminals. The load current should be monitored with an
