ADP2441 Evaluation Board
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Full-featured evaluation board for the ADP2441
Configurable synchronous step down dc-dc switching
regulator
The ADP2441 evaluation board is a complete, dc-to-dc switch-
ing regulator design based on the ADP2441, a configurable, 1 A,
synchronous step-down, dc-to-dc regulator.
Operating voltage range of board: VIN = 6 V to 36 V
Output voltage is set to 5 V or can be adjusted
Maximum load 1 A
Switching frequency set to 500 kHz or adjustable switching
frequency of 300 kHz to 1 MHz
Power saving mode at light load
Precision enable input pin
Current limit protection
Power good output
The ADP2441 is a synchronous, step-down dc-to-dc switching
regulator that uses a current mode pulse-width modulation
(PWM) control scheme at medium-to-heavy load currents for
high efficiency and smoothly transitions to a pulse skip mode
at light loads to conserve power. The power switch and
synchronous rectifier are integrated for minimal external part
count and high efficiency. The ADP2441 is optimized for
operation with small ferrite core inductors and ceramic
capacitors to deliver the maximum output power per square
millimeter of the PCB board area.
External soft start set to 6 ms or external tracking available
Board size: 53 mm × 53 mm
The ADP2441-EVALZ is available with 5 V at 1 A output,
switching frequency set to 500 kHz. If needed, the ADP2441
evaluation board configuration can be modified by changing
the values of the appropriate passive components.
