---|
VIN (J1) | Input voltage to the EVM | 4.2 | | 36 (1) | V |
VOUT (J3) | Output voltage of the EVM | 3.3 | | 36 (1) | V |
IIN (J1) | Input current of the EVM | | | 10(3)(4) | A |
IOUT (J3) | Output current of the EVM | | | 10(3) | A |
Regulator output power | Output power of the EVM | | | 360 (3) | W |
EXT_DRV (J6) | Voltage applied to DRV_SUP pin of the regulator | 4 | | 11 | V |
EVM Operating Ambient Temperature (TA) | | | 25(2) | | °C |
(1) Due to the high di/dt and dv/dt electrical flow associated with switch-mode power supplies, nodes on the EVM can have high spike above input voltage (in buck mode) or output voltage (in boost mode) level. Switch node voltage can swing up to "input or output + inductive spike" level. High side gate drives can swing up to "switch node voltage + 11 V (DRV_SUP supply voltage dependent) + gate drive inductive spike" level. Safety precautions must be observed at all times.
(2) Connectors, bump-ons, jumpers on the EVM are not a good choice for evaluation under temperature greatly deviated from room temperature of 25°C. Please refer to BOM for temperature rating of board components.
(3) Thermal monitoring (for example, using a thermal camera) is recommended if power stage output current > 5 A or total output power > 100 W.
(4) Default EVM input current limit is set to 8 A through the IIN pin. The current limiting feature can be disabled by setting EN_IIN_PIN bit to '0', changing IIN pin resistor, or shorting IIN pin to PGND through JP11.
