1.1 Introduction

The Texas Instruments LMR60410QEVM evaluation module helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the LMR604x0-Q1 wide-input buck converters. The LMR60410-Q1 is an easy-to-use, synchronous, step-down DC/DC converter capable of delivering up to 4A of load current from an input voltage of 3V up to 36V. The LMR60410QEVM features an output voltage of 3.3V and a switching frequency of 2.2MHz that can support a load up to 4A.

The LMR60406, LMR60410, LMR60406-Q1 and LMR60410-Q1 are available in a 9-pin RAK WQFN package with preprogrammed settings to reduce component count and achieve high density designs. The LMR60410QEVM comes with the variant of the LMR604103SRAKRQ1, which allows for adjustable output voltage, external synchronization, and spread spectrum options at a fixed 2.2MHz switching frequency. See the aforementioned device data sheets for detailed information of all four variants of the device. The EVM uses the LMR60410 with the following features:

  • Wide input voltage range
  • Wide duty-cycle range
  • Integrated high-side and low-side power MOSFETs
  • Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection
  • Internal loop compensation
  • Designed for low electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements
