XRP6668EVB 1A/1A Dual Channel 1.5MHz Sync. Step Down Converter February 2012 Rev. 1.1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION EVALUATION BOARD MANUAL The XRP6668 is a dual channel synchronous current mode PWM step down (buck) converter capable of delivering up to 1 Amp of current per channel and optimized for portable battery-operated applications. Based on a current mode 1.5MHz constant frequency PWM control scheme, the XRP6668 reduces the overall component count and solution footprint as well as provides a low output voltage ripple and excellent line and load regulation. It also implements a PFM mode to improve light load efficiency as well as a 100% duty cycle LDO mode. Output voltage is adjustable to as low as 0.6V with a better than 3% accuracy while a low quiescent current supports the most stringent battery operating conditions. Built-in over temperature and under voltage lock-out protections insure safe operations under abnormal operating conditions. The XRP6668 is offered in a RoHS compliant, "green"/halogen free 8-pin exposed pad SOIC package.

(c) 2012 Exar Corporation 2/7 Rev. 1.1.0 XRP6668EVB 1A/1A Dual Channel 1.5MHz Sync. Step Down Converter USING THE EVALUATION BOARD set by the feedback resistors. The board will operate with a load current IOUT of up to 1A and provide efficiency equal to figures 4 and 5 of XRP6658 datasheet. INITIAL SETUP Set the input supply to a voltage between 2.5V to 5.5V and connect it to VIN and GND connectors on the left side of the evaluation board. Connect the load to the VOUT and GND connectors on the right hand side of the board. Check to make sure that jumper J1 is set to VIN. The board will power-up and regulate to the desired output voltage VOUT (c) 2012 Exar Corporation JUMPER J1 FUNCTION Jumper J1 can be used to either short EN pin to VIN or to GND. The Board is supplied from EXAR with the jumper set to connect EN to VIN. 3/7 Rev. 1.1.0 VIN = 2.5V - 5.5V VIN = 3.3V - 5.5V VIN2 EN2 GND SW2 VIN2 SW1 VIN1 GND EN1 C5 4.7uF NP 4.7uF NP C8 C1 C4 4 3 2 1 NP R7 EN2 NP R9 SW2 VFB2 VIN2 SW1 VFB1 2.2uH L2 5 6 7 XRP6668 8 VIN1 EN1 U1 2.2uH L1 GND 4/7 9 (c) 2012 Exar Corporation 1 J2 C3 3 3 22pF C7 22pF J1 2 2 VIN1 1 NP R10 200k R5 453k R2 NP R8 C2 C6 10uF 20 100k R6 100k R3 10uF R4 20 R1 NP C9 NP C10 GND T2 VOUT = 1.8V VOUT2 GND FB2 FB1 GND VOUT = 3.3V VOUT1 T1 GND XRP6668EVB 1A/1A Dual Channel 1.5MHz Sync.
