X‐XX‐EVAL1 evvaluation board
d demonstrate
es the featurres and benefiits of the Pico
or Cool‐Powerr® ZVS Buck R
Regulator PI33X
XX family. The board feature
es the ZVS Bu
uck Regulator SIP (U1), alongg with inducto
or (L1), ceram
mic input (C1
1‐C8), and outtput capacitorrs (C10‐C16). The evaluation board provides p
several options fo
or making inp
put power (VIN
N and GND) and output load (VOUT and
d GND) connecctions. The user can solder tab style banaana jacks or wire, use thrreaded bindin
ng posts secured by a retain
ning nut, or to simply use a #
#6 nut and bo
olt connection. All the I/O
O pins are labe
eled and route
ed to the boarrd edge for easy e
access. Each E
I/O pin is accompanied with an ad
djacent 50mil through‐hole fo
or adding a tesst point or to
o facilitate wirin
ng to external circuitry. XX‐XX‐EVAL1 B
Board Fiigure 1 – PI33X
ope tip jack fo
or measuring o
output The bboard has a sco
voltagge (VOUT), an
nd has locations for two op
ptional jacks ffor measuring VIN and the sw
witching node of the regulaator (See Figure 4). Theree are two heeaders installled: an ENABLLE jumper wh
hich can be ussed to enabl e or disable th
he converter an
nd the remote sense jumpeer (H1) that will connect the buck’s reemote sense pin to the outtput at the VOU
UT terminal. Theree is a location for an option
nal 4‐pin I2C h
header that aallows users tto set certain device param
meters and too read the fault registers of tthe regulator ((select regulaator versions).. Each regulator can be asssigned an ad dress from 0 to 7 using the ttwo tri‐state ad
ddress pins (A
ADR0 and ADR
R1). Conneections requireed for parallel regulator opeeration are ggrouped together (labeled C
Current Sharin
ng) to allow for easy cconnection b
between evaluation boardds. There is a connection w
wire from SYN
NCI to SGND
D that ensures SYNCI is groun
nded when not used in parrallel with ano
other PI33XX regulator. This wire shouldd be removed for parallel op
peration. Theree are two unpo
opulated resistor footprints (RADJ1 and R
RADJ2) used in
n trimming thee output voltagge and a cappacitor footp
print (CTRK) to add additional capaccitance to the o
output trackingg pin. Please reefer to the prroduct datasheeet for more d
detailed inform
mation on theese topics. The eevaluation board is constructted using 4 layyers of 2oz coopper and is rrouted to optiimize the regu
ulation path between inp
put and outp
put voltage, which reducces the parassitic losses an
nd yields thee best efficieency. Picor Corporation • picorpo
