USING THE EVALUATION BOARD
If an ammeter is used, connect it in series with the load. Connect
the positive (+) ammeter terminal to the evaluation board for
Buck 1, VOUT1, the negative (−) ammeter terminal to the
positive (+) load terminal, and the negative (−) load terminal
to the evaluation board at PGND.
POWERING UP THE EVALUATION BOARD
The ADP5034 TSSOP evaluation board is supplied fully
assembled and tested. Before applying power to the evaluation
board, follow the procedures in this section.
Enable
Each channel has its own enable pin, which must be pulled high
to enable that channel (see Table 1).

Input and Output Voltmeters
Measure the input and output voltages with voltmeters. Make
sure that the voltmeters are connected to the appropriate evaluation board terminals and not to the load or power sources
themselves.
If the voltmeters are not connected directly to the evaluation
board, the measured voltages will be incorrect due to the
voltage drop across the leads and/or connections between the
evaluation board, the power source, and/or the load.
Jumper JMODE (MODE)
The Jumper JMODE as shown in Figure 1 is used to connect
the MODE pin of the device to either ground or VIN1. To force
Buck 1 and Buck 2 into forced PWM operation, shunt the
center contact of jumper JMODE to the top pin header to pull
the MODE pin high to VIN1. To allow Buck 1 and Buck 2 to
operate in automatic PWM/PSM operation, shunt the center
contact of JMODE to the bottom pin header to pull the MODE
pin low to PGND.
Connect the input voltage measuring voltmeter positive
terminal (+) to the evaluation board at VIN1, and input voltage
measuring voltmeter negative (−) terminal to the evaluation
board at PGND.
Connect the output voltage measuring voltmeter positive (+)
terminal to the evaluation board at VOUT1 for measuring
the output voltage of Buck 1, and the output voltage measuring
voltmeter negative (−) terminal to the evaluation board
at GND.
Input Power Source
Turning On the Evaluation Board
If the input power source includes a current meter, use that meter
to monitor the input current. VIN1 directly connects to AVIN and
VIN2. Attach a header on JVIN3 to connect the supply of LDO1
to VIN1, and attach a header on JVIN4 to connect the supply of
LDO2 to VIN1. Connect the positive terminal of the power source
to VIN1 on the evaluation board and the negative terminal of the
power source to PGND.
When the power source and load are connected to the evaluation
board, the board can be powered for operation. Ensure that:
If the power source does not include a current meter, connect a
current meter in series with the input source voltage. Connect
the positive lead (+) of the power source to the ammeter
positive (+) connection, the negative lead (−) of the power
source to PGND on the evaluation board, and the negative
lead (−) of the ammeter to VIN1 on the board. Be aware that
the current meters add resistance to the input source, and this
voltage reduces with high output currents.
The desired channel is enabled and monitors the output voltage.
Output Load
Connect an electronic load or resistor to set the load current. If
the load includes an ammeter, or if the current is not measured,
connect the load directly to the evaluation board, with the positive
(+) load connected to one of the channels. For example, connect
Buck 1 output, VOUT1, and the negative (−) load connection
to PGND.
The power source voltage for the Bucks (VIN1, VIN2) is from
2.3 V to 5.5 V. The power source voltage for the LDOs (VIN3,
VIN4) is from VOUTLDO + 0.5 V or 1.7 V (whichever is greater) to
5.5 V. Note that VIN3 and VIN4 should be the same or below the
voltage supplied on VIN1 and VIN2.
If the load is not enabled, enable the load; check that it is drawing
the proper current and that the output voltage maintains voltage
regulation.
Setting the Output Voltage of the Bucks
The buck output voltage is set through external resistor dividers, shown in Figure 2 for Buck 1. The output voltage can
optionally be factory programmed to default values as indicated
in the data sheet. In this event, R1 and R2 are not needed, and
FB1 can be left unconnected. In all cases, VOUT1 must be
connected to the output capacitor. FB1 is 0.5 V.

To observe the switching waveform with an oscilloscope, place
the oscilloscope probe tip at the end of the inductor with the
probe ground at GND. Set the oscilloscope to dc, 2 V/division,
and 200 ns/division time base. When the MODE pin is set to
high, the buck regulators operate in forced PWM mode. When
the MODE pin is set to low, the buck regulators operate in
PWM mode when the load is above a predefined threshold.
When the load current falls below a predefined threshold, the
regulator operates in power save mode (PSM), improving the
light load efficiency. Typical PWM and PSM switching
waveforms are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6.

To observe the output voltage ripple of Buck 1, place an oscilloscope probe across the output capacitor (COUT_1) with the probe
ground lead at the negative (−) capacitor terminal and the probe
tip at the positive (+) capacitor terminal.
Set the oscilloscope to ac, 10 mV/division, and 2 µs/division
time base, with BW set to 20 MHz to avoid noise to interfere
with the measurements. It is also recommended to shorten the
ground loop of the oscilloscope probe to minimize coupling. A
good way of measuring the output voltage ripple is to solder a
wire to the negative (−) capacitor terminal and wrap it around
the barrel of the probe, while the tip directly connects to the
positive (+) capacitor terminal as shown on Figure 4.

Measuring Load Regulation of Buck
Measuring Efficiency of Buck
Test the load regulation by increasing the load at the output and
looking at the change in output voltage. The input voltage must be
held constant during this measurement. To minimize voltage drop,
use short low resistance wires, especially for loads approaching
maximum current.
Measure the efficiency, η, by comparing the input power with
the output power.

Measuring Line Regulation of LDO
3.3160
For line regulation measurements, the output of the regulator is
monitored while its input is varied. For good line regulation, the
output must change as little as possible with varying input levels.
3.3155
To ensure that the device is not in dropout mode during this
measurement, VIN must be varied between VOUT nominal + 0.5 V
(or 2.3 V, whichever is greater) and VIN maximum. For example,
a fixed 3.3 V output needs VIN to be varied between 3.8 V and
5.5 V. This measurement can be repeated under different load
conditions. Figure 10 shows the typical line regulation
performance of the LDO with a fixed 3.3 V output.

Figure 10. LDO Line Regulation
Measuring Load Regulation of LDO
For load regulation measurements, the regulator output is
monitored while the load is varied. For good load regulation,
the output must change as little as possible with varying loads.
The input voltage must be held constant during this measurement.
The load current can be varied from 0 mA to 300 mA. Figure 11
shows the load regulation performance of the LDO with a 3.3 V
output for different input voltages.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output voltage
differential when the input voltage is set to the nominal output
voltage. One way to measure dropout voltage is to get the
output voltage (VOUT nominal) with VIN initially set to VOUT
nominal + 0.5 V; output load can be set to 100 µA. Then, force the
input voltage equal to VOUT nominal, and measure the output
voltage accordingly (VOUT dropout). Dropout voltage is then
calculated as VOUT nominal − VOUT dropout. This applies only for
output voltages greater than 1.7 V.
Dropout voltage increases with larger loads. For more accurate
measurements, a second voltmeter can be used to monitor the
input voltage across the input capacitor. The input supply voltage
may need to be adjusted to account for IR drops, especially if
large load currents are used.
Measuring Ground Current Consumption of LDO
Ground current measurements can determine how much current
the internal circuits of the regulator consume while the circuits
perform the regulation function. To be efficient, the regulator
needs to consume as little current as possible. Typically, the
regulator uses the maximum current when supplying its largest
load level (300 mA). When the device is disabled, the ground
current drops to less than 1 µA. Refer to Figure 14 for a detailed
instruction on how to perform ground current measurements.

Cascading an LDO from the Buck Regulator
by shunting the jumper JV3V1. Subsequently, VIN4, which
is the supply of LDO2 can also be connected to VOUT2
through jumper JV4V2. In this configuration, the output
voltage of the buck regulator should have enough headroom
with the desired output voltage of the LDO to guarantee the
LDO to operate within specifications.
For certain applications such as analog circuit supplies, the
LDOs are preferred because of its better noise performance
than the bucks. Where not all the buck outputs are being used,
the input supply of the LDOs can be taken from these outputs.
An example demo board connection is shown in Figure 12
wherein VOUT1 is tied to VIN3, which is the supply of LDO1,

MEASURING OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Figure 13 shows how the evaluation board can be connected
to a voltage source and a voltmeter for basic output voltage
accuracy measurements. It shows a voltage source connected to
VIN1 and a voltmeter connected to VOUT1S, which is the output
voltage sense terminal of Buck 1. JEN1 is connected to VIN1 via a
shunt which enables Buck 1; JEN2, JEN3, and JEN4 are connected
to ground, disabling the other channels.
When measuring the voltages on VOUT2, VOUT3, and VOUT4,
make sure that the respective channels are enabled, and the voltmeters are connected to the respective outputs. A resistor can be
used as the load for the regulator. Ensure that the resistor has
a power rating adequate to handle the power expected to be
dissipated across it. An electronic load can also be used as an
alternative. Ensure that the voltage source can supply enough
current for the expected load levels.
