SP6648 Evaluation Board Manual Easy Evaluation for the SP6648 Single or Dual Cell Alkaline to 2V to 5V Output Provides 300mA output at 3.3V output for 2.0V Input High Efficiency: 94% µSOIC Package & SMT components for small, low profile Power Supply DESCRIPTION The SP6648 Evaluation Board is designed to help the user evaluate the performance of the SP6648 for use as a single or dual cell input to +3.3V output DC-DC Converter. The output of the SP6648 is preset to +3.3V or can be adjusted from +2V to +5.5V by manipulating two external resistors. The evaluation board is a completely assembled and tested surface mount board which provides easy probe access points to all SP6648 Inputs and Outputs so that the user can quickly connect and measure electrical characteristics and waveforms.

Connect with short leads directly to the “Vbatt” and “Gnd” posts. Monitor the Output Voltage and connect the Load between the “Vout” post and the 2nd “GND” post. 2) Using the J1 Jumper: Enabling the SP6648 Output and using the Shutdown Mode The SP6648 output will be Enabled if the J1 Jumper is in the top or pin 1 to 2 position. If J1 is in the pin 2 to 3 position, the Shutdown pin is brought to GND, which puts the SP6648 in the low quiescent Shutdown Mode. 3) Using the Rlim Function The peak inductor current, IPEAK, is programmed externally by the RLIM resistor connected between the RLIM pin and GND. The peak inductor current is defined by: IPEAK = 1400/RLIM The SP6648 datasheet specifications for RLIM give a range of 1750 to 4000 ohms. Using the IPEAK equation above gives an IPEAK range of IPEAK range = 350 to 800mA. The saturation current specified for the inductor needs to be greater then the peak current to avoid saturating the inductor, which would result in a loss in efficiency and could damage the inductor. The SP6648 evaluation board uses a Rlim value of 1.87K for an Ipeak = 750mA to allow the circuit to deliver up to 180mA for 1.3V input and 400mA for 2.6V input. Other values could be selected using the above relationships. 4) Using the LBON - Low Battery Output Function The Low Battery Output function, LBON, is programmed externally by the R3 and R4 resistor divider connected between Vbatt, the LBI input pin and GND. The LBON is an open drain output, which is active low and is pulled up by a 1M resistor R5 to Vout. When the LBI comparator falling threshold of 0.625V is reached, the LBON output goes low as determined by the relationship: LBON falling = Vbatt*R4/(R3 +R4) The SP6648 evaluation board R3 & R4 resistors have been set to trip for a falling battery threshold of about 2.0V. Using this relationship, other low battery threshold values can be set by the user.
