Introduction
Board Specifications
The LMZ14203H/02H/01H SIMPLE SWITCHER® power
modules for high output voltage are easy-to-use DC-DC solutions capable of driving up to a 3A load with exceptional
power conversion efficiency, output voltage accuracy, line
and load regulation. They are available in an innovative package that enhances thermal performance and allows for hand
or machine soldering.
The LMZ14203H/02H/01H Evaluation Board is configured for
12V output voltage from 15V to 42V input. The precision enable input allows for programmable UVLO of the input supply.
The resistor voltage divider RENT and RENB set the input UVLO
threshold. Connect the VIN turret terminal to the EN turret on
the board to enable operation.
The external soft-start capacitor CSS facilitates controlled
startup output rise time. The resistors RFBT and R FBB set the
output voltage. An output feed-forward capacitor CFF across
the upper feedback resistor trims for optimum transient response. The control loop operates well with low ESR output
capacitors such as ceramic and polymer electrolytic capacitors. The resistor RON sets the operating frequency. See
datasheet for component selection details.
The LMZ14203H/02H/01H PCB layout offers excellent thermal performance, achieving junction-to-ambient thermal resistance θJA of 14.9°C/W. The evaluation board with its
default Bill of Materials offers great EMI performance, complying with the EN 55022 Class B radiated emissions standard. The solution also complies with the CISPR22 conducted
emissions standard with the addition of a small input filter.
