User's Guide SNVA356C – March 2009 – Revised April 2013 AN-1876 LM2841 Evaluation Board 1 Introduction The LM2841 is a PWM DC/DC buck (step-down) regulator. With a wide input range from 4.5V-42V, it is suitable for a wide range of applications from automotive to power conditioning from unregulated sources. The LM2841 evaluation board is designed to provide the design engineer with a fully functional power converter based on the buck topology to evaluate the LM2841 series of buck regulators. The evaluation board comes populated with the LM2841YMK-ADJL but can easily be modified to accommodate any of the LM2841 regulator ICs. 2 Features • • • • • • • 3 4.5V to 42V Input Voltage Range 3.3V Output Voltage Up to 300 mA Output Current 89% Efficiency at 300 mA Switching Frequency of 1.25 MHz Frequency Foldback Current Limit of 550 mA Internal Compensation Shutdown Operation The evaluation board includes a 3 pin header and a jumper to select whether the device is on or off. Placing the jumper in the "ON" position ties SHDN to VIN and enables the device. Placing the jumper in the "OFF" position ties SHDN to GND and disables the device. The jumper may be removed and a logic signal may be applied to the center pin to test startup and shutdown of the device. 4 Adjusting the Output Voltage The output voltage can be changed from 3.3V to another voltage by adjusting the feedback resistors using the following equation: VOUT = VFB(1 + (R1/R2)) (1) Where VFB is 0.76V.

Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment. TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof.
