Components common to both versions are C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and JP1. The R1 and R2 resistors set the output voltage of the adjustable evaluation board. Figure 9 and Figure 10 show the schematics of these evaluation board configurations, and Table 1 describes the hardware components. The ADP7183 fixed option uses a −3.3 V output model. Do not connect R1 and R2 for the fixed output option. The adjustable output of the ADP7183 has a range of −0.5 V to −4.5 V. The output voltage is set by VOUT = −0.5 V × (1 + R1/R2) With the values shown in Figure 10, the output voltage is approximately −2.5 V. Table 1.

For the adjustable output option, U1 uses the adjustable option of the ADP7183 and is set to −2.5 V. Input bypass capacitor (CIN), 4.7 µF, 0805 size Regulator capacitor (CREG), 1 µF, 0603 size.

Rev. 0 | Page 3 of 9 UG-795 ADP7183-EVALZ User Guide VOLTAGE, REGULATION, AND CURRENT MESUREMENTS OUTPUT VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS DROPOUT VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS Figure 4 shows how the evaluation boards can be connected to a voltage source and a voltmeter for basic output voltage accuracy measurements. Use the configuration shown in Figure 4 to measure the dropout voltage. The dropout voltage is defined as the input to output voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the nominal output voltage. The ADP7183 only enters dropout mode for output voltages of at least −2.5 V. For lower voltage outputs, the ADP7183 enters undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and shuts down. The dropout voltage increases with larger loads. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the voltage source to one of the GND pads on the evaluation boards. Connect the negative terminal (−) of the voltage source to the VIN pad on the evaluation boards. Connect a load between the VOUT pad and one of the GND pads on the evaluation boards. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the voltmeter to the VOUT pad on the evaluation boards. Connect the negative terminal (−) of the voltmeter to one of the GND pads on the evaluation boards. When these steps are completed, the voltage source can be turned on. If J1 is inserted (connecting EN to VIN for automatic startup), the regulator powers up. If the load current is large, the user must connect the voltmeter as close as possible to the output capacitor to reduce the effects of IR drops. 0 –20 –40 –60 –80 –100 –120 –140 –1000 –100 –10 ILOAD (mA) Figure 3.

The input supply voltage may need adjusting to account for IR drops, especially when using large load currents. Figure 3 shows the typical curve of the dropout voltage measurements with different load currents. DROPOUT VOLTAGE (mV) A resistor can be used as the load for the regulator. Ensure that the resistor has a power rating that is adequate to handle the power expected to dissipate 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. Figure 4. Output Voltage Measurement Setup Rev. 0 | Page 4 of 9 ADP7183-EVALZ User Guide UG-795 LINE REGULATION MEASUREMENTS LOAD REGULATION MEASUREMENTS 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. To ensure that the device is not in dropout mode during line regulation measurement, VIN must be varied between VOUT − 0.5 V (or −2 V, whichever is greater) and −5.5 V. For example, for an ADP7183 with a fixed −3.3 V output, VIN must vary between −3.8 V and −5.5 V. Note that this measurement can be repeated under different load conditions. Figure 5 shows the typical line regulation performance of an ADP7183 with a fixed −3.3 V output. For load regulation measurements, while the load varies, monitor the output of the regulator. For good load regulation, the output must change as little as possible with varying loads. Hold the input voltage constant during load regulation measurement. The load current can be varied from 0 mA to −300 mA. Figure 6 shows the typical load regulation performance of an ADP7183 with a fixed −3.3 V output for an input voltage of −3.8 V. –3.249 VOUT (V) –3.269 –3.26 –3.289 –3.309 –3.28 –3.349 –3.32 –3.369 –1000 –3.34 –3.38 –5.5 –5.3 –5.1 –4.9 –4.7 VIN (V) –4.5 –4.3 –4.1 –3.9 Figure 6.

Ground Current Measurement Setup GROUND CURRENT MEASUREMENTS Ground Current Consumption Figure 7 shows how to connect the ADP7183 evaluation board to a voltage source and an ammeter for ground current measurements. Ground current measurements can determine how much current the internal circuits of the regulators consume while the circuits perform the regulation function. To be efficient, the regulators must consume as little current as possible. Typically, the regulators use the maximum current when supplying their largest load level (−300 mA for the ADP7183). Figure 8 shows the typical ground current consumption for the various load levels at VOUT = −3.3 V and TA = 25°C. Follow these steps to connect the evaluation board to a voltage source and ammeter: 2. 3. 4. Connect the negative terminal (−) of the voltage source to the VIN pad on the evaluation board. Connect the negative terminal (−) of the ammeter to one of the GND pads of the evaluation board. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the ammeter to the positive terminal (+) of the voltage source. Connect a load between the positive terminal (+) of the voltage source and the VOUT pad of the evaluation board. 0 –0.5 GROUND CURRENT (mA) 1. When the device is disabled (EN = GND), the ground current drops to less than 1 μA. When these connection steps are completed, turn on the voltage source.
