LM25576EVAL: 5V @ 3A; 7 ~ 42 V in, 80%

Summary

The LM25576 evaluation board is designed to provide the design engineer with a fully functional power converter based on Emulated Current Mode Control to evaluate the LM25576 regulator IC. The evaluation board provides a 5V output with a 3A current capability. The ultra-wide input voltage ranges from 7V to 42V. The design operates at 300kHz, a good compromise between conversion efficiency and solution size.

The printed circuit board consists of 2 layers of 2 ounce copper on FR4 material with a thickness of 0.06 inches. This application note contains the evaluation board schematic, Bill-of-Materials (BOM) and a quick setup procedure. Refer to the LM25576 datasheet for complete circuit design information.
