1 rohm switching regulator solutions evaluation board: synchronous buck converter integrated fet bu90002gwzevk - 101 ( 3.3 v | 1 a output) ? introduction this application note will provide the steps necessary to operate and evaluate rohms synchronous buck dc/dc converter using the bu90002gwz evaluation boards. component selection, board layout recommendations, operation procedures and application data is p rovided. ? description this evaluation board has been developed for rohms synchronous buck dc/dc converter customers evaluating bu90002gwz . while accepting a power supply of 4.0 - 5.5 v, an output of 3.3v can be produced . the ic has internal 2 50m o hm high - side p - ch annel mosfet and 22 0m o hm low - side n - ch annel mosfet and a synchronization frequency range of 5.4mhz to 6.6m hz. a fixed soft start circuit prevents in - rush current during startup along with uvlo (low voltage error prevention circuit) and tsd (thermal shutdown detection) protection circuits. an en pin allows for simple on/off control of the ic to reduce standby current consumption. a mode pin allows the user to select forced pwm (pulse widt h modulation) mode or pfm (pulse frequency modulation) and pwm auto change mode utilized power save operation at light load current. ? applications smart phones, cell phones, portable a pplications and micro dc/dc modules, usb accessories ? evaluation board operating limits and absolut e maximum ratings parameter symbol limit unit conditions min typ max supply voltage bu90002gwz v cc 4 . 0 - 5.5 v output voltage / current bu9000 2gwz v out - 3.300 - v i out - - 1 a ? evaluation board b elow is evaluation board with the bu90002gwz . no.000000000 gnd vout bd9673 efj eval board en fig 1: bu90002gwz evaluation board
