  • Description

    The LM20343 is a full featured synchronous buck regulator capable of delivering up to 3A of load current. The current mode control loop is externally compensated with only two components, offering both high performance and ease of use. The device is optimized to work over the input voltage range of 4.5V to 36V making it well suited for high voltage systems.

    The device features internal Over Voltage Protection (OVP) and Over Current Protection (OCP) circuits for increased system reliability. A precision Enable pin and integrated UVLO allows the turn on of the device to be tightly controlled and sequenced. Startup inrush currents are limited by both an internally fixed and externally adjustable soft-start circuit. Fault detection and supply sequencing are possible with the integrated power good (PGOOD) circuit.

    The frequency of this device can be adjusted from 250 kHz to 1.0 MHz by connecting an external resistor from the RT pin to ground.

    The LM20343 is designed to work well in multi-rail power supply architectures. The output voltage of the device can be configured to track a higher voltage rail using the SS/TRK pin. If the output of the LM20343 is pre-biased at startup it will not sink current to pull the output low until the internal soft-start ramp exceeds the voltage at the feedback pin.

    The LM20343 is offered in an exposed pad 20-pin eTSSOP package that can be soldered to the PCB, eliminating the need for bulky heatsinks.

    Description:

    This evaluation board provides a solution to examine the full featured LM20343 buck switching regulator that is capable of driving up to 3A of load current. The device features a frequency adjust pin that allows the switching frequency to be adjusted from 250 kHz to 1.0 MHz. This board is capable of down converting from an input voltage between 4.5V and 36V. The LM20343 evaluation board has been optimized to work from 4.5V to 25V achieving a balance between overall solution size and the efficiency of the regulator. The power stage and compensation components of the LM20343 evaluation board have been optimized for an input voltage of 12V, but for testing purposes, the input can be varied across the entire operating range. The output voltage of the evaluation board is nominally 3.3V, but this voltage can be easily changed by replacing one of the feedback resistors (R5 or R6).

    Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
