GUID-20210615-CA0I-TDFB-HMJJ-GN5BXZRLHTKG-low.gif Figure 4-1 System Level Block Diagram

Test Condition:

  • VIN = 16 V
  • VOUT = 3.3 V
  • IOUT = 9A Continuous | 12 A Peak (4.5 A continuous per phase)
Figure 4-2 Dual Phase Application Full Schematic

Notes:

  1. The EN pins of both channels are connected to each other.
  2. The positive supply rail, +Vs, of the op-amp was connected to the Vout for these tests. However it is recommended to connect to an external auxiliary supply rail that is operational before these converters are started up.
  3. This is a preliminary design and the component values and circuit schematic might need adjustments.
  4. Two separate EVMs were used and wired together, along with a breakout board for the op-amp circuit, for this design.
