Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) EVM3683-20-MN-00B Evaluation Board

Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) EVM3683-20-MN-00B Evaluation Board evaluates the MPM3683-20 DC/DC step-down power module with a 15A continuous current output. The Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) MPM3683-20 includes a configurable soft-start time (tSS) using a single capacitor. The device provides an open-drain power good (PG) signal to indicate if the output voltage (VOUT) is within the nominal range. It offers full protection features like short-circuit (SCP), over-current (OCP), under-voltage (UVP), and over-temperature (OTP) protection.

Features

  • Wide input voltage (VIN) range
    • 2.7V to 16V with external 3.3V VCC
    • 4V to 16V with internal or external VCC
  • 0.6V to 5.5V output voltage (VOUT) range
  • Up to 15A of continuous output current (IOUT) with a 20A peak
  • Differential VOUT remote sense
  • Adaptive Constant-On-Time (COT) for ultra-fast transient response
  • Selectable Pulse-Skip Mode (PSM) or Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM)
  • VOUT tracking
  • PG active-clamped to low level during power failure
  • Configurable soft-start time (tSS)
  • Pre-biased start-up
  • 600kHz, 800kHz, or 1000kHz selectable switching frequency (fSW)
  • Non-latch Over-Current Protection (OCP), Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO), Over-Temperature Protection (OTP), and Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
  • Available in an FCM LGA-29 (7mm x 7mm x 4.4mm) package

Applications

  • Telecom and networking systems
  • Base stations
  • Industrial systems
  • Servers and storage
  • FPGA and ASIC cards
