DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 2057A is a high input voltage, 250mA
output DC/DC power supply featuring the
IC operates with high efficiency Burst Mode
and includes an internal high side power MOSFET. The
board will accept an input voltage between 4V and 140V,
and provide jumper selected output voltages of 1.8V,
3.3V, 5V with an option for additional voltages. The IC
includes internal soft-start and a provision for increasing
soft-start time.
Included on the board is an ON/OFF jumper that can
also be configured as a precision undervoltage lockout.
Additional PC pads are included for programming current
limit to optimize efficiency and for reducing output voltage
ripple and reducing component size. A terminal (FBO)
is included to allow multiple boards to be paralleled for
higher output current.
