Reference Documentation Please refer to the MxL7213 Data Sheet for additional information about the MxL7213, including efficiency curves for this configuration with V = 12V. The datasheet also includes a full list of IC features, pinout, pin descriptions, typical performance characteristics and external component calculations. This manual is meant to be used in conjunction with the datasheet.
MxL7213 13A Dual Phase EVB User Manual Evaluation Board Overview Evaluation Board Overview The block diagram shown in Figure 3 illustrates the connection points for the VIN, VOUT1, VOUT2, TRACK, MODE_PLLIN and RUN pins. VOUT1 CONNECTOR CONNECTOR VOUT1 TRACK1 (JP4)
MxL7213 13A Dual Phase EVB User Manual Configuration and I/O Interfaces Configuration and I/O Interfaces MODE The MODE (JP1) jumper is provided for overall device configuration: Force Continuous Mode, Pulse-Skipping Mode and External Synchronization are selectable. RUN1, RUN2 A RUN jumper is provided for both channels (JP2 for RUN1 and JP3 for RUN2).
MxL7213 13A Dual Phase EVB User Manual Set-Up Options Set-Up Options Jumpers are factory installed per Table 2 to configure the EVB for operation. Jumper and testing options are described in the next sections. Refer to the product datasheet for additional information.
MxL7213 13A Dual Phase EVB User Manual Test Interfaces Test Interfaces Load Transient Circuit A load transient circuit is provided to allow optional testing of load transients. The IOSTEP clock input is used to drive the transient signal. The load step generated by the FET (Q1) is very fast; the step slew rate is >40A/µs for a 6.5A transient load test case.
2 Phase, Single Output Select The MxL7213 can be configure for single rail dual phase 26A operation and 4 x 0603 resistor jumpers allow VOUT1 / VOUT2 together to output 26 Amps. This can be accomplished by removing both R7 and R19 and installing 0 ohm resistors on R14, R17, R28 and R39.
Channel 1, 3.3V Output (20MHz BW) 3. Ripple waveform shown, measured at VOUT1 BNC (J1), is affected by 1uF cap C13. The ripple waveform characteristics ideally should be observed at the output capacitor closest to the MxL7213, COUT5. Figure 11:...
