LMR38020EVM User Guide
The LM38020EVM is an 80-V DC/DC buck regulator that employs synchronous rectification to achieve high
conversion efficiency in a small footprint. The EVM operates over a wide input voltage range of 6 V to 80 V
to provide a regulated 5-V output at 400-kHz switching frequency. The output voltage has better than 1.5%
setpoint accuracy and is adjustable using an external resistor divider. The module design uses the
synchronous buck converter with the following:
• Wide input voltage (wide V
• Wide duty-cycle range
• Integrated high-side and low-side power MOSFETs
• Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection
• Precision enable
The LMR38020 converter is available in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD
density, low-component count DC/DC solutions. The LMR38020EVM evaluation module is qualified for the
LMR38020 as well as the LMR38020-Q1 buck converter. See
