Connections and operating instructions

The TDA38813 demo board requires a single +12 V for the input power and can deliver up to 12 A load current.
The operation modes and OCP limits can be selected through jumpers.

Layout

The PCB is a six-layer board using FR4 material. Top and bottom layers use 2 oz. copper and inner layers use 1
oz. copper. The PCB thickness is 1.6 mm. The TDA38813 and other major power components are mounted on
the top side of the board.

Description
Connect input power (+12 V) to this pin
Return of input power
Sense pins for the input voltage
V (+1 V), connect a DC load (12 A max.) to this pin
OUT
Return of V
OUT
Sense pins for the output voltage
Connect a scope probe to this pin to monitor enable signal.
Or, an external enable signal can be applied to this pin to overdrive the on-
board enable signal.
For bode plot measurement
Connect a capacitor to this pin to get different soft-start times
Use a jumper to select FCCM or DEM, and switching frequency. Three preset
switching frequencies are: 600 kHz, 800 kHz, 1000 kHz.
Use a resistor to connect to CS to configure the current limit
Connect a scope probe to this pin to monitor Power Good signal
GND
Differential remote sense negative input. Connect this pin directly to the
negative side of the voltage sense point. Short to GND if remote sense is not
used.
Standard demo board is configured to use the internal low-dropout regulator
(LDO). Connect a scope probe to this pin to monitor the output of the internal
LDO.
