GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The
ADP1974-EVALZ
is an open-loop evaluation board that
can be used to test the features of the ADP1974. The
is a constant frequency, voltage mode, bidirectional synchro-
nous pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller for buck or
boost, dc-to-dc, battery charge and discharge applications.
When connected to external, high voltage field effect transistors
(FET); a half bridge driver; and an external control device, such as
the AD8450-EVALZ, the
ADP1974-EVALZ
evaluate the
ADP1974
in a complete closed-loop application.
This user guide includes input/output descriptions, setup
instructions, the schematic, and the printed circuit board (PCB)
layout drawings for the
ADP1974-EVALZ
The
ADP1974-EVALZ
can be used to test internal features such
as precision enable, pin selective battery charge or recycle mode
operation, internal and external frequency synchronization
control with programmable phase shift, PWM duty cycle control,
programmable maximum duty cycle, programmable dead time,
and programmable peak hiccup current limit. Additional
protection features that can be evaluated include soft start,
input voltage undervoltage lockout (UVLO), fault signaling,
and thermal shutdown (TSD).
Complete specifications for the
ADP1974
data sheet, which should be consulted in conjunction
with this user guide when using the evaluation board.
