RPZ-0.5-EVM-1

RPZ-0.5-EVM-1 is an evaluation platform for RPZ-0.5 buck regulator module. It generates a constant output voltage selectable from 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V to 3.3V from a DC input in the range from 2.3V to 5.5V. It has a maximum continuous output current 0.5A. Switching frequency is internally regulated from 1.8MHz to 3MHz. All the functions of the RPZ0.5 such as output voltage selection, control, trim and output sense can be readily evaluated. Also the behaviour in overload or over-temperature can be evaluated easily before it is designed in. The evaluation board also contains the filter components to meet EMC Class B levels. Alternate component positions are included to allow experimentation to optimize the EMC performance depending on operating conditions and budget.

• Thermal design considerations included
• EMI Class B filter
• Easy evaluation of output voltage selection, control and sensing functions
