EVL3438-TL-00A

EVL3438-TL-00A is an evaluation board designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MP3438, a 1.2MHz, fixed-frequency, high-efficiency, fully integrated, synchronous boost converter with a wide input supply range. The MP3438 starts from an input voltage (VIN) as low as 2.7V and supports up to 2A of switching current limit with integrated, low on resistance (RDS(ON)) power MOSFETs. The MP3438 adopts a constant-off-time (COT) control topology to provide fast transient response. The MP3438 also supports automatic pass-through functionality when VIN exceeds the set output voltage (VOUT-SET), which can support high efficiency even while the input exceeds the output regulation.

• 2.7V to 16V start-up input voltage (VST) range
• 0.8V to 16V operating input voltage (VIN) range
• Fully integrated, synchronous boost converter
• 2A switching current limit
• 91% efficiency for 3.3V VIN to 12V/0.3A
• 1.2MHz fixed switching frequency (fSW)
• Constant-off-time (COT) control for fast transient response
• Power-save mode (PSM) at light loads
• Automatic pass-through mode when VIN exceeds the set output voltage (VOUT-SET)
