Evaluation Board: Synchronous Buck
Converter Integrated FET
BD9B301MUV-EVK-101 (3.3 | 3A Output)
Introduction
This application note will provide the steps necessary to operate
and evaluate ROHM’s synchronous buck DC/DC converter
using the BD9B301MUV-EVK-101 evaluation board. Component
selection, board layout recommendations, operating procedures,
and application data are provided.
An EN pin allows for simple ON/OFF control of the IC to reduce
standby current consumption, while a MODE pin enables users
to select Fixed Frequency PWM mode or Deep SLLM control that
automatically switches between modes.
Description
This evaluation board has been specifically developed to evaluate
ROHM’s BD9B301MUV synchronous buck DC/DC converter with
integrated 32mΩ Pch high-side and Nch low-side MOSFETs.
Features include 3.3V output from 2.7V to 5.5V input and variable
switching frequency: 1MHz (FREQ pin connected to VIN) or 2MHz
(FREQ pin connected to Ground). Multiple protection cricuits are
also buil in, including a fixed soft start circuit that prevents inrush
current during startup, UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out), and TSD
(Thermal Shutdown).
Applications
• Step-Down Power Supplies for DSPs, FPGAs,
Microcontrollers, and more
• Laptop PCs/Tablet PCs/Servers
• LCD TVs
• Storage Devices (HDDs/SSDs)
• Printers, OA Equipment
• Entertainment Devices

Operating Procedure
1.
2.
Connect the power supply’s GND terminal to GND test point TP3 on the evaluation board.
Connect the power supply’s V
CC
terminal to V
IN
test point TP2 on the evaluation board. This will provide V
IN
to the IC
U1. Please note that V
CC
should be in the range from 2.7V to 5.5V.
3.
Set the operating mode by changing the position of shunt jumper J3 (If Pin2 is connected to Pin1, the MODE pin of IC
U1 will be pulled high and IC U1 will operate in Fixed frequency PWM mode, otherwise the MODE pin of IC U1 will be
pulled low and IC U1 will operate by automatically switching between Deep-SLLM control and fixed frequency PWM
mode).
4.
Set the switching frequency by changing the position of shunt jumper J2 (If Pin2 is connected to Pin1, the FREQ pin
of IC U1 will be pulled high and IC U1 will switch frequency to 1.0MHz, otherwise the FREQ pin of IC U1 will be pulled
low and the the frequency will be switched to 2.0MHz).
5.
6.
7.
Check if shunt jumper J1 is the ON position (Connect Pin 2 to Pin 1, the EN pin of IC U1 is pulled high as a default).
Connect the electronic load to TP4 and TP5. Do not turn on the load.
Turn on the power supply. The output voltage V
OUT
(+3.3V) can be measured at the test point TP4. Now turn on the
load. The load can be increased up to 3A MAX.
