MONOLITHIC POWER SYSTEMS (MPS) EVQ4315-R-01A Evaluation Board, MPQ4315GRE-AEC1, AEC-Q100, Power Management, Synchronous Step Down Converter

EVQ4315-R-01A evaluation board is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MPQ4315, a synchronous, step-down switching converter with a configurable frequency and integrated, internal high-side MOSFET and low-side MOSFET. It provides up to 5A of highly efficient output current (IOUT), with current mode control for fast loop response. The wide 3.3V to 45V input voltage range accommodates a variety of step-down applications in automotive input environments. A 1.7µA quiescent current in shutdown mode allows the device to be used in battery powered applications. High power conversion efficiency across a wide load range is achieved by scaling down the switching frequency under light-load conditions to reduce the switching and gate driver losses. Frequency foldback helps prevent inductor current runaway during start-up. Thermal shutdown provides reliable, fault-tolerant operation. High duty cycle and low-dropout (LDO) mode are provided for automotive cold crank conditions.
