The LM64460EVM-2MHZ high-density evaluation module (EVM) is designed to showcase the performance of the LM64460-Q1 high-performance, automotive synchronous buck DC/DC converter. The EVM operates over a wide input voltage range of 5.5 V to 36 V to deliver a fixed 5-V output with better than 1% setpoint accuracy and up to 6-A output current. Several features to ensure protection of the regulator during fault conditions include undervoltage lockout (UVLO), internal soft start, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (OCP), an open-drain PGOOD indicator, and thermal shutdown. Spread-spectrum frequency modulation and FPWM/AUTO modes of operation are configured based on the MODE/SYNC pin of the LM64460-Q1. In addition, the LM64460-Q1 has a default switching frequency of 2.1 MHz, but is synchronizable to an external clock signal in the range of 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz.
