DESCRIPTION
The EV3213DH-00A is an evaluation board for
the MP3213. It is configured to provide a
regulated 12V output at up to 0.5A from a 5V
input. The output is adjustable from V
IN
up to
22V by changing resistors on the evaluation
board. For an even higher output voltage, the
input voltage needs to be extended higher.
The high switching frequency (700KHz or
1.3MHz) of the MP3213 allows for smaller
external components, producing a compact
solution for a wide range of load currents. Two
user-selectable frequency options offer
flexibility for easy filtering and low noise. The
PCB heatsink with the exposed pad improves
thermal performance and efficiency at medium
to heavy loads.
