Evaluation board based on DCP3601 36 V - 1 A synchronous buck converter in SOT23-6L
Introduction
The STEVAL-3601CV1 evaluation board demonstrates a smart converter design able to deliver up to 1 A output current from a 3.3 V to 36 V input, with a 5.0 V output voltage. The board features the DCP3601 miniaturized synchronous step-down converter, which implements enhanced peak current control and advanced design circuitry to minimize quiescent current, including also soft-start circuit, overcurrent protection circuit, overtemperature protection and output overvoltage protection. The board highlights key application benefits made possible by the DCP3601, including high efficiency and small PCB size, and is ideal for power conversion solutions in major appliances, smart metering, industrial 12/24 V bus conversion, and generalpurpose wide Vin power supplies. The device used on this board is supplied in the SOT23-6L package.

set with a current limitation compatible with the power board request.

·

J2: Main input power supply (Vin). Input voltage is not filtered to decrease the EMI. Supply voltage should

be set with a current limitation compatible with the power board request.

Input EMI filter

3

Input EMI filter

The STEVAL-3601CV1 is compliant with CISPR16-4-2. An input filter helps to reduce EMI. The filter consists of a ferrite bead (L2), an inductor (L3), and three ceramic capacitors (C3, C4 and C5). An electrolytic capacitor is used for bulk energy storage and input damping.

How to use the board

4

How to use the board

The STEVAL-3601CV1 is set to deliver a 5 V output voltage. This board is best suited for applications where high efficiency at low current is preferred to output ripple.
Step 1. Connect the voltage supply between VIN and GND connectors or VIN_EMC and GND connectors.

Step 2. Connect the load (power resistor or active load) between VOUT and GND connectors.

Note:

For Step 1 and Step 2 short wires are recommended.

Step 3. Set the supply voltage VIN to 12 or 24 V.

Step 4. Note:

By default, VOUT is set to 5 V. Increase or decrease the output power resistor or active load to reach the suitable output current (max. 1 A).
Using DCP3601CMR, at light load the board works in PSK mode to guarantee high efficiency performance.
