This section describes the connectors
on the EVM and how to properly set up the EVM.
VOUT
5-V output voltage of the converter
Connect the loading device to the board with short and thick wires.
GND
Ground of the converter
Connect to supply and load grounds with short and thick wires. "Clip-on" GND
connectors are for signal measurement and probing.
VIN_EMI
Input voltage to input filter of the converter
Connect with short and thick wires.
GND_EMI
Ground return for the input filter
Connect with short and thick wires.
CLK
For synchronization clock input
The buck PWM output is synchronized to the external clock when applied.
EN
To monitor the EN pin or input EN control signal
PG
To monitor the PGOOD/RESET pin
The PGOOD pin of the device is an open-drain output and it is pulled up to
VOUT when in regulation and pulled to GND when not.
VINJ
To aid when making bode plots
There is injection resistor, Rinj, between VOUT and this node.
Transformer-based stimulus can be applied across Rinj when taking
measurements for bode plots.
VOUTS
Kelvin sensing for VOUT
For accurate load and line regulation measurements, VOUTS must be utilized.
There is non-neglible I-R drop at maximum load between the output capacitor
and VOUT connector.
