1.1 Introduction

The LM72880QEVM-400 EVM is a synchronous, buck DC/DC regulator with constant-current constant-voltage (CC-CV) regulation and I2C interface. The EVM operates over an input voltage range of 24V to 70V (VIN terminal), providing a regulated current of 5A (maximum) in CC mode and a regulated voltage of 20V (maximum) in CV mode. The regulation targets of the average inductor current limit and the output voltage are programmable by I2C. As a default, the output voltage is pre-programmed to 5V, the average inductor current limit is pre-programmed to 0.5A, and the free-running frequency is pre-programmed to 400kHz.

The EVM features cable drop compensation, spread spectrum, selectable FPWM/PFM, active output discharge, output slew rate control, soft start, OVP, and peak current limit with hiccup mode protection. The EVM is designed for 400kHz switching frequency.
