Evaluating the ADP5300 50 mA/500 mA, High Efficiency, Ultralow Power Step-Down
Regulator
PLEASE SEE THE LAST PAGE FOR AN IMPORTANT
WARNING AND LEGAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Rev. 0 | Page 1 of 7
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP5300 is an ultralow power, synchronous step-down
dc-to-dc regulator with a load switch in a 10-lead LFCSP
package. The ADP5300 runs from an input voltage range of
2.15 V to 6.50 V and requires minimal external components
to provide a high efficiency solution with an integrated power
switch, a synchronous rectifier, and internal compensation.
The ADP5300-E VA L Z evaluation board provides an easy way to
evaluate the device. This user guide describes how to quickly set
up the board to collect performance data.
Complete information about the ADP5300 is available in the
ADP5300 data sheet, which should be consulted in conjunction
with this user guide when using the evaluation board.

SETTING UP THE EVALUATION BOARD
POWERING UP THE EVALUATION BOARD
The ADP5300-E VA L Z evaluation board is fully assembled and
tested. Before applying power to the ADP5300-EVA L Z
evaluation board, follow the setup procedures in this section.
Jumper Settings
Table 1 describes the jumper settings. Before selecting the
jumper settings, make sure that the enable input, EN, is high.
Table 1. Jumper Settings

J5 (EN) High Enable VOUT
Low Disable VOUT
J8 (VID) VIN 2.5 V
GND 3 V

1.2 MHz to 2.5 MHz
J7 (VOUT_OK) VIN Pull VOUT_OK to VIN
VOUT Pull VOUT_OK to VOUT
Input Power Source Connection
Before connecting the power source to the ADP5300-EVA L Z ,
ensure that the evaluation board is turned off. If the input
power source includes a current meter, use the meter to
monitor the input current as follows:
1. Connect the positive terminal of the power source to the
VIN terminal (J1) on the evaluation board.
2. Connect the negative terminal of the power source to the
GND terminal (J3) on the board.
If the power source does not include a current meter, connect a
current meter in series with the input source voltage as follows:
1. Connect the positive terminal of the power source to the
positive terminal (+) of the current meter.
2. Connect the negative terminal of the power source to the
GND terminal (J3) on the evaluation board.
3. Connect the negative terminal () of the current meter to
the VIN terminal (J1) on the evaluation board.
Output Load Connection
Before connecting the load to the ADP5300-E VA L Z , ensure
that the evaluation board is turned off. If the load includes a
current meter, or if the current is not measured, connect the
load directly to the ADP5300-E VA L Z as follows:
1. Connect the positive load connection (+) to the VOUT
terminal (J2).
2. Connect the negative load connection (−) to the GND
terminal (J4).
If a current meter is used, connect it in series with the load as
follows:
1. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the current meter to
the VOUT terminal (J2) on the ADP5300-E VA L Z .
2. Connect the negative terminal (−) of the current meter to
the positive terminal (+) of the load.
3. Connect the negative terminal () of the load to the GND
terminal (J4) on the ADP5300-E VA L Z .
Input and Output Voltmeter Connections
Measure the input and output voltages with voltmeters. Make
sure that the voltmeters are connected to the appropriate test
points on the board. If the voltmeters are not connected to the
correct test point, the measured voltages may be incorrect due
to the voltage drop across the leads or due to the connections
between the board, the power source, and/or the load.
1. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the input voltage
measuring voltmeter to Test Point TP1 on the ADP5300-
E VA L Z .
2. Connect the negative terminal (−) of the input voltage
measuring voltmeter to Test Point TP5 on the ADP5300-
E VA L Z .
3. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the output voltage
measuring voltmeter to Test Point TP4 on the ADP5300-
E VA L Z .
4. Connect the negative terminal () of the output voltage
measuring voltmeter to Test Point TP7 on the ADP5300-
E VA L Z .
Power on the ADP5300-EVALZ
When the power source and load are connected to the
ADP5300-EVA L Z , the evaluation board can be powered on. If
the input power source exceeds 2.06 V (typical), the output
voltage rises to 1.8 V by default.

MEASURING EVALUATION BOARD PERFORMANCE
Measuring the Switching Waveform
To observe the switching waveform with an oscilloscope, place
the oscilloscope probe tip at TP2, and ensure that the probe
ground is connected to GND at TP5. Set the oscilloscope to a dc
coupling, 2 V/division, 1 µs/division time base. The switching
waveform must alternate between 0 V and the approximate
input voltage.
Measuring Load Regulation
Test load regulation by increasing the load at the output and
measuring the output voltage between the TP4 and TP7 test
points.
Measuring Line Regulation
Vary the input voltage and measure the output voltage at a fixed
output current. Measure the input voltage between TP1 and TP5.
The output voltage is measured between TP4 and TP7.
Measuring Efficiency
Measure the efficiency, η, by comparing the input power with
the output power.

Measuring Inductor Current
Measure the inductor current by removing one end of the
inductor from the pad on the ADP5300-E VA L Z and using a
wire connected between the pad and the inductor. Then, use a
current probe to measure the inductor current.
Measuring Output Voltage Ripple
To observe the output voltage ripple, place an oscilloscope probe
across the C2 output capacitor, with the probe ground lead placed
at the negative capacitor terminal () and the probe tip placed
at the positive capacitor terminal (+). Set the oscilloscope to an
ac coupling, 10 mV/division, 2 µs/division time base and a
20 MHz bandwidth.
A standard oscilloscope probe has a long wire ground clip. For
high frequency measurements, this ground clip picks up high
frequency noise and injects it into the measured output ripple.
Figure 2 shows how to measure the output ripple. Measuring
the output ripple requires removing the oscilloscope probe
sheath and wrapping an unshielded wire around the oscilloscope
probe. By keeping the ground lengths of the oscilloscope probe
as short as possible, true ripple can be measured.

Figure 2. Output Ripple Measurement
Output Voltage Change
The output voltage of the evaluation board is preset to 1.8 V.
However, the output voltage can be adjusted with an external
VID resistor (see the ADP5300 data sheet).
