GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADP1764-1.0-EVALZ and ADP1765-1.0-EVALZ fixed

evaluation boards and the ADP1764-ADJ-EVALZ and ADP1765-

ADJ-EVALZ adjustable evaluation boards demonstrate the

functionality of the ADP1764 and the ADP1765 series of linear

regulators.

Simple device measurements, such as line and load regulation,

dropout voltage, and ground current, are demonstrated with

only a single voltage supply, a voltmeter, an ammeter, and load

resistors.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the ADP1765 evaluation boards;

the ADP1764 fixed and adjustable evaluation boards are

identical to the ADP1765.

For full details on the ADP1764 and the ADP1765 linear

regulators, see the ADP1764 and the ADP1765 data sheets, which

should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using

these evaluation boards.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE

EVALUATION BOARD CONFIGURATIONS

The ADP1764 and ADP1765 evaluation boards come supplied

with different components, depending on the adjustable or fixed

version ordered. Components common to all versions are C1,

C2, C3, C4, C5, J1, and R2. Use R1 for the ADP1764-ADJ-E VA L Z

and ADP1765-ADJ-E VA L Z evaluation boards. Figure 9 and

Figure 10 show the schematics of these evaluation board

configurations, and Table 1 describes the hardware components.

The ADP1764-ADJ-E VA L Z and ADP1765-ADJ-E VA L Z have

an output voltage range of 0.5 V to 1.5 V. The output voltage is

set to 1.0 V by the external 6.8 kΩ adjust resistor.

Calculate the output voltage (VOUT) by

VOUT = AD × (RADJ × IADJ)

where:

AD is the gain factor with a typical value of 2.99 between the

VADJ pin and VOUT pin.

RADJ is the resistor connected between the VADJ pin and

ground.

IADJ is the 50 µA constant current from the VADJ pin.

The ADP1764-1.0-E VA L Z and ADP1765-1.0-E VA L Z fixed

evaluation boards use a 1.0 V output model. Do not connect R1

for the fixed output option.

Calculate the start-up time of the regulator by

tSTART-UP_FIXED = tDELAY + VREF × (CSS/ISS)

tSTART-UP_ADJ = tDELAY + VADJ × (CSS/ISS)

where:

tD E L AY is a fixed delay of 100 µs.

VREF is a 0.5 V internal reference for the fixed output model option.

CSS is the soft start capacitance from the SS pin to GND.

ISS is the current sourced from the SS pin (10 µA).

VADJ is the voltage at the VADJ pin equal to RADJ × IADJ.

Figure 3. Output Voltage Measurement Setup

Figure 3 shows how the evaluation boards can be connected to a

voltage source and a voltmeter for basic output voltage accuracy

measurements.

A resistor can be used as the load for the regulator. Ensure that

the resistor has a power rating that is adequate to handle the

power expected to dissipate across it. Use an electronic load as

an alternative. Ensure the voltage source can supply enough

current for the expected load levels.

Follow these steps to connect the evaluation board to a voltage

source and voltmeter:

1. Connect the negative terminal of the voltage source to one

of the GND pads on the evaluation board.

2. Connect the positive terminal of the voltage source to the

VIN pad on the evaluation board.

3. Connect a load between the VOUT pad and one of the

GND pads on the evaluation board.

4. Connect the negative terminal of the voltmeter to one of

the GND pads on the evaluation board.

5. Connect the positive terminal of the voltmeter to the

VOUT pad on the evaluation board.

When these steps are completed, the voltage source can be turned

on. If J1 is inserted (connecting EN to VIN for automatic startup),

the regulator powers up.

If the load current is large, the user must connect the voltmeter

as close as possible to the output capacitor to reduce the effects

of ohmic voltage drops (IR).

LINE REGULATION MEASUREMENTS

For line regulation measurements, the change in the output of

the regulator is measured when the input is varied. For good

line regulation, the output must change as little as possible with

varying input levels. To ensure that the device is not in dropout

mode during line regulation measurement, VIN must be varied

between VOUT + 0.2 V (or 1.1 V, whichever is greater) and 1.98 V.

For example, for an ADP1764 or an ADP1765 device with a fixed

1.3 V output, VIN must be varied between 1.5 V and 1.98 V. This

measurement can be repeated under different load conditions.

Figure 4 shows the typical line regulation performance of an

ADP1764 and an ADP1765 with a fixed 1.3 V output.

LOAD REGULATION MEASUREMENTS

For load regulation measurements, the output of the regulator is

monitored while the load is varied. For good load regulation,

the output must change as little as possible with varying load.

The input voltage must be held constant during load regulation

measurement. The load current can be varied from 0 mA to 4 A

for the ADP1764 and 0 mA to 5 A for the ADP1765. Figure 5

shows the typical load regulation performance of an ADP1764

and an ADP1765 with a fixed 1.3 V output for an input voltage

of 1.5 V.

DROPOUT VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS

The dropout voltage can be measured using the configuration

shown in Figure 3. Dropout voltage is defined as the input to

output voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the

nominal output voltage. The ADP1764 and the ADP1765 only

enter dropout mode for output voltages of at least 1.2 V. For

lower voltage outputs, the ADP1764 and the ADP1765 enter

undervoltage lockout and shut down. The dropout voltage

increases with larger loads.

For accurate measurements, use a second voltmeter to monitor

the input voltage across the input capacitor. The input supply

voltage may need adjusting to account for IR drops, especially

when using large load currents. Figure 6 shows the typical curve

of dropout voltage measurements with different load currents.

GROUND CURRENT MEASUREMENTS

Figure 8 shows how the ADP1764 and ADP1765 evaluation

boards can connect to a voltage source and an ammeter for

ground current measurements.

A resistor can be used as the load for the regulator. Ensure the

resistor has a power rating that is adequate to handle the power

expected to be dissipated across it. Use an electronic load as an

alternative. Ensure that the voltage source can supply enough

current for the expected load levels.

Follow these steps to connect the evaluation board to a voltage

source and ammeter:

1. Connect the positive terminal of the voltage source to the

VIN pad on the evaluation board.

2. Connect the positive terminal of the ammeter to one of the

GND pads on the evaluation board.

3. Connect the negative terminal of the ammeter to the

negative terminal of the voltage source.

4. Connect a load between the VOUT pad on the evaluation

board and the negative terminal of the voltage source.

When these connection steps are completed, the voltage source

can be turned on. If J1 is inserted (connecting EN to VIN for

automatic startup), the regulator powers up.

GROUND CURRENT CONSUMPTION

Ground current measurements can determine how much current

the internal circuits of the regulator consume while the circuits

perform the regulation function. To be efficient, the regulator

must consume as little current as possible. Typically, the regulator

uses the maximum current when supplying its largest load level

(4 A for the ADP1764 and 5 A for the ADP1765). Figure 7 shows

the typical ground current consumption for various load levels at

VOUT = 1.3 V and TA = 25°C.

When the device is disabled (EN = GND), the ground current

drops to less than 2 µA.
