1. Description
The EM21xx are a series of PowerSoC synchronous buck converters from the Intel® Enpirion®
Power Solutions family. The EM22xx series feature an advanced digital controller, gate
drivers, synchronous MOSFET switches, and a high performance inductor. Only input and
output filter capacitors and a few small signal components are required for a complete
solution. A PMBus™ version 1.2 compliant interface provides setup, control, and telemetry.
Differential remote sensing and ±0.5% set-point accuracy provide precise regulation over
line, load and temperature variation. Very low ripple further reduces accuracy uncertainty to
provide best in class static regulation for today’s FPGAs, ASICs, processors, and DDR
memory devices.

4. Instructions
1) Connect the power supply
Set the Power Supply to 12V/10A.
Connect the power supply to the board (make sure that the power supply is OFF)
with two patch cables, not longer than 12 inches (30 cm). Using longer wires is
possible, provided that additional bulk is added to the board (the C45 through-hole
capacitor footprint is available for this purpose) and the input voltage is monitored
at the board level. Please use INPUT GROUND and INPUT VOLTAGE eyelet-
terminated cables to connect the power.
Please observe the correct polarity.
CAUTION: Incorrect polarity of the power supply may cause permanent
board damage!
CAUTION: Power supply voltage above 20V may cause permanent board
damage!
2) Connect the load
Connect the load to the OUTPUT GROUND and OUTPUT voltage with patch cables,
no longer than 12 inches (30 cm).
Please observe the correct polarity.
3) Check jumper settings
The board will arrive with one jumper on the J6 (BUS – enabling control through
PMBUS), one jumper on J14 (INT – this enables the on-board 5V power supply) and
one jumper on J15 (AUX_PVIN – this biases the 5V on board DC-DC converter). If an
auxiliary 5V power supply is needed (connected between J16 (+) and J17 (-)), J14
should be placed across the “EXT” position while J15 can be removed.
Although “TRACK” and “SYNC” use 100 mils headers, they are NOT to be shorted by
jumpers.
4) Connect the PMBUS GUI interface dongle
The USB Dongle can be inserted only in the correct position, with pin one towards
GND. All pins must be properly inserted.
Prerequisite: the latest GUI software must be installed on a Windows PC.

5) Set the output voltage
Using the chart from the silkscreen, please select the desired output voltage, using
ONLY ONE switch ON. This setting will be read by the module when the part is
powered on or by PMBus command; changing the resistor on the fly will not have any
effect.
6) Power-up the board
After all preparations above, the board should be ready to perform. If the GUI
interface dongle is not used, the jumper J6 should be moved to the “ON” position;
else the jumper J6 should be in the “BUS” position.
The voltage range (High/Low) is marked on the board, as shown in Figure 2:
Figure 2: “L” and “H” Jumper Table, Marked On The EM21xx Evaluation Board Silk Screen
For instruction on how to use the EM21xx GUI, please read “GUI User Guide.”
NOTE: To measure the Bode Plot of the DC-DC converter, R12 must be replaced with 50Ω resistor across which to inject
the signal, while TP18, TP20, TP8 and TP21 should be used to connect the probes of the phase analyzer.
