DESCRIPTION
The SP6651A Evaluation Board is designed to help the user evaluate the performance
of the SP6651A for use as a single Li-Ion battery Step-Down DC-DC Converter. The
SP6651A operates from 2.7V to 6.5V input, with the highest efficiency in the range 3.0V
to 4.2V where the Li-Ion battery has the most energy. The SP6651A evaluation board
is a complete power supply circuit to provide ease of evaluation for the DC/DC
Converter performance.

USING THE EVALUATION BOARD
1) Powering up the SP6651A Circuit & Programming the UVLO threshold
The SP6651A Evaluation Board can be powered from a single Li-Ion battery or a +2.7 to
+6.5V power supply. Connect with short leads directly to the “Vin” and “Gnd” posts.
Note the SP6651A will remain in “shutdown” until D0 or D1 of the Jumpers J1 or J2 are
applied to the Vin or position 1 to 2. See Table 1 for UVLO threshold programming and
D1 and D0 pin definition.
Table 1. Operating Mode Definition
D1 D0 Definition
0 0 Shutdown. All internal circuitry is disabled and the power switches are opened.
0 1 Device enabled, falling UVLO threshold = 2.70V
1 0 Device enabled, falling UVLO threshold = 2.85V
1 1 Device enabled, falling UVLO threshold = 3.00V
2) VOUT PROGRAMMING
The SP6651A requires 2 feedback resistors to control the output voltage. Connect the
appropriate resistors RF and RI (Table 2) from pin 6 SP6651A FB to Vout and to the
GND.
For Vout different from that shown in the Table 2, use equation:

Pin
Name Pin Description Pin
NO.
PVin Input voltage power pin. Inductor charging current passes
through this pin. 1
Vin Internal supply voltage. Control circuitry powered from this
pin. 2
BLON
Open drain battery low output – need to pullup to supply
externally. Vin - Vout below threshold pulls this node to
ground. Vin - Vout above threshold, this node is open.
3
D1 Digital mode control input. See Table 1 for definition. 4
D0 Digital mode control input. See Table 1 for definition. 5
FB
External feedback network input connection. Connect a
resistor from FB to ground and FB to Vout to control the
output voltage. This pin regulates to the internal reference
voltage of 0.8V.
6
Vout Output voltage sense pin. Used for internal timing and BLON
circuitry. 7
GND Internal ground pin. Control circuitry returns current to this pin. 8
PGND Power ground pin. Synchronous rectifier current returns
through this pin. 9
LX Inductor switching node. Inductor tied between this pin and
the output capacitor to create Vout. 10
