AN-1573 LM2745-19A Demonstration Board
1 Introduction
This application notes describes the LM2745 printed circuit board (PCB) design and provides an example
typical application circuit. The LM2745 is a voltage mode PWM buck controller which implements
synchronous rectification. It provides a low cost, high power density, and efficient point of load solution. In
steady state operation the LM2745 is always synchronous, even at no load, thus simplifying the
compensation design. The LM2745 ensures a smooth and controlled start-up when the output is pre-
biased. The current limit protection does not require a current limit resistor in the power path, but is
achieved by sensing the voltage VDS across the low side MOSFET. Though the control sections of the IC
are rated for 3 to 6V (VCC), the driver sections are designed to accept input supply rails (VIN) as high as
14V.
2 Specifics Of The Board
This demo board targets the fixed and mobile telecommunications, industrial electronics, and distributed
power markets. The demo board has a VIN range of 8V to 14V and a LDO regulator, the LP2937, powers
VCC by regulating a 5V output voltage. The LM2745 regulates to an output range of 1.2V to 3.3V at 19A
with a switching frequency of 300 kHz. Note, the demo board is optimized for the above parameters, thus
for additional design modifications refer to the Design Consideration section of the LM2745 data sheet.
The PCB is designed on four layers, the top and bottom layers are 2oz. copper and the two inner layers
are 1oz. copper. The board measures 2.19 in. x 1.03 in. x 0.41 in. (56 mm x 26.2 mm x 10.3 mm) (l, w, h)
on a FR4 laminate.
3 Feature Options
When the tracking feature of the LM2745 is required for use, remove the jumper that connects the soft-
start capacitor C10 and connect the resistor divider, on designators R13 and R14 (see Figure 1). The
Track terminal has been provided for your connecting convenience. The demo board is synchronize ready,
just connect an external clock to the SYNC terminal. Note: increasing the switching frequency results in a
lower inductor current ripple and input and output voltage ripple (if the component values are kept the
same). Monitor the MOSFET junction temperature since switching losses will increase, and do not exceed
the maximum junction temperature of the MOSFET. Refer to the MOSFET manufacturer datasheet for
maximum junction temperature specification and heat sinking guidelines.
