1 Setup
This section describes the test points and connectors on the EVM and how to properly connect, set up, and use
the LMR43620-Q1 EVM.
1.1 Test Points
The test points on the board can be used for connecting to the input of a power supply and output load for the
EVM. See Figure 1-1 for typical test setup. The functions of the test points connections are:
•VIN_EMI — Input supply to EVM including an EMI filter. Connect to a suitable input supply. Connect at this
point for EMI test.
•GND_EMI — Ground connection for the input supply
•VIN — Input supply to the IC. Can be connected to DMM to measure input voltage after EMI filter.
•VOUT — Output voltage test point of EVM. Can be connected to a desired load.
•GND — Ground test points
•EN — This test point is connected to the EN pin. By default, there is a pullup resistor, R1 (RENT), to VIN to
enable the IC.
•PGOOD — This test point is connected to the PGOOD pin from the IC. Can be tied to an external supply
through a pullup resistor or left open.
•RT — In a RT trim part, this test point is connected to the RT pin of the IC through shunt resistor R9 (RJM).
Make sure R9 (RJM) is installed and R8 (RT) is not installed when using jumper J3 (JRT) to connect the RT
pin to Vcc or to GND.

1.2 Jumpers
See Figure 1-2 for jumper locations.
•JEN — This jumper allows the ENABLE input to be connected to GND in order to disable the IC. By default,
this jumper is left open.There is a pullup resistor, R1 (RENT), which connects between the VIN pin and the
EN pin of the IC.
•JPGOOD — Use this jumper to select how the PGOOD pin is connected. A jumper can be used to connect
pin 2 and 3. In this configuration, the PGOOD pin is pulled up to VOUT through R7 (RPGOOD) with a value
of 100 kΩ. When connecting the jumper between pin 1 and 2, the PGOOD pin is pulled up to VCC through
R7 (RPGOOD) with a value of 100 kΩ. By default, this jumper is not populated.
•JRT — Use this jumper to program the switching frequency for a RT trim part. This jumper allows the user
three programmable switching frequency options:
– Program the switching frequency using the R8 (RT) resistor. This action allows for the switching frequency
to be tuned to any value between 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz. Refer to the data sheet for the required RT resistor
value for the desired switching frequency. When using the RT resistor to program the switching frequency,
leave JRT open circuited.
– Short circuit the RT pin to GND by shunting pin 1 and 2. This action results in AUTO mode operation with
a maximum switching frequency of 2.2 MHz. Remove resistor R8 (RT) for proper operation. Resistor R9
(RJM) must be populated.
– Short circuit the RT pin to the VCC pin by shunting pin 2 and 3. This action results in AUTO mode
operation with a maximum switching frequency of 1 MHz. Remove resistor R8 (RT) for proper operation.
Resistor R9 (RJM) must be populated.
