1 General TI High Voltage Evaluation User Safety Guidelines
WARNING
Always follow TI’s set-up and application instructions, including use of all interface components within their
recommended electrical rated voltage and power limits. Always use electrical safety precautions to help ensure
your personal safety and the safety of those working around you. Contact TI’s Product Information Center http://
support.ti.com for further information.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in personal injury, property damage, or death due
to electrical shock and/or burn hazards.
The term TI HV EVM refers to an electronic device typically provided as an open framed, unenclosed printed-
circuit board assembly. It is intended strictly for use in development laboratory environments, solely for qualified
professional users having training, expertise, and knowledge of electrical safety risks in development and
application of high-voltage electrical circuits. Any other use and/or application are strictly prohibited by Texas
Instruments. If you are not suitably qualified, you should immediately stop from further use of the HV EVM.
•Work Area Safety:
– Maintain a clean and orderly work area.
– Qualified observer(s) must be present anytime circuits are energized.
– Effective barriers and signage must be present in the area where the TI HV EVM and its interface
electronics are energized, indicating operation of accessible high voltages may be present, for the
purpose of protecting inadvertent access.
– All interface circuits, power supplies, evaluation modules, instruments, meters, scopes, and other related
apparatus used in a development environment exceeding 50 VRMS/75 VDC must be electrically located
within a protected Emergency Power Off (EPO) protected power strip.
– Use a stable and non-conductive work surface.
– Use adequately insulated clamps and wires to attach measurement probes and instruments. No freehand
testing whenever possible.
•Electrical Safety:
As a precautionary measure, it is always a good engineering practice to assume that the entire EVM may
have fully accessible and active high voltages.
– De-energize the TI HV EVM and all its inputs, outputs, and electrical loads before performing any
electrical or other diagnostic measurements. Confirm that TI HV EVM power has been safely de-
energized.
– With the EVM confirmed de-energized, proceed with required electrical circuit configurations, wiring,
measurement equipment hook-ups, and other application needs, while still assuming the EVM circuit and
measuring instruments are electrically live.
– When EVM readiness is complete, energize the EVM as intended.
WARNING
While the EVM is energized, never touch the EVM or its electrical circuits as they could be
at high voltages capable of causing electrical shock hazard.

•Personal Safety:
– Wear personal protective equipment, for example, latex gloves and/or safety glasses with side shields or
protect EVM in an adequate lucent plastic box with interlocks from accidental touch.
•Limitation for Safe Use:
– EVMs are not to be used as all or part of a production unit.
Safety and Precautions
The EVM is designed for professionals who have received the appropriate technical training, and is designed
to operate from an AC power supply or a high-voltage DC supply. Please read this user guide and the safety-
related documents that come with the EVM package before operating this EVM.
CAUTION
!
Do not leave the EVM powered when unattended.
WARNING
Hot surface! Contact may cause burns. Do not touch! A fan should be utilized if full-power operation
is done. The EVM was constructed to highlight the small solutize size and as a result, is not as
thermally optimized as typical application PCB.
WARNING
High Voltage! Electric shock is possible when connecting board to live wire. Board should be
handled with care by a professional.
For safety, use of isolated test equipment with overvoltage and overcurrent protection is highly
recommended.

2 Overview
2.1 LM5013-Q1 Asynchronous Buck Converter
The LM5013-Q1 step-down switching converter features all the functions needed to implement a low-cost,
high-efficiency buck regulator capable of supplying 3.5-A load current. An adaptive constant on-time (COT)
control scheme and PFM at light loads enables low standby current. Various features incorporated for enhanced
reliability and safety include cycle-by-cycle peak current limit, thermal shutdown protection, internal output
voltage soft-start timer, precision enable , and an open-drain PGOOD indicator for sequencing and fault
reporting.
Figure 2-1 shows the pin configuration of the LM5013-Q1. Figure 2-2 presents the regulator schematic for quick

3 LM5013-Q1 Evaluation Module
The LM5013-Q1EVM is configured to deliver 12-V at up to 3.5-A at a switching frequency of 300-kHz. As
shown in LM5013-Q1EVM schematic, a type 3 ripple generation circuit is used to generate the appropriate
voltage ripple on FB. This circuit uses an RC network (consisting of "R4" and "C4") between SW and VOUT
to create a triangular ramp. This triangular ramp is then AC coupled into the feedback node with capacitor
"C16." This method is best suited for applications where low output voltage ripple is required and where ceramic
output capacitors are used (since it is not using the output voltage to generate the ripple signal). If additional
output ripple can be managed, a possibility for reduced BOM count can be achieved with type 1 or type 2
compensation. Reference the data sheet for these implementations.
3.1 Quick Start Procedure
1. Connect the voltage supply between VIN and GND connectors using short wires.
2. Connect the load of the converter between VOUT and GND connectors using short wires.
3. Set the supply voltage (VVIN) at an appropriate level between 15-V to 100-V. Set the current limit of the
supply to an appropriate level as well.
4. Turn on the power supply. The EVM powers up and provides VOUT = 12-V.
5. Monitor the output voltage while increasing the load current to max.
See Figure 3-1 for the location of the connectors.

3.2 Detailed Descriptions
This section describes the connectors and the test points on the EVM and how to properly connect, set up and
use the LM5013-Q1EVM. See Figure 3-1 for a top view of the EVM.
VOUT Output voltage of the converter.
VOUT connector and test point connected to the power inductor and the output capacitors. Connect
the loading device between VOUT and GND connectors to provide loading to the regulator. Connect
the loading device to the board with short wires to handle the DC output current.
GND Ground of the converter.
It is connected to the GND as well as the return terminals of the input and output capacitors. GND
is the current return path for both supply voltage and load. Connect to supply and load grounds with
short wires.
VIN Input voltage to the converter.
VIN connector and test point connects to the input capacitors and the VIN pin of the LM5013-Q1.
Connect the supply voltage from a power supply or a battery between the VIN and GND connectors.
The voltage range should be higher than 6 V for the device to be active. VVIN higher than 15-V
provides a regulated 12-V output voltage. To avoid damaging the device VVIN should be no greater
than 100-V. The current limit on the supply should be high enough to provide the needed supply
current when the output is fully loaded. The supply voltage should be connected to the board with
short wires. C7 is populated to avoid oscillation between the cable parasitic inductance and the
low-ESR input ceramic capacitors.
VIN-EMI Input voltage to input filter of the converter.
The supply voltage should be connected to the board with short wires.
The inductor/ferrite in series with input path have some DCR associated with them. Verifying
datasheet specification should be done by shorting these components.
GND-
EMI
Ground connection near the input filter.
This is the current return path for the supply connected to VIN-EMI. It provides a direct connection
to the input filter capacitors to filter conducted noise generated by the converter. Use VIN-EMI and
GND-EMI connections at the input filter to minimize EMI.
Input
Filter
EMI mitigation.
The input filter consists of a filter inductor, ferrite bead and ceramic capacitors. An electrolytic
capacitor is included for bulk energy storage and input parallel damping.
EN/
UVLO
Test point to monitor the EN/UVLO pin of the device.
This test point is to monitor the voltage on the device EN/UVLO pin.
EN/
UVLO
Set EN/UVLO
By default, device is hard-enabled. Device enable/disable voltage would correspond to typical
VEN-RISING and VEN-FALLING datasheet specification.
The enable/disable voltage can be varied by calculating for bottom UVLO resistor RUV2.
Calculate the lower UVLO resistor, RUV2 (R6), based on the desired turn-on voltage of 6 V and the
selected upper UVLO resistor, RUV1 (R5) , of 1 MΩ using Equation 1.

7 Performance Curves
For performance curves, in addition to those shown in Figure 7-1, please visit LM5013-Q1 data sheet's
application section. Applications curves would be taken on LM5013-Q1 EVM unless otherwise specified.
Figure 7-1. Thermal Capture of EVM: VIN = 48-V, VOUT = 12-V, IOUT= 1.5-A
Note the design was optimized for small size and as a result, the thermal performance of the EVM does not
reflect expected system performance with larger copper area. If continuous evaluation is to be done at higher
input voltage, load current, or both, a fan must be used to make sure the IC does not hit its thermal limit.
Ensure the hot temperature identifiers are noticed on the PCB and care is taken in the handling of the PCB.

radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le
présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés dans le
manuel d’usage et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne
non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de
l'émetteur
