The Future of Analog IC Technology
EVM3686-RU-00A
18V 20A Step-Down Power Module
Evaluation Board
DESCRIPTION
The EVM3686-RU-00A is used for
demonstrating the performance of MPS’
MPM3686, a 20A step-down power module
with built-in power MOSFETs and power
inductor.
High power efficiency over a wide load range is
achieved by scaling down the switching
frequency at light load to reduce the switching
related loss by constant on time control. Over-
Current-Protection, Over-Voltage Protection,
Under-Voltage Protection, and thermal
shutdown provide reliable operation.
MPM3686 is available in QFN 12x15x4mm
package.
