ABSTRACT
The LMR38020EVM is a 80 V DC/DC buck regulator that employs synchronous rectification to achieve high
conversion efficiency in a small footprint. The EVM operates over a wide input voltage range of 6 V to 80 V
to provide a regulated 5 V output at 400 kHz switching frequency. The output voltage has better than 1.5%
setpoint accuracy and is adjustable using an external resistor divider. The module design uses the LMR38020F
synchronous buck converter with wide input voltage (wide VIN) range, wide duty-cycle range, integrated high-
side and low-side power MOSFETs, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, and precision enable. The LMR38020
converter is available in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ package to enable high density, low component count DC/DC
solutions. The LMR38020EVM evaluation module is qualified for the LMR38020 as well as the LMR38020-Q1
buck converter. See Table 1-1 for package information.

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
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.

2.2 Detailed Descriptions
This section describes the connectors and the test points on the EVM and how to properly connect, set up and
use the LMR38020EVM. See Figure 2-1 for a top view of the EVM.
VOUT (J2) 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 LMR38020 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 (J3) Input voltage to the converter
VIN connector and test point connects to the input capacitors and the VIN pin of the LMR38020.
Connect the supply voltage from a power supply or a battery between the VIN and GND
connectors. The voltage range should be higher than 4.5 V for the device to be active. VVIN higher
than 6 V provides a regulated 5 V output voltage. To avoid damaging the device VVIN should be
no greater than 80 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.
EMI IN+ Input voltage to input filter of the converter
If an input filter is desired between the supply voltage and the LMR38020, connect the supply
voltage between EMI IN+ and EMI GND on bottom layer. The supply voltage should be connected
to the board with short wires.
The EMI filter components were not assembled on this evaluation board.
EMI GND Ground connection near the input filter
This is the current return path for the supply connected to EMI IN+. It provides a direct connection
to the input filter capacitors to filter conducted noise generated by the converter. Use EMI IN+ and
EMI GND connections at the input filter to minimize EMI.
SYNC (J5) SYNC clock injection
J5 is used to synchronize the switching frequency to external clock. Refer to data sheet for detail
application information.
Do NOT short J5 SYNC pin to ground.
EN (J4) Set EN pin options
Use this jumper to enable/disable the LMR38020. PIN-1 is connected to GND and PIN-2 is
connected to EN.
1. Connect PIN-1 to PIN-2 to disable the device.
2. Leave PIN-1 and PIN-2 open for EN to be connected to VIN through a resistor divider.
The system UVLO voltage can be programmed by resistor divider on EN pin. The lower UVLO
resistor, R7, was not assembled on this board, so the EN/UVLO voltage pulls up to the input
voltage.
Calculate the lower UVLO resistor, R7, based on the desired turn-on voltage and the upper UVLO
resistor, R5, of 115 KΩ. Refer to LMR38020 data sheet "External UVLO" section for more detail
application information.
PWRGD
(J1)
Power Good indication
PWRGD jumper with PIN-1 connected to PGOOD and PIN-2 connected to Pull-Up voltage. PIN-1
can be used as a test point to monitor the power-good indicator. This flag indicates whether the
output voltage has reached its regulation level. The LMR38020 PGOOD is an open-drain output
that is tied to voltage below 20 V through pull-up resistor R10.
