DESCRIPTION

The EV3213DH-00A is an evaluation board for

the MP3213. It is configured to provide a

regulated 12V output at up to 0.5A from a 5V

22V by changing resistors on the evaluation

board. For an even higher output voltage, the

input voltage needs to be extended higher.

The high switching frequency (700KHz or

1.3MHz) of the MP3213 allows for smaller

external components, producing a compact

solution for a wide range of load currents. Two

user-selectable

frequency

options

offer

flexibility for easy filtering and low noise. The

PCB heatsink with the exposed pad improves

thermal performance and efficiency at medium

to heavy loads.
