GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
 evaluation module is a complete step-
up dc-to-dc switching converter application with components 
selected to allow operation over the full range of input and load 
conditions for the 5 V (ADP1612) and 12 V (ADP1613) output 
voltages. The evaluation boards can be adjusted for different 
output voltages by changing R1 and R2. In addition, L1, D1, C3, 
and R3 may need to be adjusted and should be recalculated to 
ensure stable operation. 
The ADP1612/ADP1613 evaluation module operates in  
pulse-width modulation (PWM) current mode with up to 94% 
efficiency. The shunt-selectable switching frequency and PWM 
current-mode architecture allow for excellent transient response, 
easy noise filtering, and the use of small, cost-saving external 
inductors and capacitors. Other key features include a 33 nF 
soft start capacitor, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), thermal 
shutdown (TSD), and jumper selected enable. The evaluation 
module demonstrates the operation and performance of the 
ADP1612/ADP1613
This data sheet includes I/O descriptions, setup instructions, 
the schematic, and the PCB layout drawings for the ADP1612/ 
ADP1613 step-up converter evaluation module. Use this data 
sheet in conjunction with the ADP1612/ADP1613 data sheet
