Introduction
This evaluation board provides a solution to examine the high efficiency LM21212-1 buck switching
regulator. The LM21212-1 is capable of driving up to 12A of continuous load current with excellent output
voltage accuracy due to its ±1% internal reference. This device also features a clock synchronization input
that allows the switching frequency to be synchronized to an external clock source. The 300 kHz to 1.5
MHz frequency synchronization range enables the user to minimize the power stage component size,
while still allowing for high efficiency. The LM21212-1 is capable of down converting from an input voltage
between 2.95V and 5.5V. Fault protection features include current limit, output power good, and output
over-voltage protection. The dual function soft-start/tracking pin can be used to control the startup
response of the LM21212-1, and the precision enable pin can be used to easily sequence the LM21212-1
in applications with sequencing requirements.

The LM21212-1 evaluation board has been optimized to work from 2.95V to 5.5V, achieving a balance
between overall solution size and regulator efficiency. The evaluation board measures just under 2” x 2”
on a four layer PCB, and exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal impedance (

optimized for an input voltage of 5V, but for testing purposes, the input can be varied across the entire
operating range. The output voltage of the evaluation board is nominally 1.2V, but this voltage can be
easily changed to any voltage between 0.6V and V
