The board is also designed to reduce the noise at the output by applying current sensing technique. The board is also small in size and has simple layout design to make it easy to use and test.

At the heart of the ADP1610-EVALZ evaluation board is a highly integrated monolithic IC designed for relatively high current DC/DC & AC/DC SMPS applications. The device integrates a switching controller, low RDS(on) power MOSFET, over temperature protection, adjustable current limit, adjustable voltage limit, and thermal shutdown in a single package. The integrated PSR (Primary Side Regulation) is also supported to give maximum flexibility in terms of output current and voltage range.

The switching control circuit works on a cycle-by-cycle current limit basis. The circuit senses the current sense shift signal from the low side power MOSFET and calculates both peak and average current on the primary side. The peak current limit is adjusted using the current sense resistor and the average current limit is adjusted using the external voltage or current setting. Once the current limit has been reached, the controller quickly shuts off the MOSFET current path. The controller also has integrated over-temperature protection.

Overall, the ADP1610-EVALZ evaluation board is an excellent solution for testing DC/DC & AC/DC (Off-Line) SMPS applications. It has been designed with design criteria such as high efficiency, low audible noise, and improved reliability. The board features a wide input voltage range, variable output voltage, high efficiency, and robust protection. Additionally, the board is equipped with integrated ORing diodes to provide for current load sharing and has a built-in over-temperature protection to guarantee safe operation.
