LP38501TS-ADJEV Application Field and Working Principle

The LP38501TS-ADJEV can be used in any application where a linear voltage regulator is needed to control the voltage provided to the load. This includes powering of peripheral components such as LCD panels, motor controllers, or other digital devices. The board is also useful for evaluating the LP38501 linear voltage regulator in applications such as robots, automobiles, embedded systems, and a wide range of industrial and consumer electronic products. The board has a wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 28V, and allows for the adjustment of the output voltage from 0.2V to 28V.

The LP38501TS-ADJEV is based on the Texas Instruments LP38501 linear voltage regulator that regulates a fixed output voltage with a load current up to 1A. The regulator comprises an adjustable-frequency PWM voltage regulator and two error amplifiers that feedback and control the output voltage. This allows for an adjustable output within the specified range. The LP38501TS-ADJEV provides access to the voltage adjust pin of the LP38501 regulator for easy adjustment of the output voltage. The board also has two small ICs – the LP2945 LDO and LM185-3.3 low dropout, which provide additional features specific to the application.

The LP38501TS-ADJEV also includes a development version of the Texas Instruments TivaWare C development kit. This provides developers with the ability to control and monitor the operation of the device. Additionally, the development kit includes tools to help design and evaluate the application. The board also provides a power-on reset circuit which is designed to reset the device when the power is applied. It also includes a thermal shutdown circuit that will shut down the device in case of an over-temperature condition.

The LP38501TS-ADJEV evaluation board also includes a selection of voltage select jumpers which allow for the adjustment of the output voltage to the desired voltage level. This includes a jumper for the output voltage, a combination of a jumper for the input voltage and a trim pot, and a jumper to select the over-voltage trip point. These jumpers allow for easy adjustment of the device’s operation.

In addition to the adjustable output voltage range, the LP38501TS-ADJEV also offers a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 28V. This feature allows the user to choose the voltage level that is needed for the application. The board also includes a Quick Start Guide which offers step-by-step instructions for setting up and using the board.

The LP38501TS-ADJEV is a versatile evaluation board that offers an adjustable voltage regulator in a wide variety of applications. The board is designed to be used with the Texas Instruments LP38501 linear voltage regulator which is a low-dropout voltage regulator that offers excellent voltage regulation accuracy. The adjustable output voltage range of the LP38501TS-ADJEV makes it well suited for low-power applications, while the wide input voltage range allows for use in various applications.
