Evaluation Boards - Linear Voltage Regulators

The PMLKLDOEVM (Parallel MOSFET low-side driver evaluation module) is a module used for driving MOSFETs for low-side applications. In a low-side application, a MOSFET is usually used as a series pass transistor, wherein the device conducts current in one direction only. The PMLKLDOEVM allows for the easy and safe testing of low-side MOSFETs for applications such as LED lighting, motor control, and power switching.

The PMLKLDOEVM evaluation board can be used to evaluate the working principles of linear voltage regulators. These boards allow users to easily adjust the regulator’s output voltage to the desired level. The board incorporates a two-phase-controlled driver, meaning that the board can operate as a true-current or phase-controlled device. The board is also capable of mode selection for various control methods such as PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation), phase-shift control, and others. The board also features protection circuits for undervoltage lockout, overvoltage lockout, overcurrent, and thermal protection, which are adjustable via on-board jumper settings.

The PMLKLDOEVM evaluation board is designed to provide a comprehensive and easy-to-use solution for voltage regulation. It is equipped with a multi-function regulator that can accurately adjust and measure the output voltage and current. The board is also programmed to display the output voltage and current on the built-in LCD display.
