Eval Kit for 6A Scalable / Programmable DC-DC Modules
Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. now offers the PKT-mEZDPD4506A evaluation kit for the mEZDPD4506A configurable dc-dc power module with up to 6A and 0.6-22V output voltage. This part has a multiple time programmable memory and can be programmed with the Virtual Bench Pro GUI software available below.
Use the GUI to configure and monitor part performance such as Vin, Vout, Iout & Temperature. Current and output voltage values are all that is needed to start evaluation. Additional parameters have default settings and can be re-configured as needed.
The mEZDPD4506 series are scalable, programmable dc-dc power supplies with up to 6A peak output current. There are two packages available: the mEZDPD4506AS is a surface mount (LGA package), and the mEZDPD4506A is in a DIP (Dual Inline Package).

Digital programmable features enable the mEZDPD4506AS to be controlled and programmed via an I2C communication bus. Operation parameters can be programmed, including compensation, the output voltage transition slew rate, the switching frequency, and power save mode. Pre-configured DIP package modules are available to provide quick evaluation.
The DIY8886 is a 45V input, dual-phase, single-output high-efficiency synchronous step-down converter with PMBUS control interface. It can provide up to 6A continuous output current with excellent load and line regulation over a wide input supply range.
The DIY8886 integrates high-side and low-side power MOSFETs for high efficiency without an external Schottky diode and is available in a FCQFN (5mmx5mm) package. With internal programmable compensation network, the DIY8886 can offer a very compact solution with a minimum number of external components.
The output voltage can be controlled through the PMBus serial interface or the external voltage divider connected to FB pin. Output voltage can be adjusted on-the fly from 0.6V to 20V. Voltage slew rate, switching frequency, enable and power savings mode are also selectable through the PMBus interface.
Peak-current-mode control provides fast transient response and eases loop stabilization. Full protection features include under-voltage lockout, over-voltage protection, over-current protection and thermal shut down.
