The EVQ2288-L-00A evaluation board is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MPQ2288-AEC1, a configurable, high-frequency, synchronous buck converter with integrated internal high-side and low-side power MOSFETs (HS-FET and LS-FET, respectively).

The MPQ2288-AEC1 operates from a 2.7V to 6V input voltage (V_IN) range and provides up to 16A of highly efficient output current (I_OUT) with fixed-frequency, zero-delay pulse-width modulation (PWM) (ZDP^TM) control for optimal transient response.

The configurable 2MHz to 4MHz switching frequency (f_SW) during forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) reduces the external inductance and capacitance. Internal feedback and compensation minimize the external component count and improve accuracy.

High power conversion efficiency across the wide load range is achieved by scaling down f_SW under light-load conditions to reduce f_SW and gate driver losses. Full protection features include short-circuit protection (SCP), over-current protection (OCP), input over-voltage protection (OVP), output OVP, and thermal shutdown. These protections provide reliable, fault-tolerant operation.

The digital interface features packet error checking (PEC), and the integrated, multi-page one-time programmable (OTP) memory allows for a high degree of configurability.

The EVQ2288-L-00A is a fully assembled and tested evaluation board. The MPQ2288-AEC1 is available in a QFN-18 (3mmx4mm) package with wettable flanks, and is available in AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
