Texas Instruments LMG3624EVM-081 Converter Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments LMG3624EVM-081 Converter Evaluation Module (EVM) demonstrates high efficiency and high density for a 65W USB Type-C® Power Delivery (PD) off-line adapter using the LMG3624 integrated GaN FET with current sense emulation. The input supports a universal 90VAC to 265VAC, and the single output can be set to 5V, 9V, and 15V, all at 3A max and 20V at 3.25A max, which can be adjusted with the USB PD interface controller. High-frequency operation up to 200kHz nominal on the Texas Instruments LMG3624EVM-081 enables small solution size while the multi-mode operation maintains high efficiency. Synchronous rectification is used on the output to increase efficiency.

Features

  • Universal AC input of 90VAC to 264VAC with USB Type-C PD 3.0 compliant output up to 65W (5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/3.25A)
  • Efficiency and standby power consumption exceed regulatory requirements CoC Tier 2 and DoE Level VI
  • Power density of 28W/in3 with an efficiency of 93% at 90VAC full load
  • Integrated GaN device reduces component count and increases efficiency with current-sense emulation
