AN-2010 LM3423 Buck-Boost 2 Layer Evaluation Board
1 Introduction
This wide range evaluation board showcases the LM3423 NFET controller used with a buck-boost current
regulator. It is designed to drive 4 to 8 LEDs at a maximum average LED current of 700mA from a DC
input voltage of 10 to 70V.
The evaluation board showcases most features of the LM3423 including PWM dimming, fault and LED
status flags, output overvoltage protection and input under-voltage lockout. Note that there are two
revisions of this PCB. The documentation for the latest revision (551600305-002 RevA) is shown first. The
schematic, layout and bill of materials for the first revision (551600305-001 Rev1) can be found at the end
of this document.
The buck-boost circuit can be easily redesigned for different specifications by changing only a few
components (see the Alternate Designs section found at the end of this application note). Note that design
modifications can change the system efficiency. See the LM3421/21Q1/21Q0 LM3423/23Q1/23Q0 N-Ch
Controllers for Constant Current LED Drivers (SNVS574) data sheet for a comprehensive explanation of
the device and application information.
