Evaluation Board Description
The AAT1106 evaluation board contains a fully tested
600mA, 1.5MHz Step-Down DC/DC Regulator. The circuit
has an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and four pre-
set selectable outputs (1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V and 2.5V).
The AAT1106 comes in a small 5-pin TSOT23 package
and the board has been optimized to fit small form factor
designs. An optional TVS (SM6T6V8A) is connected
between VIN and GND so that the evaluation board can
be used in a hot-plug application. These features, plus
the nominal operating frequency of 1.5MHz allowing the
use of low profile surface mount components, make the
AAT1106 evaluation board an ideal circuit for use in
battery-powered, hand-held applications.
A schematic of the complete circuit is shown in Figure 3.
The evaluation board layer details are provided in
Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7. Table 3 provides the component
list for the AAT1106 evaluation board.
