DESCRIPTION
The SP6656 Evaluation Board is designed to help the user evaluate the performance
of the SP6656 for use as a single Li-Ion battery Step-Down DC-DC Converter. The
SP6656 operates from 2.7V to 6.5V input, with the highest efficiency in the range 3.0V
to 4.2V where the Li-Ion battery has the most energy. The SP6656EB evaluation board
is a complete power supply circuit to provide ease of evaluation for the DC/DC
Converter performance.

1) Powering up the SP6656 Circuit
The SP6656 Evaluation Board can be powered from a single Li-Ion battery or a +2.7 to
+5.0V power supply. Connect with short leads directly to the “Vin” and “Gnd” posts.
Note the SP6656 will remain in “shutdown” until the EN Jumper J1 is applied to the Vin
or position 1 to 2.
2) VOUT PROGRAMMING
The SP6656 has a dynamically programmable output voltage using the OVSI and
OVSO pins. This requires 2 feedback resistors to control the output voltage as well as
an Rs resistor for the dynamically programmed output voltage. Connect the appropriate
resistors RF and RI (Table 1) from pin 6 SP6656 FB to Vout and to the GND.
For Vout Low, select OVSI = L and use the formula below to set the output voltage:
RI
Vout
RF
= 1
8.0
For Vout High, select OVSI = L, and the RS resistor will be switched in to change the
output voltage from the previously set voltage to a larger output voltage, determined by
the following equation:

= 1
