DESCRIPTION
The EV20045DQ-00A evaluation board
demonstrates the performance of MP20045, a
low noise, low dropout and high PSRR linear
regulator. It operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input
voltage and the output voltage can be set
externally which ranges from 1.5V to 5V.
The EV20045DQ-00A can supply up to 1A of
load current, and features current limiting, over
temperature protection and power-good status.
An internal PMOS pass element is used to
allow a low 110uA ground current, marking the
MP20045 suitable for battery-power devices.

QUICK START GUIDE (ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT)
The output voltage of this board is set externally which ranges from 1.5V to 5V by operating from +2.5V
to +5.5V input as the figure 4. The default output voltage of this board is set to 3.0V.
The board layout accommodates most commonly used resistors and capacitors.
1. Attach the positive and negative ends of the load to the VOUT and GND pins, respectively.
2. Attach the Input Voltage (3.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 5.5V) and Input Ground to the VIN and GND pins,
respectively.
3. To enable the MP20045 apply a voltage, 1.5V ≤ VEN ≤ 5.5V, to the EN pin. To disable the
MP20045 apply a voltage, VEN < 0.4V, to the EN pin. The EN pin can be connected to VIN with a
100kΩ resistor for automatic startup.
4. The Output Voltage V
OUT
can be changed by varying R2. Calculate the new value by formula:

QUICK START GUIDE (MODIFICATION FOR FIXED OUTPUT)
For modifying the EV20045DQ-00A to accommodate a fixed output voltage version of the MP20045 as
the figure 5:
1. Carefully remove the IC(U1) and replace it with the corresponding fixed output version of the
MP20045 chip.
2. Remove both R1 and R2.
3. Short R1 while leaving R2 open.
4. Attach the positive and negative ends of the load to the VOUT and GND pins, respectively.
5. Attach the Input Voltage (3.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 5.5V) and Input Ground to the VIN and GND pins,
respectively.
6. To enable the MP20045 apply a voltage, 1.5V ≤ VEN ≤ 5.5V, to the EN pin. To disable the
MP20045 apply a voltage, VEN < 0.4V, to the EN pin. The EN pin can be connected to VIN with a
100kΩ resistor for automatic startup.
Please refer to the datasheet for the detailed information of the different output voltage option of
MP20045.
