QUICK START GUIDE

1. Connect the positive terminal of the load to the VOUT pins and the negative terminal to the

GND pins.

2. Preset the power supply output to 4.75V to 23V and turn it off.

3. Connect the positive terminal of the power supply output to the VIN pin and the negative

terminal to the GND pin.

4. Turn on the power supply. The MP2307 will automatically startup.

5. To use the Enable function, apply a digital input to the EN pin. Drive EN higher than 2.5V to turn

on the regulator or less than 0.7V to turn it off.

6. An under voltage lockout (UVLO) function can be implemented by the addition of a resistor

divider (R4 and R5). The EN threshold is 2.5V, so the VIN UVLO threshold is:

RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS FOR STANDARD OUTPUT VOLTAGES

The output voltage of this board is set to 3.3V. This board is laid out to accommodate most commonly

used inductors and output capacitors and to also be programmed for most standard output voltages.

The following table lists recommended components for some standard output voltages. Listed

compensation components (R2, C3) values are based on the output capacitor installed on this board.

For other capacitors, refer to the Application Information section of the MP2307 datasheet.
