DC1709A - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC1709A
LTC3880EUJ
Programming Board for Dual-/
Two-Phase DC/DC Controller with
Digital Power Management
Description
LTC3880 FEATURES
Demonstration circuit 1709A contains the circuitry needed
to program and verify the EEPROM within the LTC®3880
and LTC3880-1. That is its only purpose. The DC1709A
is shipped with a LTC3880 installed in the clamshell style
programming socket. The EEPROM contains the factory
default configuration. The LTpowerPlay™ .proj file that
corresponds to the factory default can be found in
the GUI.
n
n
±0.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature
In order to properly verify the contents of the EEPROM,
download and install the LTpowerPlay software (GUI).
The software can be downloaded from:
n
Integrated 16-bit ADC
n
Internal EEPROM and fault logging
n
Integrated powerful N-channel MOSFET gate drivers
n
Wide VIN range: 4.5V to 24V
n
VOUT range: 0.5V to 5.5V
n
Supports power-up into prebiased load
n
Analog current mode control loop
n
Accurate PolyPhase® current sharing
n
Available in a 40-pin (6mm × 6mm) QFN package

Quick Start Procedure
Demonstration circuit 1709A makes it easy to program
and verify the EEPROM contents of the LTC3880.
1. Make sure jumpers are in the following positions:
JUMPER
POSITION FUNCTION
JP1
Off
Write Protection of LTC3880
JP2
On
Write Protection of Identification EEPROM
6. On your PC, launch LTpowerPlay. LTpowerPlay will
identify the DC1709A and launch the appropriate GUI
(see Figure 5).
NOTE: You will see an undertemperature (UT) fault. This
is normal since the temperature sensing pin is grounded.
Ignore this fault at the moment.
2. Open the lid of the socket, SKT1. Verify there is an IC
inside (see Figure 2).
7. Change the GUI parameters according to your system
requirements. Or, you can open an existing project file
by clicking this button:
3. Close the lid. It will snap into place.
NOTE: Removal and insertion of the IC should be done
with either a tweezers or a vacuum suction device.
8. After you finish the design, save the project file by
clicking this button:
4. Plug one end of the USB cable to your PC. Plug the
other end of the USB cable into the I2C/SMBus/PMBus
controller.
5. If you have a DC1427A, plug the ribbon cable into J1
(see Figure 3). If you have a DC1613A, plug the ribbon
cable into J2, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.
POWERING DOWN THE BOARD BETWEEN
PROGRAMMING OPERATIONS
Disconnect the USB cable from the DC1427A/DC1613A
before removing or inserting a LTC3880 into the programming socket.

Quick Start Procedure
WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THE DC1709A
1. Compare the contents of the EEPROM in the LTC3880
against your project or hex file.
3. Verify the EEPROM within the DC1709A contains the
factory defaults.
n
2. Reprogram the contents of the EEPROM in the LTC3880
using your project or hex file.
From the LTpowerPlay interface, load the factory
defaults project file. This file is located at:
C:\Program Files\Linear Technology\LTpowerPlay\
project files\democricuits\LTC3880_datasheet_
defaults.proj
n
Click the Verify button.
