DEMO MANUAL DC2134A
LTC4020EUHF
High Power Buck-Boost
Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger
Description
Demonstration circuit 2134A is a high power buck-boost
multichemistry battery charger featuring the LTC®4020.
The board will accept an input voltage between 15V and
55V. The float voltage of the battery output (BAT) is 25.2V,
with 6.3A maximum charge current. The converter output
(VOUT) has a voltage range of 21V to 28V, with 8A maximum load current. The LTC4020 contains a high efficiency
synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller, and uses a
proprietary average current mode architecture.
The LTC4020 battery charger can provide a constantcurrent/constant-voltage charge algorithm (JP1: CC/CV,

PARAMETER
with mode pin grounded), constant-current charging (JP1:
CC, with mode pin floated), or charging with an optimized
4-step, 3-stage lead-acid battery charge profile (JP1: leadacid, with mode pin connected to INTVCC).
The LTC4020 data sheet gives a complete description of the
IC operation and application information. The data sheet
must be read in conjunction with this quick start guide.

DEMO MANUAL DC2134A
Quick Start Procedure
Demonstration circuit 2134A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC4020. Refer to Figure 1 for
the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
1.With power off, connect the input power supply (set
for 0V) to VIN and GND (input return).
2.Connect the converter output load between Vout and
GND (Initial load: no load).
3.Connect the DVMs to the input and outputs.
4.Turn on the input power supply and slowly increase
to 24V. Check for the proper output voltages, VOUT of
25.2V and BAT of 25.2V.
5.Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust
the converter output load within the operating range (8A
maximum) and/or adjust input voltage (15V to 55V), and
observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage,
efficiency and other parameters.
Note: When measuring the output or input voltage ripple, do not use the long ground lead on the oscilloscope
probe. See Figure 2 for the proper scope probe technique.
Short, stiff leads need to be soldered to the (+) and (–)
terminals of an output capacitor. The probe’s ground ring
needs to touch the (–) lead and the probe tip needs to
touch the (+) lead.

Additional Notes:
1.CAUTION: Be careful when testing with high voltage.
High voltage can result in an electric shock if care is
not taken.
2.CAUTION: Batteries are potentially dangerous high
energy sources. Improper connection, overcharge, or
rapid discharge could result in explosion and/or file.
Please read the specification/manual of the battery
before test.
3.The combined converter output load current and battery charging current should not exceed 8A.
4.Without a proper battery, BAT output can be open or
connected with other suitable loads for test purposes.
It may be a good practice to add low ESR electrolytic
capacitors to the BAT output (≥1000µF at ≥35V, for
25.2V float voltage).
Note: These capacitors help simulate the low impedance
of a battery and maintain stability of the charge current
loop. It’s only needed for test purposes with electronic
or resistive loads, and not needed in the actual battery
application/test (where the BAT load is a battery).
5.BAT float voltage can be easily adjusted with the resistor divider R8/R10. Converter output voltage VOUT can
be adjusted with the resistor divider R9/R11. Adjust/
optimize the loop compensations if necessary.
