DC2057A - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC2057A
LTC3638EMSE
High Efficiency, High VIN,
250mA Step-Down Converter
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2057A is a high input voltage, 250mA
output DC/DC power supply featuring the LTC®3638. The
IC operates with high efficiency Burst Mode® operation
and includes an internal high side power MOSFET. The
board will accept an input voltage between 4V and 140V,
and provide jumper selected output voltages of 1.8V,
3.3V, 5V with an option for additional voltages. The IC
includes internal soft-start and a provision for increasing
soft-start time.
Included on the board is an ON/OFF jumper that can
also be configured as a precision undervoltage lockout.
Additional PC pads are included for programming current
limit to optimize efficiency and for reducing output voltage
ripple and reducing component size. A terminal (FBO)
is included to allow multiple boards to be paralleled for
higher output current.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
PARAMETER
Output voltages between 800mV and VIN can be programmed using optional resistors (higher voltage rating
output capacitors may be required).
The LTC3638 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.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 2057A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC3638. Refer to Figure 1 for
the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
7.With power off, move jumpers JP1 and JP2 to the other
fixed voltage settings (1.8V or 3.3V). Repeat steps 5
and 6. Check for the proper output voltage and other
parameters.
1.With power off, connect the input power supply (set
for 0V) to VIN and GND (input return).
3.Connect the 5V output load between VOUT and GND
(Initial load: no load).
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.
4.Connect the DVMs to the input and outputs.
Additional Notes:
5.Turn on the input power supply and slowly increase to
12V. Check for the proper output voltages. (5V output
should be within 5V ±2%.)
1. CAUTION: Be careful when testing with high voltage.
High voltage can result in an electric shock if care
is not taken.
6.Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust
the loads within the operating range and observe the
output voltage regulation, ripple voltage and other
parameters.
2. For 5V output, VIN input voltage should be at least 5V
or higher.
2.Select 5V output using jumper JP1 (B position) and
JP2 (A position). Select ON position for JP3.
