DEMO MANUAL DC2236A-A
LTC3890-2
60V, Low IQ Multiphase Synchronous
Step-Down Converter
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2236A-A is a high output voltage,
high efficiency synchronous PolyPhase® buck converter
featuring the LTC®3890EUH-2. The DC2236A-A has a wide
input voltage range of 16V up to 60V, and is capable of
delivering up to 25A of output current. The output voltage
is set to 12V, however, the output voltage can go as high
as 24V, with certain modifications. The DC2236A-A supports three operation modes: Fixed frequency modulation,
pulse-skipping and Burst Mode® operation. Fixed frequency
mode of operation maximizes the output current, reduces
output voltage ripple, and yields a low noise switching
spectrum. Burst Mode employs a variable frequency
switching algorithm that minimizes the no-load input
quiescent current and improves efficiency at light loads.
The DC2236A-A consumes less than 50µA of quiescent
current during shutdown and less than 1mA under a no
load condition with the output in regulation in Burst Mode
operation. The DC2236A-A has a standard operating
frequency of 150kHz, but can be adjusted to frequencies
as high as 900kHz. The DC2236A is a dual phase single
output step-down converter; however it is designed to be
easily transformed to a 4- or 6- phase system by combining two or three DC2236A-A boards. The LTC3890EUH-2
data sheet gives a complete description of these parts,
operation and application information and must be read
in conjunction with this quick start guide for demonstration circuit 2236A-A. Table 1 summarizes the differences
between the parts in the LTC3890 family.

DEMO MANUAL DC2236A-A
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 2236A-A is easy to set up to
evaluate the performance of the LTC3890-2. For proper
measurement equipment configuration, set up the circuit
according to the diagram in Figure 1. Before proceeding
to test, insert shunt into JP1 (RUN) OFF position, which
connects the RUN pin to ground (GND), and thus, shuts
down the circuit.
NOTE: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,
care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the
oscilloscope probe. Measure the input or output voltage
ripple by touching the probe tip directly across the VIN or
VOUT and GND terminals. See Figure 2 for proper scope
probe technique.
1.With the DC2236A-A set up according to the proper
measurement and equipment in Figure 1, apply 20V at
VIN. Measure VOUT; it should read 0V. If desired, one
can measure the shutdown supply current at this point.
The supply current will be approximately 50µA, or less,
in shutdown.
2.Turn on the circuit by inserting the shunt in header JP1
(RUN) into the ON position. The output voltage should
be regulating. Measure VOUT – it should measure 12V
± 2% (Do not apply more than the rated maximum
voltage of 60V to the board or the part may be damaged).
3.Vary the converter load, which should not exceed 25A.
Note: all four input and output terminals VIN, VOUT and
two GND equipped with two banana connectors, twowires can be used for each terminal to reduce copper
looses and heat dissipation in the interconnection lines.
4.Vary the input voltage from 16V to 55V, the VOUT – it
should measure 12V ± 2%
5.Set output current to zero and move jumper JP2 (MODE)
into BURST MODE position and measure VOUT – it
should register 12V ± 2%.
6.Set output current to zero and move jumper JP2 (MODE)
into PLS SKIP position and measure VOUT – it should
register 12V ± 2%
