LINER LTC3121EDE High efficiency 15v 1.5a synchronous step-up converter Datasheet

DEMO MANUAL DC2372A
LTC3121EDE
High Efficiency 15V 1.5A
Synchronous Step-Up Converter
Description
Demonstration circuit 2372A is a 5.5V input, 12V output
at 400mA DC/DC power supply featuring the LTC®3121.
The IC includes internal high and low side 1.5A switches
and features selectable PWM or Burst Mode® operation
for high efficiency at low output current. The board operates from an input voltage as low as 1.8V and continues
to operate down to 500mV once started. The output is
fixed at 12V although other voltages between 2.2V and
15V can be selected by resistor changes.
The IC includes soft-start and input current limit, adjustable switching frequency with the ability to synchronize
to an external clock, and output overvoltage protection
with output disconnect.
Performance Summary
PARAMETER
Included on the board are jumpers for ON/OFF and operating MODE, PWM or BURST. Terminals are included for
connecting VIN and VOUT as well as ON/OFF and SYNC.
The LTC3121 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
This Demonstration circuit 2372A can be evaluated using
the setup shown in Figure 1.
1. Connect voltmeters to VIN and VOUT, select upper positions for jumper JP1 (ON) and JP2 (PWM).
2. With input power supply set for 0V, connect the supply
to VIN and GND terminals.
3. Slowly increase the input power supply to 1.8V. Observe
output voltage and verify that it meets the specifications
in the Performance Summary table.

Power Supply
4. Connect a suitable load resistor or active load to the
output terminals and verify that it meets specifications
in the Performance Summary table.
5. Use a scope to monitor the output voltage ripple in
both PWM mode and Burst Mode operation by moving
the mode jumper JP2 to the appropriate position. See
Figure 4 for correct method for evaluating output ripple.
6. Note: If jumper JP2 is set for Burst Mode operation,
maximum output current is limited to approximately
100mA at 5VIN.
