DEMO MANUAL DC1700A
LTC3613EWKH
Fast, High Efficiency
Step-Down Regulator
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1700A is a fast, high efficiency
synchronous buck DC/DC converter with 4.5V to 24V
input range. It can supply 15A maximum load current at
1.5V output. The demo board features the LTC®3613EWKH
regulator. No external MOSFETs are required. The controlled on-time constant frequency valley current mode
architecture allows for both fast transient response and
constant frequency switching in steady-state operation.
Differential output voltage sensing along with a precision
internal reference combine to offer an accurate output
regulation. The LTC3613 is ideal for applications such
as distributed power systems, servers and point-of-load
converters. The LTC3613EWKH is in a 7mm × 9mm 54-pin
QFN package.
The light load operation mode of the converter is determined with the MODE/PLLIN pin. Use JP2 jumper to
select discontinuous mode (DCM) or forced continuous
mode (CCM) operation. Switching frequency is pre-set
at about 350kHz. This frequency can be modified from
200kHz to 1MHz by changing the value of a resistor (R18).
The converter can also be externally synchronized from
200kHz to 1MHz through the MODE/PLLIN pin (PLLIN
terminal on the board). To shut down the converter, one
simple way is to force the RUN pin below 1.1V (JP1: OFF).
The power good output (PGOOD terminal) is low when the
output voltage is outside of the ±7.5% regulation window.

DEMO MANUAL DC1700A
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1700A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC3613. Refer to Figure 1 for
the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
5. 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.
1. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
(4.5V to 24V) and GND (input return).
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.
2. Connect the 1.5V 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 check for the proper
output voltages. VOUT should be 1.5V ±2%.
