DEMO MANUAL DC1922A
LTC3129
15V, 200mA Synchronous Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter
with 1.3µA Quiescent Current
Description
Demonstration Circuit 1922A features the LTC®3129, a
high efficiency 200mA buck-boost DC/DC converter with
a wide VIN and VOUT range.
output applications, or to allow operation with VIN down
to 1.92V. Consult the data sheet for more information on
these options.
The DC1922A demo board has two user selectable operating modes: Burst Mode® Operation and Fixed Frequency
PWM (JP3). There is also an accurate programmable
RUN pin which is used to ENABLE the converter (JP1).
The LTC3129 also incorporates a maximum power point
control function which can be enabled (JP2) for applications
where the input source is a solar cell or is high impedance,
such as intrinsically safe applications or high ZOUT thermal
electric generators (TEGs).
The DC1922A demo board also incorporates a connector
(J1) which can be used to connect to a Dust Networks
Mote demo board.
The DC1922A operates with a 2.42V to 15V input voltage
range, and has been designed with the output voltage set
to 5.0V. Once the converter is started the LTC3129 can
operate with VIN as low as 1.92V provided VCC is backfed. The demo board has optional provisions to backfeed VCC (D1) in order to increase efficiency in some 5V
Performance Summary
Figure 1 shows typical demo board efficiency and Figure 2
shows typical step response.
The LTC3129 data sheet has detailed information about
the operation, specification, and applications of the part.
The data sheet should be read in conjunction with this
quick start guide.

Quick Start Procedure
Using short twisted pair leads for any power connections
and with all loads and power supplies off, refer to Figure 3
for the proper measurement and equipment setup. The
power supply (PS1) should not be connected to the circuit
until told to do so in the procedure below.
7. Load current (IOUT) can also be varied. The maximum
IOUT is a function of VIN and the current limit. Consult
the data sheet for more information on IOUT vs VIN.
In general for VIN > VOUT IOUT can be increased to
200mA. For VIN < VOUT IOUT capability will be reduced.
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 4), or by using an oscilloscope probe tip jack.
8. For operation in fixed frequency (PWM) mode move
Jumper JP3 to FIXED FREQ. See the data sheet for
more information on Burst Mode operation.
1. Jumper, PS1 and LOAD settings to start:
For USE with a Solar Cells/MPPC:
PS1 = OFF
JP1 (RUN) = ON
JP2 (MPPC) = OFF
JP3 (PWM) = BURST MODE OPERATION
JP4 (DUST PWR) = NC
2. With power OFF connect the power supply (PS1) as
shown in Figure 3. If accurate current measurements
are desired (for efficiency calculations for example)
then connect an ammeter (AM1) in series with the supply as shown. The ammeter is not required however.
3. Connect a 50mA load to VOUT as shown in Figure 3
(100Ω for VOUT = 5V). Connect an ammeter (AM2) if
accurate current measurement or monitoring is desired.
4. Turn on PS1 and slowly increase voltage until the
voltage at VIN is 4.0V.
5. Verify VOUT is ~5.0V.
6. VIN can now be varied between 2.42V and 15.0V.
VOUT should remain in regulation.
9. NOTE: If VOUT drops out of regulation, check to be
sure that VIN is not below the minimum value for
regulation (see data sheet).
10. With power OFF move jumper MPPC (JP2) to ON.
11. If using a power supply as the source, place a minimum of 10Ω, 10W resistor in series with the input to
simulate the source resistance. If using a solar cell (s)
or high impedance source, no additional resistance
should be needed.
12. Set resistor R9 to a value which will set the MPPC
pin to the desired voltage. See the data sheet section
“Programming the MPPC Voltage” for more information.
13. With no load and the MPPC voltage set, increase the
source voltage above the MPPC set point. VOUT should
be in regulation. As the load is increased VIN will drop
until it reaches the MPPC set voltage. As the load is
increased further, VOUT will drop out of regulation,
but VIN will be regulated to the set point voltage. This
is to prevent the input source from collapsing and to
allow the maximum power to be extracted from the
source.
14. Consult the data sheet for more information on
maximum power point control (MPPC) operation.

Quick Start Procedure
For USE with a DUST Networks MOTE demo board:
15. Connector J1 is designed to interface with a Dust
Networks Mote demo board. Consult the Dust
documentation for optimal VOUT regulation setting.
In general the Dust Networks Mote will operate with
VOUT set to 3.3V. However, care should be taken to
not overvoltage the Mote. Newer Motes may require
a different VOUT. The DC1922A demo board can be
configured for different VOUT voltages by simply
changing R2.
17. Once the output voltage has been set to the proper
voltage and with the power supply OFF connect
DC1922A to the Dust Networks Mote demo board
using J1. See Figure 5 and 6 for the proper connections and orientation. Move jumper JP4 to VOUT.
18. Once the boards have been connected, turn on PS1
and increase the voltage to approximately 3V. VOUT
should now be in regulation. VIN can now be varied
over the operating range and VOUT should remain in
regulation.
16. The DC1922A demo board can be configured for
VOUT = 3.3V by changing resistor R2 to 1.1M for
R1 = 2M.
