DC736A - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC736A
LT3724
High Voltage Current Mode
Step-Down Converter
Description
Demonstration Circuit 736A is a 200kHz high voltage,
current-mode DC/DC step-down converter featuring the
LT®3724.
The circuit operates from a VIN range of 30V to 55V and
outputs 24V at 3A (72W). A soft-start feature controls
the output voltage slew rate at start-up, reducing current
surges and voltage overshoots. Burst Mode® operation
that improves the efficiency at light loads can be enabled
with a jumper.
An optional boost bias circuit is provided on the bottom
side of the board for back-driving the LT3724 internal
regulator from the output voltage. Customers might want
to use this optional circuit with modified applications that
have relatively high input voltages and low (~5V) output
voltages. In such applications, the optional circuit can
increase the overall efficiency by reducing the power lost
Performance Summary
PARAMETER
This circuit is suitable for a wide range of Industrial control
systems and particularly suitable for 12V/42V automotive
applications and 48V Telecom power supplies.
The LT3724 data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and application information. The data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual.

layed out with the option for a second switching MOSFET
to facilitate higher output currents. The circuit design can
be modified for a boost converter configuration.

Quick Start Procedure
DC736A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of
the LT3724. Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement
equipment setup and follow the procedure below:
5.Turn on the power at the input and adjust the input
voltage until the LT3724 turns on.
NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed
55V.
NOTE: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,
care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the oscilloscope probe. See Figure 2 for the proper scope technique.
6.Check for the proper output voltage.
NOTE: If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the
load to make sure that the load is not set too high or
is shorted.
1.Place JP1 in the RUN position.
2.Place JP2 in the desired operating mode: fixed frequency
or Burst Mode operation.
7.Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the
input voltage and load within the operating range and
observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage,
efficiency and other parameters.
3.With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
and GND.
4.With power off, connect the load to VOUT and GND.
