DC1821A - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC1821A
LTC3114EDHC-1
40V, 1A Synchronous Buck-Boost DC/DC
Converter with Output Current Limit
Description
Demonstration Circuit 1821A features the LTC®3114-1, a
wide operating range synchronous monolithic buck-boost
converter with programmable average output current.
In PWM mode, the LTC3114-1 operates at 1.2MHz to
optimize small size with high efficiency operation.
The DC1821A demo board has two user selectable operating modes: Burst Mode® and Fixed Frequency PWM (JP2).
There is also an accurate programmable RUN pin which
is used to ENABLE the converter (JP1).
The demo board also incorporates diode D1 to back-feed
VCC to improve efficiency in some applications. If the
demo board output voltage is changed to a higher voltage, D1 should be removed. Consult the data sheet for
more information.
The LTC3114-1 uses average current mode control to
simplify voltage loop compensation and provide good line
and load transient response.
Figure 1 shows typical demo board efficiency. Figure 2
shows the response to an input voltage step while Figure 3
shows the load step response.
The DC1821A operates with a 2.7V to 40V input voltage range. The demo board has been designed with the
output voltage set to 5V. The LTC3114-1 incorporates a
proprietary low noise switching algorithm which optimizes
efficiency with input voltages above, below or equal to the
output voltage and ensures seamless transitions between
operating modes.
The LTC3114-1 data sheet has detailed information about
the operation, specifications, 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 4
for the proper measurement and equipment setup. The
battery/power supply (PS1) should not be connected to
the circuit until told to do so in the procedure below.
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 5), or by using an oscilloscope probe tip jack.
1. Jumper and PS1 settings to start:
PS1:
OFF
JP1:
RUN
ON
JP2:
MODE
FIXED FREQUENCY
2. With power OFF connect the power supply (PS1) as
shown in Figure 4. If accurate current measurements
are desired (for efficiency calculations for example)
connect an ammeter in series with the supply as shown.
The ammeter is not required however.
3. Connect a 500mA load to VOUT as shown in Figure 4
(10Ω for VOUT = 5V). Connect an ammeter if accurate
current measurement or monitoring is desired.
4. Turn on PS1 and slowly increase voltage until the voltage at VIN is 4V.
5. Verify VOUT is ~5V.
6. VIN can now be varied between 2.7V and 40V. IOUT
may need to be reduced for VIN < 4V VOUT should
remain in regulation.
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 > 5V IOUT can be increased to 1A.
8. For operation in BURST Mode move Jumper JP2 to
BURST. See the data sheet for more information.
9. NOTE: If VOUT drops out of regulation, check to be
sure the maximum load has not been exceeded, or that
VIN is not below the minimum value for regulation (see
data sheet)
10.NOTE: If VOUT is changed to a voltage higher than
5V, D1 should be removed or the LTC3114-1 could
be damaged.
