DC441A - Demo Manual

QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 441
1.25A SYNCHRONOUS BUCK REGULATOR
LTC3411
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 441 is a constant-frequency stepdown converter, using the LTC3411 monolithic synchronous buck regulator. The DC441 has an input voltage
range of 2.65V to 5.5V, and is capable of delivering up to
1.25A of output current. In Burst Mode operation, the
DC supply current is typically only 240µA at no load, and
less than 1µA in shutdown. In switching-noise sensitive
applications, pulling the MODE pin to SGND inhibits
Burst Mode operation. These features, plus the
LTC3411 coming in a small 10-Pin MS package and having an operating frequency of 1MHz (allowing the exclusive use of low profile surface mount components),
make the DC441 demo board an ideal circuit for use in
battery-powered, hand-held applications.
Design files for this circuit board are available. Call
the LTC factory.
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 441 is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC3411. Refer to Figure 1 for
proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
NOTE: When measuring the output ripple, see Figure 2
for proper scope probe technique.
1. Select the desired output voltage using jumper JP2.
The fixed output voltages are 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V (as
shown). There is also an option to set the output voltage to a custom value by inserting a resistor into the
RFB5 pads next to jumper JP2.
2. Connect the input power supply to the Vin and GND
plug Vin or increase Vin over the rated maximum
supply voltage of 5.5V, or the part may be damaged.
3. Connect the load between the Vout and GND termi-
nals on the right-side of the board.
4. Select the desired operating mode using JP1. To se-
lect pulse-skipping mode, tie to ground by inserting
the jumper into the rightmost position. Inserting the
jumper into the leftmost position connects the pin to
Vin, which allows Burst Mode operation.
5. To shut down the circuit, connect the SHDN/RT pin to
SVIN by inserting the JP3 jumper into the rightmost
position.
terminals on the left-side of the board. Do not hot-
