DC1129A - Demo Manual

QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 1129A
SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN DC/DC CONVERTER
LTC3610EWP
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC1129A is a synchronous step
down converter featuring the LTC®3610, the high efficiency, high density DC/DC regulator. The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 24V. The output voltage is
jumper selectable from 1.2V to 2.5V. The rated load
current is 12A. The regulator includes the controller
and power MOSFETs in the 9mm by 9 mm QFN package.
The constant on time valley mode current control structure delivers very low duty cycle with excellent load
transient response. The MSFET RDS(on) sensing
eliminates external sensing resistor and improves supply efficiency.
Discontinuous mode operation and continuous mode at
light load is also jumper selectable. A forced continuous
control reduces noise and RF interference while discontinuous control provides high efficiency at light loads.
Design files for this circuit board are available.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit DC1129A is easy to set up to
evaluate the performance of the LTC3610. Please refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment
setup and follow the procedure below:
1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a
typical 1.5VOUT application:

Preliminary
2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load and meters as shown in Figure 1.
Preset the load to 0A and Vin supply to be
less than 24V.
3. Turn on the power at the input. The output
voltage should be 1.5V ± 2%.
4. Once the proper output voltage is established,
adjust the load within the operating range and
observe the output voltage regulation, ripple
voltage, efficiency and other parameters.
Output ripple should be measured across the
output bulk capacitor as shown in Figure 2.
5. For optional load transient test, apply adjustable pulse signal between IOSTEP CLK and
GND pins. Pulse amplitude sets the current
