DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1460A is a high efficiency stepdow n converter featuring the LTC3620EDC w ith internal
high side and synchronous pow er sw itches that draw s
only 18µA of quiescent current. It has an internal frequency clamp that forces a minimum sw itching frequency at light loads to minimize noise in the audio
range. Its input volt-age ranges betw een 2.9V and 5.5V.
If the input voltage falls below 2.8V, an undervoltage
lockout circuit w illshut dow n the part. The demo circuit
provides selectable jumper outputs for 1.1V, 1.2V and
1.8V. The output can supply up to 15mA of load current. G erber files for this circuit are available. Call the
LTC Factory.

Q U ICK STA RT PROCEDU RE
The DC1460A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LTC3620EDC. For a proper measurement
equipment configuration, set up the circuit according to
the diagram in Figure 2.
N O TE. W hen measuring the input or output voltage ripple, care must be
taken to avoid a long ground lead on the oscilloscope probe. M easure the
input or output voltage ripple by touching the probe tip di-rectly across the
VIN or VO U T and G N D terminals. See the M easurement Equipment Set-up
diagram in Figure 1 for proper scope probe technique.
Please follow the procedure outlined below for proper
operation.
1. Connect the input pow er supply to the VIN and G N D
terminals. Connect the load betw een the VO U T and
G N D terminals. R efer to Figure 2 for the proper
measurement equipment setup.
2. Before proceeding to operation, insert jumper shunt
XJP1 into the O FF position and insert a shunt jumper
into JP2, JP3 or JP4 for voltages of 1.8V, 1.2V or
1.1V respectively. Set the load output current to
12ma.
3. Apply 3.6V at VIN . M easure VO U T; it should read 0V.
If desired, one can measure the shutdow n supply
current at this point. The supply current w ill be
about <1 µA in shutdow n. Set the load output current
back to 0mA.
4. Turn on VO U T by changing shunt XJP1 from the O FF
position to the O N position. The output voltage
should measure according to the voltage set by the
shunt jumper in JP2.
5. Set the load output current to 5mA. Vary the input
voltage from 3.0V to 5.5V and VO U T should be
w ithin a tolerance of ± 0.38% .

6. Set the input voltage to 3.6V. Vary the VO U T load
current from 1mA to 12mA, and the output voltage
should be w ithin a tolerance of ± 0.5% (typical). As
the load is varied, there should not be any audible
noise generated by the demo circuit.
Warning. If the power for the demo board is carried in long leads,
the input voltage at the part could “ring”, which could affect the
operation of the circuit or even exceed the maximum voltage rating
of the IC. To eliminate the ringing, insert an electrolytic capacitor
(for instance, Panasonic part # EEAFC1A220 (22µF/10V) on the pads
between the input power and return terminals on the bottom of the
demo board. The (greater) ESR of the electrolytic will dampen the
(possible) ringing voltage due to the use of long input leads. On a
normal, typical PCB, with short traces, the capacitor is not needed.

INDU CTOR COM PA RISON
Demonstration circuit 1460A comes w ith a standard
inductor (Coilcraft LPS3010-223M L) optimized for size
and efficiency. For handheld applications requiring
minimal board area, this inductor can be replaced w ith
a small surface mount 0603 package inductor, for ex-
ample, the Taiyo-Yuden CBM F1608T220K. Figure 3
show s the inductor size comparison on the demonstration board w hile Figure 4 show s the efficiency performance of these tw o inductors.
