DC1847A - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC1847A
LTC3607EMSE
Dual 600mA 15V Monolithic
Synchronous Step-Down Regulator Board
Description
Demonstration circuit 1847 is a dual output regulator based
on the LTC®3607 monolithic dual channel synchronous
buck regulator. The DC1847 has an input voltage range of
4.5V to 15V, with each regulator capable of delivering up
to 600mA of output current. The DC1847 can operate in
either Burst Mode® or pulse-skipping mode. In shutdown,
the DC1847 can run off of less than 1µA total. The DC1847
is a very efficient circuit: up to 90%. The DC1847 uses the
16 Pin MSOP LTC3607 package, which has an exposed pad

PARAMETER
on the bottom-side of the IC for good thermal performance.
These features, plus a set operating frequency of 2.25MHz,
make the DC1847 demo board an ideal circuit for use in
industrial, automotive, or distributed power applications.

DEMO MANUAL DC1847A
Quick Start Procedure
Demonstration circuit 1847A The DC1847 is easy to set up
to evaluate the performance of the LTC3607. For a proper
measurement equipment configuration, set up the circuit
according to the diagram in Figure 1.
NOTE: 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 the proper scope probe
technique in figure 2.
Please follow the procedure outlined below for proper
operation.
1.Connect the input power supply to the PVIN1/PVIN2 and
GND terminals (VIN1 and VIN2 are separate nodes but
are connected.). Connect the loads between the VOUT
and GND terminals. Refer to figure 1 for the proper
measurement equipment setup.
Before proceeding to operation, insert jumper shunts
xJP1 and xJP2 into the OFF positions of headers JP1
and JP2, shunt xJP3 into the pulse-skip position of
MODE header JP3, and shunt xJP4 into the VOUT1
voltage options of choice of header JP4: 1.2V, 1.5V, or
1.8V, and shunt xJP5 into the VOUT2 voltage options of
choice of header JP5: 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V.
2.Apply 5.5V at PVIN1 or PVIN2 turret. Measure both VOUTs;
they should read 0V. If desired, one can measure the
shutdown supply current at this point. The supply current will be less than 1µA in shutdown.
3.Turn on VOUT1 and VOUT2 by shifting shunts xJP1 and
xJP2 from the OFF positions to the ON positions. Both
output voltages should be within a tolerance of ±2%.
4.Vary the input voltages from 5.8V (the min. VIN is dependent on VOUT) to 15V, and the load currents from
0 to 600 mA. Both output voltages should be within
±4% tolerance.
5.Set the load current of both outputs to 600mA and the
input voltages to 12V, and then measure each output
ripple voltage (refer to figure 2 for proper measurement
technique); they should each measure less than 20
mVAC. Also, observe the voltage waveform at either
switch node (pin 5 for reg.1 and pin 8 for reg.2) of each
regulator. The switching frequency should be about
2.25MHz ±20% (period between 370ns and 555ns).
Both switch node waveforms should be rectangular in
shape, and 180° out-of-phase with each other.
6.For Burst Mode operation, change the shunt position
of header JP3 to Burst Mode.
7.Regulators 1 (PVIN1) and 2 (PVIN2) are completely separated from each other; thus, they can be powered from
different individual input supplies (if R11 is removed),
as can the signal input supply, SVIN. However, SVIN
must powered for either regulator to function (SVIN is
connected to PVIN1 through a filter on the demo board.).
When finished, insert shunts xJP1 and xJP2 to the OFF
position(s) and disconnect the power.
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, A SMALL TANTALUM CAPACITOR
(FOR INSTANCE, AVX PART# TPSY226M035R0200) IS INSERTED ON THE PADS BETWEEN THE INPUT POWER
AND RETURN TERMINALS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DEMO BOARD. THE (GREATER) ESR OF THE TANTALUM
CAPACITOR WILL DAMPEN THE (POSSIBLE) RINGING VOLTAGE CAUSED BY THE LONG INPUT LEADS. ON A
NORMAL, TYPICAL PCB, WITH SHORT TRACES, THIS CAPACITOR IS NOT NEEDED.
