DC2173A - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC2173A
LTC3769
60VIN, Low IQ Synchronous
Boost Controller
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC2173A is a DC/DC synchronous
boost converter featuring the LTC®3769 constant frequency
current mode synchronous boost controller. The DC2173A
generates a 48V output voltage and provides 1.5A to 6A
of output current.
1.Directly from the input voltage
The 150kHz constant switching frequency operation results
in a small and efficient circuit.
The onboard low power bias supply, based on LTC3630
high efficiency, 65V 500mA synchronous step-down converter provides a stable 10V bias voltage, which increases
the overall efficiency at high input voltages.
This board operates over a wide 6V to 60V input voltage range, has a 28µA quiescent current during standby
mode, and has a low power onboard bias supply along
with adjustable current limit. The user can select Burst
Mode® operation, pulse skipping, or continuous conduction
mode at light loads via an onbourd jumper. This converter
provides high output voltage accuracy (typically ±3%) over
the entire load and temperature range.
The DC2173A supports the following methods for biasing
the LTC3769 onboard controller as follows:
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
2.With the onboard low power bias supply
3.From the output voltage after start-up
4.Connecting to an external voltage source
The DC2173A has a small circuit footprint and is a high
performance, cost effective solution for telecom, automotive and Power over Ethernet applications.

DEMO MANUAL DC2173A
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 2173A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LTC3769 controllers. Refer to
Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow the procedure below:
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 Figure 2 for proper scope
probe technique.
1.Place jumper RUN (J2) in ON position, place jumper
MODE (JP1) in PULSE SKIP position.
2.Place jumper AUX (JP4) in ON position.
3.Place jumper OVP (JP3) in OFF position.
4.With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
and GND.
Turn the input power source on and slowly increase the
input voltage. Be careful not to exceed 60V.
NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage VIN does not exceed 60V. If higher operating voltage is required, power
components with higher voltage ratings should be used.
4.Check for the proper output voltage of 48V. If there
is no output, temporarily disconnect the load to make
sure that the load is not set too high.
To synchronize DC2173A with external clock insert jumper
MODE (JP1) in BURST position and apply clock signals
to terminal CLKIN (E12).
DC2173A Bias Circuits
The demo board DC2173A shipped to be biased from the
internal low power bias supply based on LTC3630. It’s
accomplished by populating R42, which connect output
of auxiliary power supply to VBIAS. If input or output
voltages are desired as a bias source, then resistors R31
or R32 should be installed, instead of R42. Another possibility is to use external power source, by connecting it
to terminal EXTVCC (E13). Please refer to LTC3769 data
sheet for details. On board low power converter can be
disabled by placing jumper AUX (JP4) in OFF position.
Converter Efficiency
DC2173A exceeds 96% efficiency at 12V input voltage
generating 48V at 3A, see Figure 3. DC2173A delivers 3A
of output current at 12V input; however output current
changes in a range from 1.5A to 6A depending on input
voltage. Figure 4 demonstrates maximum output current,
as function of input voltage, assuming 48V output voltage.
All measurements were conducted at room temperature,
natural convection cooling with no air flow.
5.Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust
the load within the operating range and observe the
output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and
other parameters.
