DEMO CIRCUIT 1184A
QUICK START GUIDE
LTC3860EUH
DUAL OUTPUT
SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONVERTER
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC1184A is a dual output voltage
mode synchronous buck converter featuring the
LTC3860EUH. This board provides two outputs of
1.2V/25A and 1.8V/25A from an input voltage of 10V to
14V at a switching frequency of 500kHz. The power
stage consists of the Renesas R2J20602NP which is a
tri-state PWM compatible 8mm x 8mm DrMOS and a
0.47uH 13.2mm x 12.8mm iron powder type inductor
from Wurth. An on-board 5V LT1616 buck regulator
provides the 5V bias for the LTC3860 and the DrMOS.
The demo board uses a high density, two sided drop-in
layout. The power components, excluding the bulk output and input capacitors, fit within a 1.5” x 1.25” area
on the top layer. The control circuit resides in a
0.75” x 0.75” area on the bottom layer. The package
style for the LTC3860EUH is a 32-lead 5mm x 5mm
QFN.
Table 1.
The main features of the board are listed below:
• Differential amplifier for remote sensing VOUT1
which is setup for 1.2V.
• Optional components for single output dual
phase operation.
• CLKIN pin for synchronization to an external
clock which can be used in conjunction with
optional PHSMD resistors and CLKOUT pin for
up to 12-phase operation.
• TRACK/SS pins for external coincident rail
tracking.
• RUN pins and PGOOD pins for each phase.
• For each phase, optional footprints for an
LTC4449 gate driver and two top FETs and two
bottom FETs.
Design files for this circuit board are available. Call
the LTC factory.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1184A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LTC3860EUH. Refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement equipment setup and
follow the procedure below:

Place jumpers in the following positions:

ON
JP2
RUN2
ON
JP3
INT 5V
ON
JP4
+5V SELECT
INT
With power off, connect the input power supply
to VIN and GND. Turn on the power at the input
and increase the input voltage to 10V or higher.
Check for the proper output voltages:
Vout1 = 1.179V to 1.221V
Vout2 = 1.769V to 1.832V
4.
Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust the loads within the operating
range and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and other parameters.
Do not apply load between the VOS1+ and
VOS1- pins or between the VO2+ and VO2- pins. These
pins are only intended to sense the output voltage
across COUT4 and COUT10 respectively. Heavy load
currents applied across these pins may damage the
converter.
Note 1.
Use J9 and J10 to monitor the output voltage ripple. J9 will measure the ripple across COUT2 and
J10 will measure the ripple across COUT8. Connect J9
and J10 to the oscilloscope with a short coaxial cable.
To avoid excessive noise pickup, keep the length of the
cable to a minimum.
Note 2.
SINGLE OUTPUT / DUAL PHASE OPERATION
A single output / dual phase converter may be preferred
for high output current applications. The benefits of
single output / dual phase operation is lower ripple current through the input and output capacitors, improved
load step response and simplified thermal design. To
implement single output / dual phase operation, make
the following modifications:
1. Select phase 1 to be the master and
phase 2 the slave since the differential
amplifier already senses VOUT1.
2. Stuff R16 with 0 Ohms to disable the error
amp for phase 2.
3. Stuff 0 Ohms at R49 to tie COMP1 to
COMP2 and remove the redundant compensation components.
4. Stuff R20 with 0 Ohms.
5. Remove 0 Ohm resistor at R25 to release
IAVG from ground.
6. Stuff C16 with 100pF to filter the IAVG
signal.
7. Stuff R60 with 0 Ohms to tie the two RUN
pins together.
8. Stuff R57 with 0 Ohms to tie the two TRK/SS
pins together.
9. Tie VOUT1 to VOUT2 by tying together the
exposed copper pads on the VOUT
shapes with pieces of heavy copper foil.
