GUIDE
DESCRIPTION
LTC3633
DUAL CHANNEL 3A15V MONOLITHIC
SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN REGULATOR
BOARD
Demonstration circuit DC1347 is a dual output regulator
consisting of two constant-frequency step-down converters, based on the LTC3633 monolithic dual channel synchronous buck regulator. The DC1347 has an input voltage range of 3.6V to 15V, with each regulator capable of
delivering up to 3A of output current. The DC1347 can
operate in either Burst Mode or forced continuous
mode. In shutdown, the DC1347 can run off of less than
15 uA total. The DC1347 is a very efficient circuit: over
90% for either circuit. The LTC3633 comes in a 28 Pin
QFN or leaded package, which each having an exposed
pad on the bottom-side of the IC for better thermal performance. These features, plus a programmable operating
frequency range from 500 kHz to 4 MHz (2 MHz switching frequency with the RT pin connected to INTVcc),
make the DC1347 demo board an ideal circuit for use industrial or distributed power applications. Gerber files
for this circuit are available. Call the LTC Factory.
QUICK START PROCEDURE
The DC1347 is easy to set up to evaluate the
performance of the LTC3633. 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 Vin
and GND terminals. 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 XJP11 into the
ON position (180°out-of-phase) of PHASE
header JP11, shunts XJP3 and XJP4 into the
soft-start (ss) positions of headers JP3 and
JP4, shunt XJP8 into the forced continuous
mode (FCM) position of MODE header JP8,
shunt XJP14 into the 1 MHz position of the frequency (FREQ) header JP14, shunts XJP12
and XJP13 into the external (EXT) compensation positions of headers JP12 and JP13, and
shunt XJP6 into the Vout1 voltage options of
choice of header JP6: 1.2V, 1.5V, or 1.8V, and
a shunt into the Vout2 voltage option of choice:
2.5V (header JP15), 3.3V (header JP5), or 5V
(header JP7).
2. Apply 5.5V at Vin. 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 100
uA 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 voltage from 5.8V (the min.
Vin is dependent on Vout) to 15V, and the load
currents from 0 to 3A. Both output voltages
should be within +/- 4% tolerance.

5.
Set the load current of both outputs to 3A and the input voltage to 15V, and then measure each output ripple voltage (refer to figure 2 for proper measurement technique); they should each measure less than 30 mVAC. Also,
observe the voltage waveform at either switch node (pins 23 & 24 for reg.1 and 13 & 14 for reg.2) of each regulator. The switching frequencies should be between 800 kHz and 1.2 MHz (T = 1.25 us and 0.833 us). To realize 2
MHz operation, change the shunt position on header JP14. In all cases, both switch node waveforms should be
rectangular in shape, and 180°out-of-phase with each other. Change the shunt position on header JP11 to set
the switch waveforms in phase with respect to each other. To operate the ckt.s in Burst Mode, change the
shunt in header JP8 to the Burst Mode position. 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 will dampen the (possible) ringing voltage due to the use of long input leads. On a
normal, typical PCB, with short traces, this capacitor is not needed.
