DC2005A - Demo Manual

DEMO MANUAL DC2005A
LTC3624EDD
High Efficiency Synchronous Step-Down
Regulator with Ultralow Quiescent Current
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC2005A is a synchronous stepdown regulator using an LTC®3624 monolithic buck
regulator. The DC2005A operates from an input voltage
range of 2.7V to 17V and provides an adjustable output
voltage range from 1.2V to 5V (VOUT < VIN) at 2A of output
current. A user-selectable mode input is provided to allow
the user to trade off ripple noise for light load efficiency.
Burst Mode® operation provides the highest efficiency at
light load, while pulse-skipping mode provides the lowest
voltage ripple. The MODE pin can also be used to sync the
switching frequency to an external clock.
The switching frequency is fixed at 1MHz or 2.25MHz
with a ±40% synchronizing range. The regulator features
ultralow quiescent current and high efficiency over a wide
VOUT range.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
PARAMETER
The DC2005A uses very low profile surface mount components and all ceramic output capacitors. The compact
8-lead DFN (3mm × 3mm) package makes the LTC3624 an
excellent choice for battery-powered equipment, general
purpose step-down power supply, and emergency radio
applications.
It is recommended to read the data sheet and demo manual
of the LTC3624 prior using or making any changes to
DC2005A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit DC2005A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC3624. Please refer to Figure1
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
1.Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical
5V output application:

5.0V
2.With power off, connect the input power supply at VIN
(E1) and GND (E2).
3.Connect the load between VOUT (E8) and GND (E9).
Preset the load to 0A.
4.Connect the DMMs to the input and output to monitor
the input voltage and output voltage.
5.Turn on the power supply at the input. The RUN pin
jumper should be at ON position. Measure and make
sure the input supply voltage is 12V. The output voltage
should be 5V ±2%.
7.To select other output voltages, use the on board user
selectable output voltage jumpers. Shutting down
LTC3624 by placing RUN pin jumper (JP1) to the OFF
position or turn off the input power supply. Refer to the
following table (Table 2) for the output voltage selection
and repeat steps 2 to 6:

*User Select
* Note: If JP8 is selected, R6 needs to be calculated and inserted to
obtain the desired output voltage.
Note 1: To measure the input/output voltage ripple properly, do not use the long ground lead on the oscilloscope
probe. See Figure 2 for the proper scope probe technique.
Short, stiff leads need to be soldered to the (+) and (–)
terminals of an output capacitor. The probe’s ground ring
needs to touch the (–) lead and the probe tip needs to
touch the (+) lead.
Note 2: The DC2005A can also be used to evaluate LTC3624‑2 (2.25MHz) by simply changing U1 to
LTC3624‑2 and L1 to 1.5µH (Coilcraft XAL4020-152ME).
6.Once the input and output voltages are properly established adjust the loads within the operating range
(0A to 2A max) and observe the output voltage regulation, output ripple voltage, switch node waveform and
other parameters. Refer to Figure 2 for proper input/
output voltage ripple measurement.
