DEMO MANUAL DC2359A
LTC3624
High Efficiency Synchronous
Step-Down Regulator with
Ultralow Quiescent Current
Description
Demonstration circuit 2359A is a synchronous step-down
regulator using LTC®3624HMSE monolithic buck regulator.
The DC2359A operates from an input voltage range of 2.7V
to 17V and provides and adjustable output voltage range
from 1.2V to 5V (VOUT < VIN) at 2A of continuous output
current. A user-selectable mode input is provided with
the following options: Burst Mode® operation provides
the highest efficiency at light loads, while Pulse-Skipping
mode (PS) provides the lowest output voltage ripples.
Forced Continuous mode (FC) is also available for low
EMI and noise interference.
The MODE/SYNC pin can also be used to synchronize
the switching frequency to an external clock signal. The
switching frequency is fixed at 1MHz with a ±40% sync
capture range.
The regulator features ultralow quiescent current and high
efficiencies over a wide VIN and VOUT range. DC2359A
Performance Summary
PARAMETER
uses very low profile surface mount components and all
ceramic output capacitor solutions. The compact 12-lead
MSE (5mm × 4mm × 1mm) thermally enhanced package
makes LTC3624HMSE an excellent choice for battery
powered equipment, emergency radio and general purpose step-down power supplies. The H-Grade version is
specified over an operating junction temperature range
of –40°C to 150°C, typically required for automotive, industrial and military applications that are subject to high
ambient temperatures.
It is recommended to read the data sheet and demo manual
of LTC3624 prior using or making any changes to DC2359A.

Quick Start Procedure
Demonstration circuit 2359A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC3624HMSE. Please refer to
Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow the procedure below:
1.Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical
5V output application:

7.To select other output voltages, use the on board user
selectable output voltage jumpers. Shutting down
LTC3624HMSE 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 step 2 to 6.

*If JP8 is selected, R6 needs to be calculated and inserted to obtain the
desired output voltage.
4.Connect the DMMs to the input and output to monitor
the input voltage and 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.
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%.
NOTE 2: The DC2359A can also be used to evaluate the
LTC3624HMSE-2 (2.25MHz) by simply replacing U1 with
the LTC3624HMSE-2 and changing inductor L1 to 1.5µH
(Coilcraft XAL4020-152ME).
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.
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 voltage ripple, switch node waveform and
other parameters. Refer to Figure 2 for proper output
voltage ripple measurement.
