DEMO MANUAL DC2172A
LTC7138
High Efficiency, High VIN,
Step-Down Regulator
Description
Demonstration circuit 2172A is a high input voltage, 400mA
step-down regulator featuring the LTC7138. The output of
the regulator can be programmed for either 5V, 3.3V or
1.8V with on-board jumpers or is adjustable from 800mV
to VIN using an optional feedback divider. The input voltage
range is from 4V to 140V. The LTC7138’s Burst Mode®
operation, low quiescent current and internal top FET
switch provide high efficiency over a wide range of loads.
Other features include:
• Optional components to adjust the current limit, make it
proportional to VIN or improve the efficiency and reduce
the output voltage ripple.
• FBO turret to tie two or more LTC7138 regulators together if the application requires more load current.
• Optional UVLO and OVLO divider.
• External/internal soft-start.
For more details, refer to the LTC7138 data sheet. The
LTC7138 data sheet gives a complete description of the
IC operation and application information. The data sheet
must be read in conjunction with this quick start guide.

DEMO MANUAL DC2172A
Quick Start Procedure
Demonstration circuit 2172A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC7138. Please refer to Figure 1
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below.
Note 1. CAUTION: The maximum input voltage of the
DC2172A is 140V. Voltages of 140V or lower are high
enough to cause electric shock. Use great care when
testing this demo board.
1)With power off, connect the input supply, load and
meters as shown in Figure 1. Preset the load to 0A and
VIN supply to 0V.
Note 2. For a 5V output, the input voltage should be 6V
or more.
2)Place the RUN pin jumper (JP3) in the ON position.
3)Set the output to 5V by placing the JP1 jumper in the
B position and the JP2 jumper in the A position.
4)Turn-on the VIN supply and increase to 12V. The 5V
output should be 5V ±2% per the Performance Summary table.
Note 3. When measuring the output or input voltage ripple,
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)Next, apply 400mA load to the output and re-measure
VOUT.
6)Once the DC regulation is confirmed, observe the output
voltage ripple, load step response, efficiency and other
parameters for the 5V, 3.3V and 1.8V output settings.
