DEMO MANUAL DC1270A
LTC3852EUDD
Low VIN, High Efficiency
Step-Down DC/DC Converter
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1270A is a low input voltage, high
efficiency synchronous buck DC/DC converter with 2.7V to
5.5V input range. It can supply 15A maximum load current at
1.5V output. The demo board features the LTC®3852EUDD
controller. The integrated charge pump provides 5V to
the LTC3852’s control logic and gate drives, supporting a
wide selection of logic-level N-channel power MOSFETs
with high efficiency. The constant frequency current mode
architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to
750kHz. The LTC3852 is ideal for general purpose 3.3V
systems, lithium-ion powered devices and distributed DC
power systems. The LTC3852EUDD is in a 3mm × 5mm
24-Lead QFN package.
The light load operation mode of the converter is determined with the FCB pin. Use JP2 jumper to select burst
mode, discontinuous mode or forced continuous mode
operation. Switching frequency is preset at about 400KHz.
This frequency can be easily modified from 250kHz to
750kHz by changing the value of a resistor (R5). The converter can also be externally synchronized from 250kHz to
750kHz through MODE/PLLIN pin (PLLIN terminal on the
board). To shut down the converter, one simple way is to
force the RUN pin below 1.1V (JP1: OFF). The power good
output (PGOOD terminal) is low when the output voltage
exceeds the ±10% regulation window.

DEMO MANUAL DC1270A
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1270A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC3852EUDD. Refer to Figure 1
for the proper measurement equipment setup and follow
the procedure below:
1. With power off, connect the input power supply to
VIN(2.7V to 5.5V) and GND (input return).
2. Connect the 1.5V output load between VOUT and GND
(Initial load: no load).
3. Connect the DVMs to the input and outputs.
4. Turn on the input power supply and check for the proper
output voltages. VOUT should be 1.5V ±2%.
5. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust
the loads within the operating range and observe the
output voltage regulation, ripple voltage and other
parameters.
Note: 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.
OPTIONAL HIGH INPUT VOLTAGE (4V to 38V)
OPERATION
The LTC3852 can also be used for high input voltage applications (4V to 38V input), with the integrated charge
pump bypassed:
1. Remove the 0Ω resistor from R3 and put the resistor
at R26 position (disconnect VIN1 from VIN , and connect
VIN2 from VIN). Remove R22 and R23. The C1 flying
cap can also be removed.
2. The related power components, such as input/output
capacitors, MOSFETs, and inductor, need to be changed
to fit the new application specification.
