DC506A - Demo Manual

QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 506
500MA SPREAD-SPECTRUM,LOW NOISE,INDUCTORLESS STEP DOWN DC/DC CONVERTER
LTC3251EMSE
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 506A is a two-phase,
step down charge pump DC/DC converter
featuring the LTC3251EMSE. It produces regulated 1.5V output voltage at up to 500mA of
output current from 3.2V to 5.5V input. A
unique two phase, spread spectrum architecture of the LTC3251 provides highly efficient
and low noise operation. The burst and superburst operating modes also reduce operating
current at light load conditions. The circuit has
a low external parts count and requires only
four small surface mount capacitors. DC 506
demonstrates appropriate layout techniques
for the LTC3251 Inductorless DC-DC converter.
This power supply circuit is ideally suited for
space-constrained battery-powered applications that require small size and low operating
current.
Design files for this circuit board are available.
Call the LTC factory.
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit DC506 is easy to set up
to evaluate the performance of the LTC3251.
Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement
equipment setup and follow the procedure
below:
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 Figure 2 for
proper scope probe technique.
1. With
power off, connect input power
source to VIN and GND terminals. Input
voltage range is limited to between 3.2V
and 5.5V.
2. Place operation mode selector jumper JP1
in the GND position, JP2 in the VIN position
for Burst Mode operation.
3. Connect load between the VOUT and GND
terminals.
4. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage does
not exceed 5.5V.
5. Check for the proper output voltages. VOUT
= 1.5V.
If there is no output, temporarily disconnect
the load to make sure that the load is not
set too high.
6. Once
the proper output voltages are
established, adjust the loads up to 500mA
and observe the output voltage regulation,
input and output ripple voltage, efficiency
and other parameters.
NOTE: IOUT derates linearly to 200mA for VIN
less than 3.5V.
7. For continuous mode operation, set opera-
tion mode selector jumper JP1 in the VIN
position, JP2 in the GND position. Please refer Table1 for other modes of operation.
