DEMO MANUAL DC1829A LTC3866EUF High Efficiency Step-Down Converter with Very Low DCR Inductor DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuit 1829A is a high efficiency, high density, synchronous buck converter with 4.5V to 14V input voltage range. It can supply a 30A maximum load current with a 1.5V output. This demo board utilizes the LTC®3866EUF, a feature-rich single phase synchronous buck controller with very low DCR current sensing capability, on-chip drivers and remote output voltage sensing. This board is setup with 0.32mΩ DCR inductor. The temperature compensation function guarantees accurate current limit over a wide temperature range with DCR sensing. To shut down the converter, set the RUN pin voltage below 1.2V (JP2: OFF). Use JP1 jumper to select Burst Mode® operation, pulse skipping mode or forced continuous mode operation at light load. Switching frequency is preset at about 400kHz, and it can be easily modified from 250kHz to 770kHz. Onboard dynamic circuit is also available for transient test. Please see LTC3866 data sheet for more detailed information. The LTC3866 is suitable for operation from an input voltage of 4.5V to 38V and output voltages up to 3.5V. It can provide high efficiency, high power density and versatile power solutions for telecom and datacom systems, industrial and medical instruments, along with DC power distribution systems and computer systems. The LTC3866 is available in 24-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN and 24-lead FE packages.

Refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below: 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. 1. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN (4.5V to 14V) and GND (input return). 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. 2. Connect the 1.5V output load between VOUT and GND (Initial load: no load). 3. Connect the DVMs to the input and outputs. Set default jumper position: JP1: CCM; JP2: ON. 4. Turn on the input power supply and check for the proper output voltages. VOUT should be 1.5V ±2%. Figure 1.
