DESCRIPTION

LTC3607EUD

Dual 600mA 15V Monolithic

Synchronous Step-Down Regulator

Demonstration circuit DC1596 is a dual output regulator

consisting of two constant-frequency step-down convert-

ers, based on the LT C

3607 monolithic dual channel

synchronous buck regulator. The DC1596 has an input

voltagerangeof4.5Vto15V,witheachregulatorcapableof

delivering up to 600mA of output current. The DC1596 can

operate in either Burst Mode

operation or pulse-skipping

mode. In shutdown, the DC1596 quiescent current is less

than 1µA. The DC1596 is a very efficient circuit attaining

up to 90%. The DC1596 uses the LTC3607’s16-lead QFN

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

package, which has an exposed pad on the bottom side

of the IC for better thermal performance. These features,

plus a set operating frequency range of 2.25MHz, make

the DC1596 demo board an ideal circuit for industrial or

distributed power applications.

DEMO MANUAL DC1596A

QUICK START PROCEDURE

The DC1596 is easy to set up to evaluate the performance

of the LTC3607. For a proper measurement equipment

configuration, set up the circuit according to the diagram

in Figure 1.

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 the proper scope probe

technique in Figure 2.

Please follow the procedure outlined below for proper

operation.

1. Connect the input power supply tothe PVIN1/PVIN2 and

GND terminals (VIN1 and VIN2 are separate nodes but

are connected). Connect the loads between the VOUT

and GND terminals. Refer to Figure 1 for the proper

measurement equipment setup.

Before proceeding to operation, insert jumper shunts

XJP1 and XJP2 into the OFF positions of headers JP1

and JP2, shunt XJP3 into the pulse-skip position of

MODE header JP3, and shunt XJP4 into the VOUT1

voltage options of choice of header JP4: 1.2V, 1.5V, or

1.8V, and shunt XJP5 into the VOUT2 voltage options

of choice of header JP5: 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V.

2. Apply 5.5V at PVINs 1, 2. Measure both VOUTs; they

should read 0V. If desired, one can measure the shut-

down supply current at this point. The supply current

will be less than 1µA in shutdown.

3. Turn on VOUT1 and VOUT2 by shifting shunts XJP1

and XJP2 from the OFF positions to the ON positions.

Both output voltages should be within a tolerance of

±2%.

4. Vary the input voltages from 5.8V(the minimum VIN is

dependent on VOUT) to 15V, and the load currents from

0A to 600mA. Both output voltages should be within

±4% tolerance.

5. Set the load current of both outputs to 600mA and the

input voltages to 12V, and then measure each output

ripple voltage (refer to Figure 2 for proper measure-

ment technique); they should each measure less than

20mVAC. Also, observe the voltage waveform at either

switch node (Pin 5 for reg.1 and Pin 8 for reg.2) of each

regulator. The switching frequencies should be about

2.25MHz ±20% (T= 555ns and 370ns). Both switch

node waveforms should be rectangular in shape, and

180° out-of-phase with each other.

6. To operate the ckt.s in Burst Mode operation, change

the shunt position of header JP3 to BURST MODE.

7. Regulators 1 (PVIN1) and 2 (PVIN2) are completely

separated from each other; thus, they can be powered

from different individual input supplies (if R11 is re-

moved), as can the signal input supply, SVIN. However,

SVIN must powered for either regulator to function

(SVIN is connected to PVIN1 through a filter on the

demo board.).

8. When finished, insert shunts XJP1 and XJP2 to the OFF

position(s) and disconnect the power.

Warning: If the power for the demo board is carried in

long leads, the input voltage at the part could “ring”, which

could affect the operation of the circuit or even exceed the

maximum voltage rating of the IC. To eliminate the ring-

ing, a small tantalum capacitor (for instance, AVXpart #

TPSY226M035R0200) is inserted on the pads between

the input power and return terminals on the bottom of the

demo board. The (greater) ESR of the tantalum capacitor

will dampen the (possible) ringing voltage caused by the

long input leads. On a normal, typical PCB, with short

traces, this capacitor is not needed.
