DESCRIPTION

LTC3613EWKH

Fast, High Efficiency

Step-Down Regulator

Demonstration circuit 1700A is a fast, high efficiency

synchronous buck DC/DC converter with 4.5V to 24V

input range. It can supply 15A maximum load current at

1.5V output. The demo board features the LTC

3613EWKH

regulator. No external MOSFETs are required. The con-

trolled on-time constant frequency valley current mode

architecture allows for both fast transient response and

constant frequency switching in steady-state operation.

Differential output voltage sensing along with a precision

internal reference combine to offer an accurate output

regulation. The LTC3613 is ideal for applications such

as distributed power systems, servers and point-of-load

converters. The LTC3613EWKH is in a 7mm ×9mm 54-pin

QFN package.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The light load operation mode of the converter is de-

termined with the MODE/PLLIN pin. Use JP2 jumper to

select discontinuous mode (DCM) or forced continuous

mode (CCM) operation. Switching frequency is pre-set

at about 350kHz. This frequency can be modified from

200kHz to 1MHz by changing the value of a resistor (R18).

The converter can also be externally synchronized from

200kHz to 1MHz through the 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 is outside of the ±7.5% regulation window.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure 1. Proper Measurement Equipment Setup

Figure 2. Measuring Output Voltage Ripple

Demonstration circuit 1700A is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTC3613. 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

(4.5V to 24V) 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, ad-

just 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.
