Description

LTM8028

36VIN, UltraFast, Low Output

Noise, 5A µModule Regulator

Demonstration circuit 1738A features the LT M

8028, a

µModule

step-down converter that integrates both a high

efficiency switching regulator and a 5A UltraFast™ linear

regulator, resulting in a low noise solution suitable for high

speed data applications. The demo circuit is designed for

an input voltage of 6V to 36V and an operating frequency

of 250kHz. The output voltage is digitally programmable

from 0.8V to 1.8V in 50mV increments by adjusting the

three tri-state inputs VO0, VO1, and VO2.

The user may adjust the output voltage over a continuous

±10% range by applying a voltage to MARGA. A PGOOD

signal indicates that the output is within 10% of the target

voltage. The SENSEP pin creates a Kelvin sense connec-

tion to account for voltage drops due to PCB resistances

between the regulator and the load.

The LTM8028 data sheet gives a complete description of

the part, operation and application information. The data

sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual

prior to working on or modifying DC1738A.

DEMO MANUAL DC1738A

Quick start proceDure

Demonstration circuit 1738A is an easy way to evaluate

the performance of the LTM8028. Refer to Figure 2 for

proper measurement equipment setup and follow the

procedure below:

1. Place JP1-JP3 according to Table 1 to program the

desired output voltage.

2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load

and meters, as shown in Figure 2. Preset the VIN supply

between 6V to 36V.

3. Turn on the power at the input.

4. Check for the proper output voltage.

NOTE:Ifthereisnooutput,temporarilydisconnecttheload

to make sure that the load is not set too high or is shorted.

5. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust

the load within the operating range and observe the

output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efﬁciency and

other parameters.

6. In order to use the Kelvin sense connection to account

for output voltage drops, place JP4 in the SENSEP

position and connect the SENSEP turret at the input

of the load.

7. In order to minimize EMI noise, an input ﬁlter can be

utilized by removing R6 on the bottom of the board

and populating the optional circuit components.
