Description

LTC3115EDHD-1

40V, 2A Synchronous

Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter

Demonstration circuit 1687A features the LTC

3115-1, a

high voltagemonolithic synchronousbuck-boost converter.

The DC1687A demo board has two user selectable operat-

ing modes: Burst Mode

operation and forced continuous

operation (fixed frequency PWM) (JP1). There is also an

accurate programmable RUN pin which is used to enable

the converter (JP2).

The DC1687A operates with a 2.7V to 40V input volt-

age range. The demo board has been designed with the

output voltage set to 5.0V. The LTC3115-1 incorporates a

proprietary low noise switching algorithm which optimizes

efficiency with input voltages above, below or equal to the

output voltage and ensures seamless transitions between

operating modes.

The demo board has been programmed to operate at 1MHz

in PWM mode to optimize small size with high efficiency

operation.

respective owners.

performance summary

The demo board also has optional provisions to back

feed VCC in order to increase efficiency in some 5V out-

put applications. There is also a provision for an optional

Schottky diode from SW2 to VOUT for applications where

VOUT is greater than 20V and short circuit protection is

desired. Consult the data sheet for more information on

these options.

Figures 1 and 2 show typical demo board efficiency.

The LTC3115-1 data sheet has detailed information about

the operation, specifications, and applications of the part.

The data sheet should be read in conjunction with this

quick start guide.

Quick start proceDure

Using short twisted pair leads for any power connections

and with all loads and power supplies off, refer to Figure 3

for the proper measurement and equipment setup. The

battery/power supply (PS1) should not be connected to

the circuit until told to do so in the procedure below.

When measuring the input or output voltage ripple, care

must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the oscil-

loscope probe. Measure the input or output voltage ripple

by touching the probe tip directly across the VIN or VOUT

and GND terminals (see Figure 4), or by using an oscil-

loscope probe tip jack.

1. Jumper and PS1 settings to start:

PS1 = OFF

JP1 (PWM) = fixed frequency

JP2 (RUN) = ON

2. With power OFF connect the power supply (PS1) as

shown in Figure 3. If accurate current measurements

are desired (for efficiency calculation for example) then

connect an ammeter in series with the supply as shown.

The ammeter is not required however.

3. Connect a 500mA load to VOUT as shown in Figure 3

(10Ω for VOUT = 5V). Connect an ammeter if accurate

current measurement or monitoring is desired.

4. Turn on PS1 and slowly increase voltage until the volt-

age at VIN is 4.0V.

5. Verify VOUT is ~5.0V.

6. VIN cannow bevaried between 2.7Vand 40.0V. IOUT may

need to be reduced for VIN < 4V. VOUT should remain in

regulation.

7. Load current (IOUT) can also be varied. The maximum

IOUT is a function of VIN and the current limit. Consult

the data sheet for more information on IOUT vs VIN. In

general for VIN > 3.6V IOUT can be increased to 1A. For

VIN > 6V IOUT can be increased to 2A.

8. For operation in Burst Mode operation move Jumper

JP1 to burst. IOUT is limited in Burst Mode operation.

See the data sheet for more information.

9. NOTE: If VOUT drops out of regulation, check to be sure

the maximum load has not been exceeded, or that VIN

is not below the minimum value for regulation (see data

sheet)
