Description

LTC3103EDD

1.8µA Quiescent Current, 15V,

300mA Synchronous Step-Down

DC/DC Converter

DemonstrationCircuit1883AfeaturestheLTC

3103, a high

efficiency, monolithic synchronous step-down converter

using a current mode architecture capable of supplying

300mA of output current. The IC operates with a fixed

frequency oscillator at 1.2MHz.

The LTC3103 has two user selectable (JP2) operating

modes: Burst Mode

operation and forced continuous

operation (fixed frequency PWM). The IC has internal

compensation and an accurate programmable RUN pin.

The LTC3103 operates with a 2.5V to 15V input voltage

range. The demo board has been designed with a main

output set to 1.8V. Since the LTC3103 is a buck converter,

as VIN approaches VOUT, the output will start dropping out

of regulation. Consult the data sheet for information on

the minimum VIN to VOUT differential for regulation. The

regulation range is also a function of the load current.

Typical demo board efficiency is shown in Figures 1 and 2.

The LTC3103 data sheet has detailed information about

the operation, specification and applications of the part.

The data sheet should be read in conjunction with this

Quick Start Guide.

Note 1. The demo board can operate with VIN less than VOUT, however VOUT will drop out of regulation. The regulation range is a function of IOUT. Please

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 it is stated in the following procedure.

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, PS1 and LOAD settings to start:

PS1 = OFF

JP1 (RUN) = OFF

JP2 (MODE) = FIXED FREQUENCY

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 load to VOUT, as shown in Figure 3. The load

can be up to 300mA or 6Ω for VOUT = 1.8V. Connect an

ammeter if accuratecurrentmeasurementormonitoring

is desired.

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

age at VIN is 5V. Move Jumper JP1 to ON.

5. Verify VOUT is ~1.8V.

6. VIN can now be varied between 3V and 15V. VOUT should

remain in regulation.

7. VIN can also be varied down to 2.5V. For VIN ≤ 3V,

VOUT may drop out of regulation, as previously de-

scribed.

8. IOUT can also be varied from 0mA to 300mA.

9. For Burst Mode operation, move jumper JP2 to BURST.

See the data sheet for more information.

NOTES:

(1) If VOUT drops out of regulation, check to be sure

themaximumloadhasnotbeenexceeded,orthatVIN is

not below the minimum value for regulation (see

the data sheet).

(2) To measure no-load input current, remove R4.
