DESCRIPTION

Low Quiescent Current,

High Voltage Step-Down

Converter

Demonstration circuit 1940A is a low quiescent current,

synchronousbuckconverterfeaturingtheLTC

3891EUDC.

This demo board converts a 16V to 60V voltage to a 12V

at 15A output.

The main features of this board include an internal LDO

for gate drive power from VIN or EXTVCC, RUN and

PGOOD pins, a mode selector that allows the converter

to run in constant current mode (CCM), pulse-skipping or

Burst Mode

operation, and selectable current limit. The

DC1940Asupportsanadjustableoutputvoltage,soft-start

andtracking. The wide input voltage range of 16V to60V is

suitable for double battery automotive and distributed DC

power systems where low quiescent current is important.

The LTC3891 data sheet gives a complete description of

this part, operation and application information. The data

sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick start

guide for demo circuit 1940A.

The 60V avalanche rated MOSFETs, which are used

on DC1940A, can be operated at their rated voltage.

However, if application derating requirements are

stricter, MOSFETs with higher voltage rating can be used.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Please note, MOSFETs with higher voltage ratings may af-

fect the efficiency. If 60V MOSFETs are used, the MOSFET

avalanche rating and testing is typically done with 30%

over voltage margin (78V for 60V rated MOSFET). Please

check with particular MOSFET manufacturer to ensure the

avalanche voltage rating.

The DC1940A supports the following MOSFET packages:

LFPAK, PowerPAK SO-8 and Power 56. The subsequent

logic level (SV gate) MOSFETs can be used with DC1940A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure 1. Proper Measurement Equipment Setup

Demonstration circuit 1940A is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTC3891EUDC. Refer to Figure 1

for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the

procedure below:

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 Figure 2 for proper scope

probe technique.

1. Place jumper JP1 in the ON position.

2. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN

and GND.

3. Turn on the power at the input. Check for the proper

output voltages:

OUT1 = 11.9V to 12.4V

NOTE: If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the

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

4. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust

the load within the operating range and observe the

output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and

other parameters.
