DESCRIPTION

LTC3882EUJ-1 High Efficiency

Step-Down DC/DC Converter

with Power System Management

Demonstration circuit 2312A is a high current, high

efficiency, dual phase synchronous buck converter

featuring the LTC3882EUJ-1, a dual output voltage

mode controller with the additional features of dif-

ferential VOUT sense and dedicated PGOOD output on

both channels, compared to LTC3882. The LTC3882-1

has the PMBus interface and power system manage-

ment functions.

There are two versions of the boards available:

n DC2312A-A: Dual phase dual output configuration. De-

faultoutputsettingVOUT0

=1.5V/35A,VOUT1=1.0V/35A.

n DC2312A-B: Dual phase single output configuration.

Default output setting VOUT0 = 1.0V/70A.

The DC2312A powers up to default settings and pro-

duces power based on configuration resistors or with

its nonvolatile memory without the need for any serial

bus communication. This allows easy evaluation of the

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

DC/DC converter. To fully explore the extensive power

system management features of the part, download the

GUI software LTpowerPlay™ onto your PC and use LTC’s

I2C/SMBus/PMBus Dongle DC1613A to connect to the

board. LTpowerPlay allows the user to reconfigure the

part on-the-fly and store the configuration settings within

its onboard EEPROM, along with viewing telemetry pa-

rameters that include voltage, current, temperature and

fault status.

*Note: The DC2312A uses 2.5V-rated low ESR PosCAP (Part No. 2R5TPE470M7) as output capacitors for optimized load transient performance.

If > 2.0V VOUT is needed, 4V or 6.3V-rated output capacitors should be used.

**Note: When continuously running at full load, forced air flow is needed.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure1. Demo Setup with PC

Demonstration circuit 2312A makes it easy to set up to

evaluate the performance of the LTC3882-1. Refer to

Figures 2 and 3 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 output voltage ripple by

touching the probe tip directly across the C13 or C39. See

Figure 4 for proper scope probe technique.

1. Make sure jumpers are in the following positions:

JP1 NC Untie GPIO0B to GPIO1B

JP2 NC Untie RUN0 to RUN1

JP4 ON External 5V VDR for DrMOS

JP6 ON External 5V VCC for LTC3882-1

DC2312A-B Version

JUMPER POSITION FUNCTION

JP1 CTie GPIO0B to GPIO1B

JP2 CTie RUN0 to RUN1

JP4 ON External 5V VDR for DrMOS

JP6 ON External 5V VCC for LTC3882-1

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

and GND. Connect active load to the output.

3. Make sure both RUN switches are OFF.

4. Turn on the power at the input.

Note. Make sure that the input voltage does not ex-

ceed15V.

5. Turn on RUN switches as desired.

6. Check for the correct output voltage from VOUT0+to

VOUT0–and from VOUT1+to VOUT1–.

Note. If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the

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

7. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust

the loads within the operating range and observe the

output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efﬁciency and

other parameters.

8. Connect the dongle and control the output voltages

from the GUI. See LTpowerPlay Quick Start Procedure

session for details.

CONNECTING A PC TO DC2312A

You can use a PC to reconfigure the power management

features of the LTC3882-1 such as: nominal VOUT, margin

setpoints, OV/UV limits, temperature fault limits, sequenc-

ing parameters, the fault log, fault responses, GPIO and

other functionality. The DC1613A dongle may be plugged

in regardless of whether or not VIN is present. Dongle can

be hot plugged.

MEASURING OUTPUT RIPPLE VOLTAGE

An accurate ripple measurement may be performed by

using the configuration in Figure 4 across C13 or C39.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

MEASURING EFFICIENCY (SEE FIGURES 5 AND 6)

To accurately measure efficiency of any configuration, do

the following:

n Set JP4 and JP6 on the “OFF” position.

n Connect external 5V supply to VDR and VCC turrets and

measure its input current.

n Measure VIN across the input ceramic capacitor (C10,

C6). Measure VOUT across the output ceramic capaci-

tor (C13, C39).

n Add the loss from external 5V supply into the efficiency

calculation.

LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows-based develop-

ment environment that supports Linear Technology

power system management ICs, including the LTC3880,

LTC3882/LTC3882-1, LTC3883, LTM4676A, LTC2974

and the LTC2978. The software supports a variety of

different tasks. You can use LTpowerPlay to evaluate

Linear Technology ICs by connecting to a demo board

system. LTpowerPlay can also be used in an offline mode

(with no hardware present) in order to build a multi-chip

configuration file that can be saved and reloaded at a later

time. LTpowerPlay provides unprecedented diagnostic

and debug features. It becomes a valuable diagnostic tool

during board bring-up to program or tweak the power

management scheme in a system, or to diagnose power

issues when bringing up rails. LTpowerPlay utilizes the

DC1613A USB-to-SMBus controller to communicate with

one of many potential targets, including the LTC3882-1’s

DC2312A demo system, or a customer board. The soft-

ware also provides an automatic update feature to keep

the software current with the latest set of device drivers

and documentation. The LTpowerPlay software can be

downloaded from:

b. A blue message box shows for a few seconds in the

lowerleft handcorner, conﬁrming thatthe LTC3882-1

is communicating:

c. In the Toolbar, click the “R” (RAM to PC) icon to

read the RAM from the LTC3882-1. This reads the

conﬁguration from the RAM of LTC3882-1 and loads

it into the GUI:

d. If you want to change the output voltage to a different

value, like 1.2V. In the Config tab, type in 1.2 in the

VOUT_COMMAND box, like this:

Then, click the “W” (PC to RAM) icon to write these

step, you will see the output voltage will change to 1.2V.

If the write is successful, you will see the following

message:

e. You can save the changes into the NVM. In the tool

bar, click “RAM to NVM” button, as following:

f. Save the demo board conﬁguration to a (*.proj) ﬁle.

Click the Save icon and save the ﬁle with a new name.
