Description

LT8494

SEPIC/Boost DC/DC Converter with 2A,

70V Switch, and 7µA Quiescent Current

Demonstration circuit 2242A is a monolithic SEPIC con-

verter featuring LT

8494.The demo board is designed for

5V output from a 3V to 60V input at 450kHz switching

frequency. The max output current is 1A when the input

voltage is above 12V, and is reduced with lower input volt-

age.ThequiescentcurrentofLT8494islessthan7μA when

operating. Dual supply pins (VIN and BIAS)allow the part

to automatically operate from the most efficient supply.

Low ripple Burst Mode

operation increases the efficiency

at the light load while keeping the output ripple below

10mV. Figure 1shows the demo board efficiency at 12V

input voltage.Figure 2shows the maximum load current

with different input voltages of the demo board.

performance summary

The LT8494 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 for

DC2242A. The LT8494 is assembled in 20-lead QFN and

20-lead plastic TSSOP packages.Proper board layout is

essentialformaximumthermalandelectricalperformance.

See the data sheet sections for details.

DEMO MANUAL DC2242A

Quick start proceDure

DC2242A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance

of the LT8494. Refer to Figure 3for 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 4for the proper

scope technique.

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

and GND.Make sure that the input voltage does not

exceed 60V.

2. With power off, connect loads from VOUT to GND.

3. Turn on the power at the input.

4. Check for the proper output voltages (VOUT = 5V).

NOTE: If there is no output,temporarily disconnect the

load 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 ranges and observe the

output voltage regulation,ripple voltage,efficiency and

other parameters.
