Description

LTC3129

15V, 200mA Synchronous Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter

with 1.3µA Quiescent Current

Demonstration Circuit 1922A features the LT C

3129, a

high efficiency 200mA buck-boost DC/DC converter with

a wide VIN and VOUT range.

The DC1922A demo board has two user selectable operat-

ing modes: Burst Mode

Operation and Fixed Frequency

PWM (JP3). There is also an accurate programmable

RUN pin which is used to ENABLE the converter (JP1).

The LTC3129 also incorporates a maximum power point

controlfunctionwhichcanbeenabled(JP2)forapplications

where the input source is a solar cell or is high impedance,

such as intrinsically safe applications or high ZOUT thermal

electric generators (TEGs).

The DC1922A operates with a 2.42V to 15V input voltage

range, and has been designed with the output voltage set

to 5.0V. Once the converter is started the LTC3129 can

operate with VIN as low as 1.92V provided VCC is back-

fed. The demo board has optional provisions to back-

feed VCC (D1) in order to increase efficiency in some 5V

output applications, or to allow operation with VIN down

to 1.92V. Consult the data sheet for more information on

these options.

The DC1922A demo board also incorporates a connector

(J1) which can be used to connect to a Dust Networks

Mote demo board.

Figure 1 shows typical demo board efficiency and Figure 2

shows typical step response.

The LTC3129 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.

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

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, PS1 and LOAD settings to start:

PS1 = OFF

JP1 (RUN) = ON

JP2 (MPPC) = OFF

JP3 (PWM) = BURST MODE OPERATION

JP4 (DUST PWR) = NC

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

shown in Figure 3. If accurate current measurements

are desired (for efﬁciency calculations for example)

thenconnectanammeter(AM1)inserieswiththesup-

ply as shown. The ammeter is not required however.

3. Connect a 50mA load to VOUT as shown in Figure 3

(100Ω for VOUT = 5V). Connect an ammeter (AM2) if

accuratecurrentmeasurementormonitoringis

desired.

4. Turn on PS1 and slowly increase voltage until the

voltage at VIN is 4.0V.

5. Verify VOUT is ~5.0V.

6. VIN can now be varied between 2.42V and 15.0V.

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 > VOUT IOUT can be increased to

200mA. For VIN <VOUT IOUT capability willbe reduced.

8. For operation in ﬁxed frequency (PWM) mode move

Jumper JP3 to FIXED FREQ. See the data sheet for

more information on Burst Mode operation.

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

sure that VIN is not below the minimum value for

regulation (see data sheet).

For USE with a Solar Cells/MPPC:

10. With power OFF move jumper MPPC (JP2) to ON.

11. If using a power supply as the source, place a mini-

mum of 10Ω, 10W resistor in series with the input to

simulate the source resistance. If using a solar cell (s)

or high impedance source, no additional resistance

should be needed.

12. Set resistor R9 to a value which will set the MPPC

pin to the desired voltage. See the data sheet section

“Programming the MPPC Voltage” for more informa-

tion.

13. With no load and the MPPC voltage set, increase the

sourcevoltage above the MPPCset point.VOUT should

be in regulation. As the load is increased VIN will drop

until it reaches the MPPC set voltage. As the load is

increased further, VOUT will drop out of regulation,

but VIN will be regulated to the set point voltage. This

is to prevent the input source from collapsing and to

allow the maximum power to be extracted from the

source.

14. Consult the data sheet for more information on

maximum power point control (MPPC) operation.

DEMO MANUAL DC1922A

For USE with a DUST Networks MOTE demo board:

15. Connector J1 is designed to interface with a Dust

Networks Mote demo board. Consult the Dust

documentation for optimal VOUT regulation setting.

In general the Dust Networks Mote will operate with

VOUT set to 3.3V. However, care should be taken to

not overvoltage the Mote. Newer Motes may require

a different VOUT. The DC1922A demo board can be

conﬁgured for different VOUT voltages by simply

changing R2.

16. The DC1922A demo board can be conﬁgured for

VOUT = 3.3V by changing resistor R2 to 1.1M for

R1 = 2M.

Quick start proceDure

17. Once the output voltage has been set to the proper

voltage and with the power supply OFF connect

DC1922A to the Dust Networks Mote demo board

using J1. See Figure 5 and 6 for the proper connec-

tions and orientation. Move jumper JP4 to VOUT.

18. Once the boards have been connected, turn on PS1

and increase the voltage to approximately 3V. VOUT

should now be in regulation. VIN can now be varied

over the operating range and VOUT should remain in

regulation.
