QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 868

LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT DUAL SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONVERTER

LTC3827EG-1

DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 868 is a dual-output stepdown

power supply. The input voltage is from 4.5V to 32V.

The supply has two outputs: 3.3V/5A

MAX

and

8.5V/3.5A

MAX

. When the input voltage is close to the

output voltage, the supply is in dropout mode. The de-

sign features the LTC3827-1, the low quiescent current,

2-phase, dual-output synchronous buck regulator.

Operating the two high side MOSFETs 180 degrees out

of phase significantly reduces peak input ripple current;

thereby reducing input capacitance and EMI noise. Both

controllers have internal current foldback for overload

condition. Current foldback limits MOSFET heat dissipa-

tion during short-circuit conditions. The LTC3827-1 fea-

tures a precision 0.8V reference and a power good out-

put indicator. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst

Mode operation, pulse skipping mode, or continuous

inductor current mode at light loads. The controller can

operate at up to 99% duty cycle for very low dropout

capability.

PARAMETER CONDITION VALUE

Input Voltage Range If the input voltage must exceed 32V, use higher voltage rating input capacitors. The IC

works up to 36V. Minimum of 9V input is needed for 8.5V output regulation at 3A load.

Demonstration circuit 868 is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTC3827-1. Refer to Figure 1 for

proper measurement equipment setup and follow the

procedure below:

Place RUN1 and RUN2 in OFF position, the FREQ

jumper at the selected frequency and the

PLLIN/MODE jumper JP2 in desired Mode (Burst or

CCM Mode) position. Table 2 shows the default set-

ting for DC868.

Connect the desired loads between 3.3V and 8.5V

terminals and their closest PGND terminals on the

board.

NOTE:

The maximum load at 3.3V is 5A, and the

maximum at 8.5V is 3.5A.

Connect the input power supply to the VIN

and GND

terminals on the right, center of the board.

NOTE:

Do not increase V

over 32V.

Switch on the desired channel(s) by moving the

RUN1 and/or RUN2 jumper to “on” position.

Measure the output voltages. They should be 3.3V

0.066V and 8.5V

0.17V respectively, within each

specified maximum load current.

For better efficiency at high input voltage, tie EXTVCC

to external source of 5V-9V or mount the optional re-

sistor R1(0 ohm).

If external synchronization is desired, remove JP2 and

tie PLLIN/MODE to external clock signal. Please refer

to datasheet for more details.
