DC1123A QUICK START GUIDE

DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 1123 is a I

C Quad Synchro-

nous Step-Down DC/DC Regulators featuring the

LTC3562. The LTC3562 is a quad high efficiency

monolithic synchronous step-down regulator with

an I

C interface. Two regulators are externally ad-

justable and can have their feedback voltages pro-

grammed between 425mV and 800mV in 25mV

(Type A). The other two regulators are fixed output

regulators whose output voltages can be pro-

grammed between 600mV and 3.775V in 25mV

steps (Type B). All four regulators operate inde-

pendently and can be put into pulse skip, LDO,

Burst Mode operation or forced Burst Mode opera-

tion through I

C control. The Type A regulators

have separate RUN pins that can be enabled if I

control is unavailable.

The 2.85V to 5.5V input range makes the LTC-

3562 ideally suited for single Li-ion battery pow-

ered applications. At low output load conditions,

the regulators can be switched into LDO, Burst

Mode operation or forced Burst Mode operation,

extending battery life in portable systems. The qui-

escent current drops to under 100µA with all regu-

lators in LDO mode and under 0.1µA when all

regulators are shut down

Switching frequency is internally set to 2.25MHz,

allowing the use of small surface mount inductors

and capacitors. All regulators are internally com-

pensated.

The LTC3562 is offered in a low profile 3mm



3mm QFN package.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

The LTC3562 is a highly integrated power man-

agement IC that contains four I

C controllable,

monolithic, high efficiency step-down regulators.

Two regulators provide up to 600ma of output

current and the other two regulators produce up

to 400ma. All four regulators are 2.25MHz, con-

stant-frequency, current mode switching regula-

tors that can be independently controlled through

C. All regulators are internally compensated

eliminating the need for external compensation

components.

The LTC3562 offers two different types of ad-

justable step-down regulators. The two Type A

regulators (R600A, R400A) can have the feed-

back voltage adjusted from 425mv to 800mv in

25mv increments. The two Type B regulators

(R600B, R400B) can have the output voltages

adjusted through I

C control from 600mv to

3.775V in 25mv increments.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Using short twisted pair leads for any power

connections and with all loads and power sup-

plies off, refer to Figure 1 for the proper meas-

urement and equipment setup.

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 VCC or VOUT and GND terminals. See

Figure 2 for proper scope probe technique.

Place jumpers and load settings in the following

positions:

JP1 (RUN600A)

= ON

JP2 (RUN400A)

= ON

Load 1

= Consant Current 50mA

Load 2

= Constant Current 50mA

Load 3

= Constant Current 50mA

Load 4

= Constant Current 50mA

Connect Power Supply PS1 to VIN terminals

and adjust to 4.5 Volts to the demo board, as

shown in Figure 1.

Verify that OUT600A (1.8V) and OUT400A

(1.5V) are operational with proper output volt-

ages.

Once the proper output voltages are estab-

lished, adjust the loads within the operating

range and observe the output voltage regula-

tion, ripple voltage, and efficiency.

Open the Quickstart Software as discribed in the

DC590 Quick Start Guide

Set Jumpers JP1 (RUN400A) and JP2

(RUN600A) to Off Position. Connect Ribbon ca-

ble from DC590 demo circuit to J2. The LTC

3562 demonstation software should pop-up

automatically when the cable is installed.

Set all modes to Burst mode, VOUT 600A to

1.82V, VOUT 600B to 3.3V, VOUT 400A to

1.51V and VOUT 400B to 1.2V. Set all loads to

50mA. Check Auto Update buttons. Click on

Enable All button.

lished, adjust the loads within the operating

APPLICATION INFORMATION

This demo circuit is designed to demonstrate

the full capability of the LTC3562 I

C Quad Syn-

chronous Step-Down DC-DC Regulator. Not all

components are required in all applications.

The critical circuit components are on the top of

the board near the IC and listed in the Required

Circuit Components section of the Bill of Materi-

als, in Figure 5.

The input capacitor network of C1 and R1 is

used to dampen source lead inductances that

commonly occur in laboratory setups with

twisted leads and a bench power supply. When

using a USB cable this input damping network

will likely not be required. Please note that the

in-circuit capacitance of the specified 10uF,

0805 ceramic capacitor for C1 and C2 is less

than 5uF each with VIN greater than 4.25 Volts.

For good transient response and stability the

output capacitor each buck regulator should re-

tain at least 4uF of capacitance over the operat-

ing temperature and voltage range.

The output inductors for the OUT600A and

OUT600B are the recommended values of

3.3uH while the OUT400A and OUT400B are

4.7uH.

Resistors R4 and R6 are to adjust the output

voltage seen on the OUT600A output while R3

and R4 will set the voltage on the OUT400A

output.
