Linear Technology DC1544 User manual

LT3957

DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 1544 is a Boost, SEPIC, Flyback

and Inverting Converter ith 5A, 40V S itch featuring

the LT3957. The LT3957 can be configured as a boost,

flyback, SEPIC, and inverting converter, but the demon-

stration circuit is assembled as a boost. The input volt-

age range is 4.5V to 20V and the output voltage is 24V

ith 600mA over the entire input voltage range.

The LT3957 has an internal n-channel 5A, 40V po er

s itch for high voltage, po er, and efficiency. The dual

paddle package provides excellent heat dissipation for

the internal po er s itch. The LT3957 current-mode

dc/dc converter features adjustable s itching frequency,

soft-start, compensation, shutdo n and undervoltage

lockout ith hysteresis, and a feedback pin (FBX) that

can be used in both positive and negative applications. A

SYNC input can be used to synchronize the s itching at

a frequency higher than the IC is programmed.

The demonstration circuit features small 1210 case size

ceramic input and output capacitors. The internal n-

channel po er s itch provides efficiency as high as 95%

in typical boost applications ith 14.4W output.

The LT3957 datasheet gives a complete description of

the part, operation and applications information. The

datasheet must be read in conjunction ith this Quick

Start Guide for demonstration circuit 1544A. The LT3957

is assembled in a 36-lead plastic UHE package ith t o

thermally enhanced pads for SW and GND. Proper board

layout is essential for both proper operation and maxi-

mum thermal performance. See the datasheet section

‘Layout Considerations’.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 1544 is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LT3957. Refer to Figure 2 for

proper measurement equipment setup and follo the

procedure belo :

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.

Place jumpers in the follo ing positions:

NO SYNC

With po er off, connect the input po er supply to

VIN and GND.

NOTE.

Connect po er to GND, not SGND.

Connect a load of 600mA or less to VOUT and GND

terminals (not SGND).

Turn on the po er at the input.

NOTE.

Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed 20V.

Check for the proper output voltage (24V).

NOTE.

If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the load to make

sure that the load is not set too high.

Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust

the load and input ithin the operating ranges and

observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage,

efficiency and other parameters.

TERMINAL OPTIONS

DC1544A has both

GND

and

SGND

terminals. The sche-

matic sho s that the GND and SGND pins of the IC are

not tied together outside the IC. They are internally con-

nected. It is important that po er ground currents do not

run on the SGND components. SGND is used to termi-

nate the signal ground components such as compensa-

tion and feedback. Input and output po er as ell as

input and output caps, catch diodes, etc. should all con-

nect to the GND plane. The SGND terminals are provided

in case the customer ould like to make signal ground

measurements, but they do not need to be used. Im-

properly connecting input po er to the SGND terminal

results in noisy behavior of the IC.

EN/UVLO

(enable / undervoltage lockout) is provided as

a terminal so that the part can quickly be placed in shut-

do n by tying EN/UVLO to GND. The EN/UVLO pin is

already being used as an undervoltage lockout threshold

for the VIN ith resistors R1 and R2. Undervoltage lock-

out stops the IC from s itching hen VIN is too lo , but

shutdo n further reduces the VIN pin quiescent current

hen EN/UVLO is tied directly to GND. It is okay to leave

the EN/UVLO terminal floating.

INTVCC

is provided as a terminal to be able to po er

INTVCC externally or to tie INTVCC directly to VIN hen

VIN remains belo 8V. It is okay to leave the INTVCC

terminal floating.

SYNC

is provided as a terminal to be able to externally

synchronize the internal po er s itching frequency. If

SYNC is not used, the terminal should be left floating and

the JP1 position should be set at ‘NO SYNC’. If SYNC is

used, the s itching frequency of SYNC should be 20%

higher than the programmed s itching frequency of the

IC and the JP1 position must be set at ‘SYNC’. Please

see the datasheet for details regarding the use of SYNC

and the s itching frequency range.
