DESCRIPTION

LTC3838EFE

Wide Input Range, High Efficiency

Step-Down DC/DC Converter

Demonstration circuit 1626A is a dual output 1.5V/15A

and 1.2V/15A synchronous buck converter operating with

a switching frequency of 300kHz over an input voltage

range of 4.5V to 26V. The demo board comes in two ver-

sions. The -A version uses inductor DCR current sensing

with an iron powder inductor for high efficiency. The -B

version uses a 2.5mΩ sense resistor for accurate current

sensing with a low DCR ferrite inductor. The fixed on-time

valley current mode architecture of the LTC3838 allows for

a fast load step response (see Figures 6 to 9). The load

step response can be tested with the on-board load step

circuit and a bench pulse generator.

The demo board uses a high density, two sided drop-in

layout. The entire converter, excluding the bulk output and

input capacitors, fits within a compact 1.5" ×1.0" area

on the board. The package style for the LTC3838EFE is a

38-lead TSSOP with an exposed ground pad.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The main features of the board are listed below:

• MODE jumper to program either DCM or FCM at light

or no load

• EXTVCC pin

• PLLIN pin to synchronize the converter to an external

clock

• Remote sensing for VOUT1

• Optional resistors to tie the two phases together

• Each rail has its own RUN pin, PGOOD pin and

TRACK/SS pin

DEMO MANUAL DC1626A

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 1626A is easy to set up to evalu-

ate the performance of the LTC3838EFE. Please refer to

Figure1 for proper measurement equipment setup and

follow the procedure below.

1. With power off, connect the input supply, load and

meters as shown in Figure 1. Preset the load to 0A

and VIN supply to be 0V. Place jumpers in the following

positions:

JP4 RUN1 ON

JP1 RUN2 ON

JP3 MODE FCM

2. Adjust the input voltage to be between 4.5V to 26V.

VOUT1 should 1.2V ±2%.

OUT2 should 1.5V ±2%.

3. Next, apply 15A load and recheck VOUT.

4. Once the DC regulation is confirmed, observe the output

voltage ripple, load step response, efficiency and other

parameters.

Note 1. Use the BNC connectors labeled VOUT1 or VOUT2

to measure the output voltage ripple.

Note 2. Do not apply the load from the VO1_SNS+ turret

to the VO1_SNS– turret or from the VO2+ turret to the

VO2– turret. These turrets are only intended to monitor

the voltage across COUT1 and COUT5 respectively. Heavy

load currents applied across these turrets may damage

the converter.

Load Step Transient Testing

Demonstration circuit 1626A provides a simple load step

circuit consisting of a MOSFET and sense resistor for each

rail. To apply a load step, follow the steps below.

1. Preset the amplitude of a pulse generator to 0.0V and

the duty cycle to 5% or less.

2. Connect the scope to the VOUT BNC connectors for

the rail under test with a coax cable. To monitor the

load step current, connect the scope probe across the

IOSTEP+/IOSTEP– turrets for that rail.

3. Connect the output of the pulse generator to the PULSE

GEN turret for the rail under test and connect the return

to one of the GND turrets.

4. With the converter running, slowly increase the ampli-

tude of the pulse generator output to provide the desired

load step pulse height. The scaling for the LOAD STEP

signal is 10mV/A.

Figure 1. Proper Measurement Equipment Setup

Single Output/Dual Phase Operation

A single output/dual phase converter may be preferred for

high output current applications. The benefits of single

output/dual phase operation islower ripple current through

the input and output capacitors, faster load step response

andsimplifiedthermaldesign.Toimplementsingleoutput/

dual phase operation, make the following modifications:

• Tie VOUT1 to VOUT2 by tying together the exposed

copper pads on the VOUT shapes with pieces of heavy

copper foil.

• Tie VFB2 to INTVCC by stuffing 0Ω at R1. This will

disable the error amp for phase 2 and internally tie the

two ITH signals together.

• Remove the ITH compensation network, VFB divider

and TRACK/SS cap for phase 2.

• Tie VRNG1 to VRNG2 by stuffing 0Ω at R4.

• Tie RUN1 to RUN2 by stuffing 0Ω at R7.

• If the optional transient detect circuit is used, externally

tie the DTR1 pin to the DTR2 pin.

• Re-compensate if necessary.
