DESCRIPTION

LT3086

40V, 2.1A Low Dropout Adjustable

Linear Regulator with Monitoring

and Cable Drop Compensation

Demonstration circuit 1729A is a 2.1A low dropout adjust-

able linear regulator featuring the LT

3086. The device is

designed with multiple features and operates over a wide

1.4V to 40V input supply range. The LT3086 requires only

one resistor to set the output voltage from 0.4V to 32V

and it is stable with ceramic output capacitors requiring

a minimum of 10μF.

The key features of the LT3086 include programmable

cable drop compensation, master/slave configuration for

paralleling of multiple devices for higher load current and

heat spreading, output current and temperature monitor-

ing, and programmable power good flag.

Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The LT3086 is offered in the packages of 16-lead DFN,

16-lead TSSOP, 7-lead DD-PAK, and a 7-lead TO-220.

The LT3086 data sheet gives a complete description of

the device, operation and application information. The data

sheet should be read in conjunction with this quick start

guide for working on or modifying the demo circuit 1729A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure 2. Measuring Input or Output Ripple

Figure 1. DC1729A Proper Equipment Setup

Demonstration circuit 1729A is easy to set up to evalu-

ate the performance of the LT3086. Refer to Figure 1 for

proper measurement equipment setup and follow the

procedure below:

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 ter-

minals of the input or output capacitors. See Figure 2 for

proper scope probe technique.

1. Use JP1 to set the desired output voltage.

2. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN

and GND.

3. Turn on the power at the VIN.

Note: Make sure that the VIN voltage does not exceed 40V.

4. Check for the proper output voltages:

Note: If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the

load to make sure that the load is not set too high or

is shorted.

5. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust

the loads within the operating range and observe

the output voltage regulation, efficiency and other

parameters.

Note: Make sure that the power dissipation is limited

below the thermal limit.

THERMAL IMAGE

An example thermal image shows the temperature distri-

bution on the board. The test is done in still air at room

temperature with 2.2W power dissipation in the LT3086.

This gives the IC case-to-ambient thermal resistance

θJA = 23°C/W on the demo board.

Figure 3. Temperature Rise at 2.2W Dissipation

The cable drop compensation on the DC1729A can be

turned on by placing R4 (RCDC) with a value which is gov-

erned by the following equation provided in the data sheet:

RCDC =

MON

•R

SET

3000 •R

WIRE

Pleasenotethatwhencable drop compensationis activated,

it also changes the power good threshold. R23 needs to

be the same value as R4 in order to keep the same output

voltage power good threshold at the load.

CABLE DROP COMPENSATION

POWER GOOD SETTING

The power good setting jumper JP2 on the DC1729A is

used for setting the power good threshold for the cor-

responding output voltages. JP2 needs to be configured

at the same position as JP1 for any specific output volt-

ages. For example, when JP1 is configured on 7 and 8 for

3.3VOUT, JP2 also needs to be configured on 7 and 8 for

the correct power good setting for 3.3VOUT.
