DESCRIPTION

LTC3863

Low IQInverting

DC/DC Converter

Demonstration circuit 1737A is a current-mode inverting

DC/DC converter featuring the LT C

3863.

The board operates from an input range of 4.5V to 16V,

and provides a –5.2V, 1.7A output or a –12V, 1A output

(jumper selectable). It operates at 400kHz and may be

synchronized to an external clock. A soft-start feature

controls output voltage slew rate at start-up, reducing

current surge and voltage overshoot. Burst Mode

opera-

tion that improves efficiency at light loads can be enabled

with a jumper. A power good output signal is provided.

The demonstration board has options for larger MOSFET

and diode packages on the back of the board for higher

output current requirements.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

This board is suitable for a wide range of automotive,

telecom, industrial, and other applications. The LTC3863

is available in small 12-pin thermally enhanced MSOP and

DFN Packages. For other output requirements, see the

LTC3863 data sheet or contact the LT C factory.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 1737 is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTC3863. Refer to Figure 1 for

proper measurement equipment setup and follow the

procedure below:

Note:Whenmeasuringtheoutputvoltageripple, care must

be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the oscilloscope

probe. Measure the output voltage ripple by touching the

probe tip and ground ring directly across the last output

capacitor as shown in Figure 1.

1. Set an input power supply that is capable of 4.5V to

16V to 5V. Then turn off the supply.

2. Withpower off, connect the supplyto the input terminals

+VIN and –VIN.

a. Inputvoltages lower than 4.5V can keepthe converter

from turning on due to the undervoltage lockout

feature of the LTC3863.

b. If efficiency measurements are desired, an ammeter

capable of measuring 2A DC or a resistor shunt can

be put in series with the input supply in order to

measure the DC1737A’s input current.

c. A voltmeter with a capability of measuring at least

16V can be placed across the input terminals in order

to get an accurate input voltage measurement.

3. Turn on the power at the input.

Note: Make sure that the input voltage never exceeds 16V.

4. Check for the proper output voltage of –5.2V. Turn off

the power at the input.

5. Once the proper output voltage is established, connect

a variable load capable of sinking 1.7A at 5.2V to the

output terminals +VOUT and –VOUT. Set the current

for 0A.

a. If efficiency measurements are desired, an ammeter

or a resistor shunt that is capable of handling 1.7A

DC can be put in series with the output load in order

to measure the DC1737A’s output current.

b. Avoltmeterwithacapabilityofmeasuring at least 12V

can be placed across the output terminals in order

to get an accurate output voltage measurement.

6. Turn on the power at the input.

Note: If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the load

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

7. Once the proper output voltage is again established,

adjust the load and/or input within the operating range

and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple volt-

age, efficiency and other desired parameters.

8. Remove the VOUT jumper to observe operation at

–12VOUT up to 1A.
