DESCRIPTION

LTC3867EUF

Synchronous Buck Converter

with Remote Sensing

Demonstration circuit 1771A is a single output synchro-

nous buck converter featuring the LTC

3867EUF with a

24-lead 4mm ×4mm QFN package.

The DC1771A is configured with a sense resistor. DCR

sensing circuit is optional. Using the inductor’s DCR as

the sense element instead of the on-board sense resistor

saves cost and board space while improving full-load

efficiency over 2%, though the sense resistor provides a

more accurate current limit.

The board has a lot of features including an internal 5V

linear regulator for bias, output voltage remote sense,

programmable nonlinear control to improve load tran-

sient performance, programmable thermal shutdown,

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

optional temperature compensated DCR sense circuit, a

mode selector that allows the converter to run in CCM,

pulse-skippingorBurstMode

operation.Synchronization

to an external clock is also possible.

The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 14V. The LTC3867

data sheet gives a complete description of the part, op-

eration and application information and must be read in

conjunction with this demo manual for DC1771A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure 1. Test Setup of the DC1771A

Demonstration circuit DC1771A is easy to set up to evalu-

ate the performance of the LTC3867EUF. Please refer to

Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and

follow the procedure below:

1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical

application:

JP2 On

JP3 CCM

2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load

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

and VIN supply to 12V.

3. Turn on the power supply at the input.

NOTE: Make surethat the inputvoltage does notexceed 14V.

4. Check the output voltage. The output voltage should

be between 1.470V and 1.530V.

Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the

load within the operating range and observe the output

voltage regulation, output voltage ripple, efficiency and

other parameters.

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. See Figure 2 for proper scope

probe technique.

5. Change JP3 jumper position to select different opera-

tion modes. Set jumper to CCM, BURST or P.S. position

toe set forced continuous conduction, burst or pulse-

skipping mode respectively. For synchronizing to an

external clock source, set the jumper to BURST position

and apply the clock signal to MODE/PLLIN turret.

Figure 3. Measured Efficiency

Demonstration circuit 1771A is configured for an onboard

soft-start circuit. The soft-start ramp rate can be adjusted

by changing the value of C24. Demonstration circuit 1771A

can also be modified to track an external reference. Refer

to Table 1 for tracking options and to the data sheet for

more details.
