DESCRIPTION

LTM8001

36VIN, 5A µModule Regulator with

5-Output Configurable LDO Array

Democircuit1818AfeaturestheLTM8001Moduleregula-

tor that includes a 5A switching regulator and an array of

five 1.1A low noise LDOs. DC1818A is configured so the

switching regulator provides an output that also powers

the LDOs. The LDOs in turn provide three outputs – one

from a single LDO and two outputs each formed by paral-

leling two LDOs together.

DC1818Asupports changes to theLTM8001’s user adjust-

able features including the output voltage of the switching

regulator, output voltage ofeachofthe fiveLDOs,switching

frequency, soft-start period and output current limit of the L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo and Module are registered trademarks of

switching regulator simply by modifying the appropriate

resistors or capacitor. DC1818A also supports all current

sharing or independent operation options of the LDOs.

DC1818A includes a BNC connector for noise measure-

ment of the LDO for VOUT1. An optional capacitor at C14

further reduces output noise.

The LTM8001 data sheet must be read in conjunction with

this demo manual to properly use or modify DC1818A.

DEMO MANUAL DC1818A

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demo circuit 1818A is an easy way to evaluate the perfor-

mance of the LTM8001. Refer to Figure 1 for the proper

measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure

below:

NOTE: Do not hot-plug the VIN terminal at high input

voltages. The absolute maximum voltage on VIN is 40V

and hot-plugging a power supply through wire leads to

the demonstration circuit can cause the voltage on the

extremely low ESR ceramic input capacitor to ring to

twice its DC value. In order to protect the LTM8001, an

aluminum electrolytic capacitor with higher ESR is placed

at the input terminals. This may protect against some, but

not all, input transients due to a hot-plugged power supply.

See Application Note 88 for more details.

1. Place JP1 for BIAS123 in the INTERNAL 3.4V position.

NOTE:DC1818A includes an LTM8020 regulatorto provide

3.4V bias voltages to the LDOs. The 3.4V bias supply can

be disconnected using jumper JP1 to allow an external

bias supply.

2. Connect the power supply (with power off), loads, and

meters as shown in Figure 1.

3. After all connections are made, turn on the input power

and verify that VOUT0 is 1.8V and the output voltages for

VOUT1, VOUT2,3, and VOUT4,5 are 1.2V, 1.1V, and 0.9V

respectively.

NOTE: If VOUT0 is too low, temporarily disconnect the loads

to make sure that the loads are not set too high. If VOUT1,

VOUT2,3 or VOUT4,5 is too high, make sure the outputs are

loaded by at least the LDO minimum load current of 1mA,

2mA and 2mA respectively.

4. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust

each load within its operating range and observe the

output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and

other parameters.
