DESCRIPTION

LTC3862-2

Low Noise PolyPhase

SEPIC

DC/DC Converter

Demonstration circuit 1891A is a 2-phase high efficiency

nonisolated SEPIC (single ended primary inductor con-

verter) converter featuring the LTC

3862-2 switching

controller. The DC1891A converts a 6V to 60V input to

a12V output and provides 6A of output current. The

converter operates at 300kHz (600kHz output ripple) with

efficiency around 90%. With a proper amount of airflow,

the DC1891A converter can generate over 6A of output

current. The DC1891A can be easily modified to generate

output voltages in the range from 0.8V to 48V.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Also,theDC1891Acanbeoptimized forspecificinputvolt-

ages. The narrowing of input voltage range can increase

theconverter’sefficiency.Therefore,anarrowinputvoltage

range is more desirable.

The LTC3862-2 can be synchronized to an external clock

of up to 400kHz. Please refer to LTC3862-2 data sheet for

design details and applications information.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 1891A is easy to set up to evaluate

theperformanceoftheLTC3862-2circuit.RefertoFigure1

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 VIN or VOUT and GND terminals. See Figure 2 for

the proper scope probe technique.

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

and GND. Make sure that the input power supply has

sufficient current rating at minimum input voltage for

the required output load.

2. Turn on the power at the input.

NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed

60V.

3. Check for the proper output voltage.

VOUT = 12V, ±3%.

If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the load

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

4. Oncetheproperoutputvoltage isestablished,adjustthe

load within the operating range and observe the output

voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and other

parameters.

5. The DC1891A is equipped with an input capacitor CIN4

that is optional and is used to help with filtering when

the board is connected to the lab supply with long leads.

The capacitor CIN4 can be removed if the input power

source is close and has low source impedance.

CHANGING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE

To set the output voltage lower or higher than 12V, change

the bottom voltage divider resistor connected to the FB

pin of U1 (see the Schematic Diagram). Also, check the

MOSFET, output diode and capacitor voltage ratings if the

output voltage is set higher than 12V.

The optional Q5 circuit is used to get the circuit running.

Once the circuit is running, the 12V output is used to

bias U1 via D2. The start-up circuit Q5 is turned off by Q6

when VOUT gets to the level set by D3, R14 and R16 that

activates Q6. Please contact the LTC factory for details.

Small Amount of Output Capacitance

Figure 5. The DC1891A Ramps the Output Slowly at Start-Up

without Generating an Input Current Surge

OUTPUT LOAD STEP RESPONSE

The load step response of DC1891A is very fast even

though a relatively small amount of output capacitance

is present (188µF ceramic and 440µF electrolytic). The

load step transients are shown in Figure 4. To improve

load step response further or to reduce the output ripple,

more output capacitance can be added. Low ESR output

capacitors will have the greatest effect on reducing the

ripple and load step transients.

SOFT-START FUNCTION

The DC1891A features a soft-start circuit that controls the

inrush current and output voltage ramp at start-up. The

capacitor CSS controls the start-up period. The start-up

waveforms are shown in Figure 5.
