DESCRIPTION

LTC3867EUF

High Efficiency Synchronous

Buck Converter

Demonstrationcircuit1928Ais asingleoutputsynchronous

buck converter featuring the LT C

3867EUF in a 24-lead

4mm x 4mm QFN package.

The DC1928A is configured with a sense resistor. Inductor

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

as the sense element instead of the onboard sense resistor

saves cost, board space while improving efficiency. Using

a sense resistor provides 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, an

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

optional temperature compensated DCR sense circuit,

and selectable continuous, pulse-skipping or Burst Mode

operation. Synchronization to an external clock is also

possible.

The input voltage range is from 18V to 36V. The LTC3867

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

tion and application information and must be read in con-

junction with this demo manual for DC1928A.

DEMO MANUAL DC1928A

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit DC1928A is easy to set up to evalu-

ate the performance of the LTC3867EUF. Please refer to

Figure 2 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 24V.

3. Turn on the power supply at the input.

Note:Makesure that theinput voltage doesnot exceed 36V.

4. Check the output voltage. The output voltage should

be between 11.76V and 12.24V.

Oncethe proper output voltage isestablished, 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. ChangeJP3 jumper position to selectdifferent operation

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.

Demonstration circuit 1928A is configured for an onboard

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

by changingthe value of C24. Demonstration circuit1928A

can also be modified to track an external reference. Refer

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

more details.
