Description

LTM8054

36VIN, 5.4A Buck-Boost

μModule Regulator

Demonstration circuit 2016A features the LTM8054, a

synchronous buck-boost μModule regulator that accepts

input voltages lower, higher or the same as the output,

but is also highly efficient due to its four-switch archi-

tecture. The output for DC2016A is 12V and the input

voltage range is 6V to 35V– see the LTM8054 data sheet

for application circuits with input voltages up to 36V.

The maximum output current of DC2016A is 3A and the

switching frequency is 600kHz.

DC2016Asupportstheadjustable and controllable features

of the LTM8054 including output voltage and current

regulation, switching frequency, RUN threshold, soft-

start period, synchronization and reverse inductor current

inhibit. In most cases, adjustment is made by modifying

the appropriate resistor or capacitor component(s).

L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear

Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

DC2016A provides output current monitoring and a clock

output. Input current monitoring and regulation requires

the installation of a current sense resistor. The SVIN input

for controller power can be made a diode-OR of power

VIN and the output voltage to extend the operating range

of power VIN to lower voltages. There are places to mount

optional components that add an LC input filter and also a

unity gain buffer to operate multiple DC2016As in parallel.

The LTM8054 data sheet must be read in conjunction with

this demo manual to properly use or modify DC2016A.

Quick start proceDure

To use DC2016A to evaluate the performance of the

LTM8054, refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement

equipment setup, Figure 2 for the maximum output current

versus input voltage and then follow the procedure below:

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

ages. The absolute maximum voltage rating for VIN of the

LTM8054 is 40V and hot-plugging a power supply through

wireleadstothe demonstration circuitcancausethevoltage

on the extremely low ESR ceramic input capacitor to ring

to twice its DC value. In order to protect the LTM8054, an

aluminum electrolytic capacitor with higher ESR is placed

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

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

See Application Note 88 for more details.

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 to terminals across

the VIN or VOUT capacitors. See Figure 3 for proper scope

probe technique. Solder terminals near the input or output

capacitors, if necessary.

1. Connect the RUN terminal to ground with a clip-on lead.

Connect the power supply (with power off), load, and

meters as shown in Figure 1.

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

and verify that the input voltage is between 6V and 35V

3. Remove the clip-on lead from RUN. Verify that VOUT is

12V.

NOTE: If VOUT is too low, temporarily disconnect the load

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

Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the

input voltage and load within the operating range and

observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, ef-

ficiency and other parameters.
