Description

LTM8055

36VIN, 8.5A Buck-Boost

μModule

Regulator

Demonstration circuit 2017A features the LTM

8055, a

buck-boost μModule

regulator that accepts input volt-

ages lower, higher or the same as the output, but is also

highly efficient due to its four-switch architecture. The

output for DC2017A is 12V and the input voltage range

is 5V to 36V. The maximum output current is 6A and the

switching frequency is 600kHz.

DC2017Asupportstheadjustableandcontrollablefeatures

of the LTM8055 including output voltage and current

regulation,switching frequency,RUNthreshold, soft-start

period, synchronization and reverse inductor current in-

hibit. In most cases, adjustment is made by modifying the

appropriateresistor orcapacitorcomponent(s).DC2017A

provides output current monitoring and a clock output.

performance summary

Input current monitoring and regulation requires the in-

stallation 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 DC2017As in parallel.

The LTM8055 data sheet must be read in conjunction with

this demo manual to properly use or modify DC2017A.

Quick start proceDure

To use DC2017A to evaluate the performance of the

LTM8055, refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement

equipmentsetup,Figure2forthemaximumoutputcurrent

versus input voltage and then 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 LTM8055, an

aluminum electrolytic capacitor with higher ESR is placed

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

notall,inputtransientsduetoahot-pluggedpowersupply.

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

ripplebytouchingtheprobetipdirectlytoterminalsacross

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

probe technique. Solder terminals near the input or output

capacitors, if necessary.

1. ConnecttheRUN terminal to groundwitha 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 36V

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.
