DESCRIPTION
LT3999EMSE
Low Noise Isolated
Power Supply
The DC2049Ademonstrates how apower supply regulates
two output voltage by using the LT
®
3999 and low dropout
(LDO) regulators.
The LT3999 is a monolithic push-pull DC/DC driver which
features wide input range and small external passive
components.
The LT3999 has duty circle control for ΔVIN compensa-
tion, which allows for a wide input voltage range and low
LDO losses.
TheDC2049Aemploysapush-pulltopologythatinherently
provides a low-noise solution. The design is well suited
to noise sensitive systems such as medical instruments,
industrial sensing and control, data conversion and wide
band communications. The post regulator LDOs reduce
output noise further. For more details about the LDOs,
please check the LT3065 and LT3090 data sheets. 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.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
TheDC2049A produces an isolated 12VOUT and–12VOUT at
up to 200mA each from a 10V~ 15.5V input voltage range.
This board can be modified, by changing the transformer
(and duty cycle), to produce other output voltages.
TheDC2049A featuresa small transformer,small inductors
and capacitors that work at a 1MHz switching frequency.
The LT3999 data sheet gives a complete description of the
part,operation and applicationsinformation. The datasheet
must be read in conjunction with this demo manual. The
LT3999EMSE is assembled in a 10-lead plastic MSE pack-
age with a thermally enhanced ground pad. Proper board
layout is essential for maximum thermal performance. See
the data sheet section Layout Consideration Check List.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
DC2049A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of
the LT3999EMSE. Refer to Figure 1 for proper measure-
ment equipment setup and follow the procedure below:
1. Connect Load 1 (positive) between the VOUT1 and GND
terminals and another Load 2 (negative) between the
VOUT2 and GND terminals.
2. With power off, connect the input power supply to the
+VIN and –VIN terminals.
3. Turn the input power supply on and make sure the
voltage is between 10V and 15.5V.
4. To measure the output noise, connect one end of a BNC
connector J1. Connect the other end of the BNC cable
to an oscilloscope with a 50Ω input impedance. Refer
to Application Note 70 for more precise techniques for
measuring the output noise.

*J1 is the BNC connector to coaxial
cable for noise measurement, please
refer to AN70 Appendix B for details.
