DESCRIPTION

LTC3784

High Efficiency PolyPhase

Synchronous Boost Converter

Demonstration circuit DC2061 is a DC/DC synchro-

nous boost converter featuring the LT C

3784 con-

stant frequency current mode synchronous boost

controller. The DC2061A operates over a 6V to 60V

input, develops a 48V output and provides 3A to 12A

of output current as shown in Figure 3. The 150kHz

(2 • 150kHz at the output) constant frequency operation

results in a small and efficient circuit. The converter pro-

vides high output voltage accuracy (typically ±3%) over

wide load range with no minimum load requirement. The

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

demonstration circuit can be easily modified to generate

different output voltages.

The DC2061 has a small circuit footprint. It is a high per-

formance and cost effective solution for telecom, auto-

motive and Power over Ethernet applications.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit DC2061 is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTC3784. For proper measure-

ment equipment setup refer to Figure 1 and follow the

procedure below:

Note: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,

care must be taken to minimize the length of oscilloscope

probe ground lead. Measure the input or output voltage

ripple by connecting the probe tip directly across the VIN

or VOUT and GND terminals as shown in Figure 2.

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

and GND.

2. Keep the load set to 0A or disconnected.

3. Turn the input power source on and slowly increase

the input voltage. Be careful not to exceed 60V.

Note: Make sure that the input voltage, VIN, does not ex-

ceed 60V. If higher operating voltage is required, power

components with higher voltage ratings should be used.

When the input voltage is set higher than 48V the output

voltage will follow the input voltage.

4. Set the input voltage to 6V and check for the proper

output voltage of 48V. Set the output load to 2A. If there

is no output, temporarily disconnect the load to make

sure that the load is not set too high.

5. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust

the load and observe the output voltage regulation,

ripple voltage, efficiency and other parameters.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Changing The Output Voltage

To set the output voltage lower than 48V, change the

bottom voltage divider resistors connected to LTC3784

FB pin (see the Schematic Diagram). To get higher than a

48V output voltage, MOSFETs and capacitors with higher

voltage ratings may be required.

Note that the output voltage will start following the input

voltage when input voltage is greater than the voltage

set by the voltage divider. In this mode (wire mode) the

synchronous output rectifier MOSFET is turned continu-

ously ON. The only losses in this mode are due to the

current sense resistors, inductors and output MOSFETs

DC resistance.

Converter Efficiency And Output Current

The DC2061 output current capability depends on the

input voltage and proper cooling. Typical performance of

DC2061A is shown in Figure 3. As can be seen from Fig-

ure3, the output current capability depends on the input

voltage. Also, when input voltage is equal to, or higher

than the output voltage setting (wire mode) the efficiency

is very high (99%) since the converter is not really running

and the output MOSFET is shorting VIN to VOUT.

in Thermally Critical Applications with Outputs Over 3A

Output Load Step Response

The load step response of DC2061A is very good even

though relatively small amount of output capacitance

is present at the output. If higher load steps need to be

handled more output capacitance can be added in order to

keep the voltage transients at the desired level. The load

step transients are shown in Figure 4. Also, note that the

load step response even from 0% load is excellent thanks

to synchronous rectification.

Soft-Start Function

The DC2061 features soft-start circuit that controls the

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

capacitor C15 (Figure 6) controls the start-up period. The

start-up waveforms are shown in Figure 5. Please note the

small output voltage step at about –2ms mark. The step

is resulting from synchronous MOSFET being turned on.

When the synchronous MOSFET is turned on the voltage

drop across the synchronous MOSFET (body diode) is

reduced from about 0.7V to IOUT • RDS(ON). While the syn-

chronous MOSFET is in off state (prior to –2ms mark) the

synchronous MOSFET body diodes are dissipating about

0.7V • IOUT or about 2.1W with 3A load. Please refer to

the LTC3784 data sheet for details about proper handling

of synchronous MOSFETs in your application.

Bias Circuit

The LTC3784 can operate with input voltages up to 65V.

However, depending oninput voltage, operating frequency

and MOSFETs that are used the power dissipation in the

part may become too high. In order to provide bias power

at high input voltage the DC2061 circuit is equipped with

high efficiency bias circuit LTC3630A.

If the circuit is to be used with limited input voltage the bias

power can be derived directly from input power source.

Options to power the LTC3784 from VIN or VOUT are

provided on DC2061. Please remove the LTC3630A circuit

in order to use these options. Also, refer to the data sheet

for more information about bias power.
