DEMO MANUAL DC1687A LTC3115EDHD-1 40V, 2A Synchronous Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter Description Demonstration circuit 1687A features the LTC(R)3115-1, a high voltage monolithic synchronous buck-boost converter. The DC1687A demo board has two user selectable operating modes: Burst Mode(R) operation and forced continuous operation (fixed frequency PWM) (JP1). There is also an accurate programmable RUN pin which is used to enable the converter (JP2). The DC1687A operates with a 2.7V to 40V input voltage range. The demo board has been designed with the output voltage set to 5.0V. The LTC3115-1 incorporates a proprietary low noise switching algorithm which optimizes efficiency with input voltages above, below or equal to the output voltage and ensures seamless transitions between operating modes. The demo board has been programmed to operate at 1MHz in PWM mode to optimize small size with high efficiency operation. The demo board also has optional provisions to back feed VCC in order to increase efficiency in some 5V output applications. There is also a provision for an optional Schottky diode from SW2 to VOUT for applications where VOUT is greater than 20V and short circuit protection is desired. Consult the data sheet for more information on these options. Figures 1 and 2 show typical demo board efficiency. The LTC3115-1 data sheet has detailed information about the operation, specifications, and applications of the part. The data sheet should be read in conjunction with this quick start guide.

Performance Summary PARAMETER VALUE Input Voltage Range 2.7V to 40V VOUT 5.0V IOUT (See Note 1) 1A For VIN 3.6V, 2A For VIN > 6V Efficiency See Figures 1 and 2 Note 1: The Demo Board output current is a function of VIN. Please refer to the data sheet for more information dc1687af 1 DEMO MANUAL DC1687A Quick Start Procedure Using short twisted pair leads for any power connections and with all loads and power supplies off, refer to Figure 3 for the proper measurement and equipment setup. The battery/power supply (PS1) should not be connected to the circuit until told to do so in the procedure below. 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 4), or by using an oscilloscope probe tip jack. 1. Jumper and PS1 settings to start: PS1 = OFF JP1 (PWM) = fixed frequency JP2 (RUN) = ON 4. Turn on PS1 and slowly increase voltage until the voltage at VIN is 4.0V. 5. Verify VOUT is ~5.0V. 6. VIN can now be varied between 2.7V and 40.0V. IOUT may need to be reduced for VIN < 4V. VOUT should remain in regulation. 7. Load current (IOUT) can also be varied. The maximum IOUT is a function of VIN and the current limit. Consult the data sheet for more information on IOUT vs VIN. In general for VIN > 3.6V IOUT can be increased to 1A. For VIN > 6V IOUT can be increased to 2A. 8. For operation in Burst Mode operation move Jumper JP1 to burst. IOUT is limited in Burst Mode operation. See the data sheet for more information. 9. NOTE: If VOUT drops out of regulation, check to be sure the maximum load has not been exceeded, or that VIN is not below the minimum value for regulation (see data sheet) 100 100 90 90 EFFICIENCY (%) EFFICIENCY (%) 2. With power OFF connect the power supply (PS1) as shown in Figure 3. If accurate current measurements are desired (for efficiency calculation for example) then connect an ammeter in series with the supply as shown. The ammeter is not required however. 3. Connect a 500mA load to VOUT as shown in Figure 3 (10 for VOUT = 5V). Connect an ammeter if accurate current measurement or monitoring is desired. 80 70 60 50 80 70 60 LOAD = 500mA LOAD = 1A 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 VIN (V) Figure 1.
