Demonstration circuit 1811B-B is a dual-output, high efficiency, high density, µModule® regulator with 4.5V to 26.5V input range. Each output can supply 13A maximum load current. The demo board has a LTM4676A µModule regulator, which is a dual 13A or single 26A step-down regulator with PMBus power system management. Please see LTM4676A data sheet for more detailed information. The DC1811B-B powers up to default settings and produces power based on configuration resistors without the need for any serial bus communication. This allows easy evaluation of the DC/DC converter. To fully explore the extensive power system management features of the part, download the GUI software LTpowerPlay® onto your PC and use ADI’s I2C/SMBus/PMBus dongle DC1613A to connect to the board. LTpowerPlay allows the user to reconfigure the part on-the-fly and store the configuration in EEPROM, view telemetry of voltage, current, temperature and fault status.

Demonstration circuit 1721B is a 14.6V, 5A battery charger and PowerPath™ manager with 6VIN to 36VIN buck-boost converter featuring the LTC4000-1/LTC3789, targeted at 4-cell LiFePO4 applications. The LTC4000-1 has an input voltage regulation loop for Maximum Power Point Control (MPPC). MPPC extracts near maximum power from high impedance sources such as solar panels, wind turbines, or fuel cells. The output of this demo board was specifically tailored for a Tenergy 10A-hour battery, P/N 30207. Other voltages can be set by changing ROFB2 and RBFB2. The desired nominal voltage can be accurately trimmed by using trim resistors R42 and R43. For example, for 14.4V battery float voltage, change ROFB2 and RBFB2 to 86.6k, and add 7.5M at R42 and R43 for greater set point accuracy. This circuit was designed to demonstrate the high levels of performance, efficiency, and small solution size attainable using these ICs in a buck-boost converter battery charger, intelligent PowerPath manager, and power supply. It operates at 400kHz and produces a regulated 5A/14.6V battery charger output as well as a system output of up to 6.25A from an input voltage range of 6V to 36V: suitable for a wide variety of portable applications including instruments, industrial equipment, power tools, and computers.

Demonstration circuits 2324A-A, 2324A-B, and 2324A-C are active clamp forward converters with synchronous rectification featuring the LT3753. These circuits were designed to demonstrate the high level of performance, efficiency and small solution size attainable using this part. They operate at 240kHz. The DC2324A-A produces a 24V/5A output from an input voltage range of 36V to 72V. The DC2324A-B produces a 24V/5A output from an input voltage range of 18V to 36V. The DC2324A-C produces a 24V/4A output from an input voltage range of 9V to 18V, making it suitable for telecom, industrial and other isolated power supply applications.

The LTC5562 is a versatile low power mixer optimized for applications requiring very wide input bandwidth, low distortion, and low LO leakage. This mixer can be used for either upconverting or downconverting applications, and provides a nominal conversion gain of 1dB. Demonstration circuit 2483A-A showcases the LTC5562 mixer for upconverting applications while demonstration circuit 2483A-B is tuned for downconverting applications. The differential inputs are optimized for use with 1:1 transmission- line baluns, allowing very wideband impedance matching. The LTC5562 uses a 3.3V supply for low power consumption and an enable pin allows the part to be shut down for further power savings. The total mixer current is adjustable, allowing for even further power savings. The standard match frequency ranges for each board are outlined in the table below.

Demonstration circuit 1807A is a dual output, dual phase synchronous buck converter featuring the LTC3869EUFD. The input voltage range is 4.5V to 14V, output voltages and currents are 1.5V/15A and 1.2V/15A. Two versions of the board are available. DC1807A-A has an on-board sense resistor for current feedback, while the DC1807A-B is configured with a DCR sense circuit that allows the converter to use the inductors DCR as the sense element instead of the on-board sense resistors to save cost and board space and improves efficiency.

Demonstration circuit DC2343A is a complete system level solution for a nanopower buck-boost DC/DC with integrated coulomb counter. The DC2343A contains a PIC16F1459 embedded processor for communication to the PC over USB and the LTC3335 via its I2C port. The GUI is capable of reading and writing all the control registers on the LTC3335 as well as displaying and resetting all its alarm registers. The firmware and software for the embedded system and the GUI are available at the LTC3335 solutions page. The DC2343A uses two analog-to-digital converter channels to sample the battery and output voltages. The voltage samples improve the functionality of the GUI, and allow optimal software correction to the measured coulombs. By adding the software correction the first order known errors are compensated for over the operating range and the resultant coulomb count is accurate to within 3%.

DC1870A is a 1.5A low dropout linear regulator featuring the LT3081. The device is designed for rugged industrial applications and can be paralleled for higher output current or heat spreading. Besides paralleling, the LT3081 also presents other features including adjustability to zero VOUT, reverse protection for input and output-to-input voltages, temperature monitor, output current monitor, etc. A key feature of the LT3081 is the extended safe operating area (SOA). With the precision zero TC 50μA reference current source, a single resistor programs the output voltage to any level between zero and 34.5V. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery and reverse-current protection, current limiting and thermal limiting.
