Demonstration circuit DC2857A is a 36V 2A synchronous 2MHz boost LED driver featuring the LT3922-1. It drives a single string of LEDs at 330mA up to 34V when VIN is between 7V and 28V. It runs down to 4VIN with reduced ILED and can withstand VIN as high as 36V, but has overvoltage lockout (OVLO) set for 28V for this application. DC2857A runs at 2MHz switching frequency. Spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM) can be turned on with a simple jumper, reducing EMI. DC2857A comes with low EMI features including optimized layout, SSFM and input EMI filter. It passes CISPR 25 class 5 conducted and radiated EMI. It is protected against both open and short LED conditions and reports the faults. The LT3922-1 has an input voltage range from 2.8V to 36V. Its internal synchronous 2A 40V switches allow up to 34V of LEDs on the output with room for over voltage protection and overshoot during an open LED event. It has adjustable switching frequency between 200kHz and 2.5MHz. It can be synchronized to an external source or programmed with SSFM for low EMI. The PWMTG highside PWM MOSFET driver assists with short-circuit protection and versatility. LT3922-1 can be configured as a boost, boost-buck, or buck mode LED driver and maintain all of its low EMI, PWM dimming, and fault diagnostic features. The LT3922-1 can be PWM dimmed with an external PWM signal or an internally-generated PWM signal. DC2857A has a jumper that can be set to switch between internallygenerated PWM signal, externally-generated PWM signal, and no PWM signal (100% on). It can be analog dimmed with a control voltage on its control pin (CTRL). When run with both PWM dimming and spread spectrum, the spread spectrum aligns itself with the PWM signal for flicker-free operation. Small ceramic input and output capacitors are used to save space and cost. The board is designed with tiny, high frequency capacitors on both sides of the VOUT pins for a reduction in radiated EMI. The open LED overvoltage protection uses the IC’s constant voltage regulation loop to regulate the output to approximately 37.5V if the LED string is opened, although it may reach almost 40V peak during transient from running LEDs to open. There is a protection diode from LED+ to GND to prevent negative ringing during a short-circuit. The output current can be monitored through the ISMON output pin. Undervoltage and overvoltage lockout can be adjusted on the circuit with a few simple resistor choices. There is an EMI filter on the input of DC2857A. Please follow the recommend layout and four-layer thickness of DC2857A for low EMI applications. The LT3922-1 data sheet gives a complete description of the part, operation and applications information. The LT3922EUFD-1 is assembled in a 28-lead plastic 4mm × 5mm QFN package with a thermally enhanced ground pad. Proper board layout is essential for maximum thermal performance. See the data sheet section Layout Considerations.

Demonstration circuit 2896A-B demonstrates a high power boost converter and features the LT®8551 the phase expander with internal gate drivers. The DC2896A-B employs LTC3769, a single-phase boost controller as primary controller and LT8551 as the phase expander which added four more power phases. The increased number of power sections connected to the LT8551, results in greater higher level output power without a corresponding increase in the difficulty of the design or a sacrifice of primary controller LTC3769 features. The input voltage range of DC2896A-B is from 10V to 46V and the output is 48V. The maximum input current is 12A per power section, so the maximum input current of DC2896A-B is 60A. It’s reflected to 30A of output current and output power of 1,440W at an input voltage of 24V. Correspondingly output current will drop to 14.5A and output power will to 720W at a 12V input voltage, to keep the input current at the same level of 60A. Both values will increase at higher voltages. The input current value can be increased above 60A, if heat sinks are installed, see parts list below. The switching frequency is 250kHz and at a 24V input to 48VOUT at full load, the efficiency of DC2896A-B is 98%. As the input voltage decreases, the output current should be decreased as well, to prevent saturation of the DC2896A-B inductors, the derating curve presented on Figure 3. Efficiency curves presented on Figure 4. DC2896A-B resistors R114 to R119 program the phase relationship between the power sections, by setting the Total Distinct Phase Number (TDPN). For increasing efficiency and reducing switching losses at light loads DC2896A-B supports disconnecting some power sections. This mode of operation designated as the stage shedding and it is programed by the jumper J3 STAGE SHED. Jumper JP1 programs the LT8551 SYNC pin and it allows DC2896A-B to be synchronized to an external clock. The print circuit board of DC2896A also supports two phase expander controllers, the LT8561 and LT8551, with versions DC2896A-A and DC2896A-B correspondingly. The table [1] in the electrical schematic describes differences between both versions, including controller biasing and gate drive voltages. DC2896A-B has jumper SHDN (JP2) for manually enable or disable controller. The SYNC (E19) input can be used to sync LT8551 with an external signal. There are also terminals that make it easy to monitor the control logic of the LT8551 functional. The current sense resistors RSNS1 to RSNS5 used for implementation of current mode control, monitoring and sharing current between the phases. To further increase efficiency DC2896A-B supports optional DCR sensing of inductors L1 to L5. DC2896A-B includes sense line filters and filter options for inputs to the LT8551 in accordance with data sheet recommendations. Undervoltage shutdown, switching frequency and LT8551 ILIM current limit levels can all be adjusted by resistors or resistor jumpers. DC2896A-B comes with a housekeeping circuit based on U3 controller. It reduces the power dissipation that would otherwise occur at high input voltages in regulator transistor Q21. The housekeeping circuit also stabilizes converter biasing at sudden input voltage drops. A high level of available output power without a corresponding high level of design complexity makes the LT8551 attractive for high power DC bus and battery systems in commercial, industrial and automotive settings. DC2896A-B features the LT8551EUKG in a thermally enhanced 52-pin 7mm × 8mm QFN package.

The LT8636 switching frequency can be programmed either via oscillator resistor or external clock over a 200kHz to 3MHz range. The default frequency of demo circuit 2918A is 2MHz. The SYNC/MODE pin on the demo board 2918A is grounded (JP1 at BURST position) by default for low ripple Burst Mode® operation. To synchronize to an external clock, move the Jump JP1 to SYNC/FCM and apply the external clock to the SYNC terminal on the 2918A. In sync mode, the part runs in forced continuous mode. Without external clock applied, the SYNC/MODE pin is floating, and the part runs in forced continuous mode. This mode offers fast transient response and full frequency operation over a wide load range. Alternatively, move the Jump JP1 to the SPREAD-SPECTRUM, and the SYNC/MODE is tied to INTVCC, the part runs in forced continuous mode with spread spectrum function enabled. To get accurate efficiency measurement, measure the input voltage at the VIN_SENSE and GND terminals, which are Kelvin connected to the input cap C2 through signal traces. The LT8636 is assembled in a 4mmx3mm LQFN package with exposed pads for low thermal resistance.

To achieve EMI/EMC performance, the input EMI filter is required and the input voltage should be applied at VEMI terminal, and the setup can be referred to the CISPR 25 standards.
