DC1710A-C: Demo Board for the LTC5592 Dual 1.6GHz to 2.7GHz High Dynamic Range Downconverting Mixer.

Demonstration circuit DC2448A-B features a PolyPhase® design using the LTM4636EY, a 40A high efficiency, switch mode step-down power µModule® regulator. The input voltage range is from 4.7V to 15V. When VIN < 5.5V, short PVCC to VIN with R1 = 0Ω, and set R3 = 0Ω and remove R2. The output voltage range is 0.6V to 3.3V. The DC2448A-B can deliver a nominal 120A output current. As explained in the data sheet, output current derating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT, and thermal conditions. The board operates in continuous conduction mode in heavy load conditions. For high efficiency at low load currents, the MODE_PLLIN jumper selects pulse-skipping mode for noise sensitive applications or Burst Mode® operation in less noise sensitive applications. The MODE_PLLIN pin also allows the LTM4636 to synchronize to an external clock signal. The phases of the three LTM4636s are 0 degrees, 120 degrees and 240 degrees. DC2448A-B has the option of choosing both internal and external compensation circuit for LTM4636. The LTM4636 data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual prior to working on or modifying demo circuit DC2448A-B.

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 SCP-LT3470A-BEVALZ is a 40V micropower DFN buck regulator featuring the LT3470A. The board is optimized for 3.3V output at up to 250mA load current for a steady state input voltage range of 4V to 36V. Like all boards in the Signal Chain Power series, this board is designed to be easily plugged into other SCP boards to form a complete signal chain power system, enabling fast evaluation of low power signal chains. To evaluate this board, some universal SCP hardware is required, namely: SCP-INPUT-EVALZ SCP-OUTPUT-EVALZ SCP-1X5BKOUT-EVALZ SCP-THRUBRD-EVALZ SCP-FILTER-EVALZ SCP-1X2BKOUT-EVALZ SCP-5X1-EVALZ   To properly evaluate SCP series demo boards, you will need the SCP Configurator companion software. SCP Configurator can help you choose the right board and topology for your design. Note that the Demo Manual does not cover details important to the operation and configuration regarding the LT3470A. Please refer to the LT3470A data sheet for a complete description of the part.

Demonstration circuit 2686A is a 1.3A 8-switch matrix LED dimmer system with an I2C to CAN-physical transceiver featuring the LT3967 and LT3960. This demonstration circuit connects directly to a LED string and LED driver demonstration circuit to allow for independent dimming control of up to 8 channels of LEDs. A Linduino® One demonstration circuit is used to interface with the board and can connect in one of two different ways: Connect directly to a Linduino One demonstration circuit with a QuikEval™ ribbon cable. Connect using the LT3960 break-off board to connect to the I2C master device, but pass data over two twisted pair lines to the LT3960 on the main PCB. The LT3967 matrix dimmer features 8 individually con-trolled 1.3A rated floating NMOS switch channels and can support up to 56V of LEDs per device. The channels of the LT3967 can be configured for series connections, or non-series connections. Additional DC2686A demo circuits can be connected in series for higher number of LEDs, or in parallel to allow for higher current operation. Resistors are used to configure both the I2C slave address as well as the default start-up state. The default configuration for DC2686A sets the I2C address as 0000 with all LEDs off. See the LT3967 data sheet for details. The LT3960 I2C to CAN-Physical transceiver is used to send and receive I2C data through harsh or noisy environments at up to 400kb/s using the CAN-Physical layer for differential signaling over twisted pair connections. Both SDA and SCL data lines are converted to differential signals and are shared between devices connected to the bus. This allows for physical separation of the I2C source with the LT3960 transceiver board and the LT3967 main PCB along with the LED driver. This demo circuit is designed to be easily configured and interfaced with a compatible low output capacitance LED driver and LED string. It can easily be directly attached to a buck LED driver or a floating buck-mode LED driver. More sophisticated setups with series matrix dimmers for higher number of LEDs such as 12 or 16 is possible. Please consult factory applications for details or look for more details on analog.com. The LT3967 and LT3960 data sheets give complete description of the parts, their operation and applications information. The data sheets must be read in conjunction with the demo manual for demonstration circuit DC2686A. The LT3967EFE is assembled in a thermally enhanced 28-lead TSSOP package. The LT3960EMSE is assembled in a 10-lead MSOP package.

Demonstration circuit EVAL-LT8685S-AZ is a 4-rail power supply featuring the LT8685S, a 42V quad monolithic synchronous step-down silent switcher. The demo circuit is designed for 5V, 3.3V, 1.8V, and 1.2V outputs from a nominal 12V input. The 5V and 3.3V rails are powered from the 12V input, while the 1.8V and 1.2V rails are powered from one of the high voltage buck regulators of 5V or 3.3V. The current capability is 2.5A for the channels 1 and 2. The current ratings for the low voltage channels are 4A. The two 42V regulators may be combined to provide up to 5A of output current using a single inductor. Similarly, the two 8V regulators may be combined to provide up to 8A of output current using a single inductor. Individual track/soft-start, current limit, independent enable and power good for each channel simplify the complex design of quad-output power converters. All regulators can be synchronized to a common external clock input or internal oscillator that can be programmed with a single resistor for switching frequency from 350kHz to 3MHz, allowing for optimal system design per specific applications. The Performance Summary table in the demo manual summarizes the performance of the demo board at room temperature. The circuit can be easily modified for different applications. The LT8685S data sheet gives a complete description of the part, operation and application information. The data sheet must be read in conjunction with the quick start guide for demo circuit EVAL-LT8685S-AZ.
