Demonstration circuit SCP-LT8362-S-EVALZ features the LT8362 in a SEPIC configuration. It operates with a switching frequency of 2MHz and has an output voltage of 12V. 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-FILTER-EVALZ SCP-THRUBRD-EVALZ SCP-1X2BKOUT-EVALZ SCP-1X5BKOUT-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 LT8362. Please refer to the LT8362 datasheet for a complete description of the part.

Demonstration Circuit 2039A features the LTC4015EUHF, a Multichemistry Buck Battery Charger with Digital Telemetry System, operating as a 2-cell Li-Ion, 8A battery charger. The DC2039A allows configuring the LTC4015 to support up to 9 cells for Li-Ion and LiFePO4, and 3, 6, or 12 cells for Lead-Acid batteries. Programmable and fully automatic charge algorithms can be chosen for each of the chemistries.

Demonstration circuit 2069A features LT8490, a high performance buck-boost converter that implements an MPPT function and flexible charging profiles suitable for most battery types such as flooded and sealed lead acid batteries and Lithium-Ion batteries, and can operate from input voltages above, below or equal to the battery voltage.

Demonstration circuit 2234A is a synchronous sepic converter featuring the LT8711 multitopology switching controller. The LT8711 is a current mode PWM DC/DC controller with a dual input LDO to optimize gate driver efficiency. Ultralow 15μA quiescent current in low noise Burst Mode® operation achieves high efficiency at very light loads and helps extend the run-time in battery powered applications when in standby mode. The LT8711 switching frequency can be programmed either via oscillator resistor or external clock over a 100kHz to 750kHz range.

Demonstration circuit 2310A is optimized for evaluation of the LTC5549 passive double-balanced mixer with integrated LO frequency doubler. Its RF port is matched to 50Ω from 2GHz to 13.6GHz with 9dB return loss, and the LO port is matched to 50Ω from 1GHz to 12GHz with 10dB return loss. The IF output is matched to 50Ω from 700MHz to 6GHz with 10dB return loss. The LTC5549 can be used for upconverting and downconverting applications.

Demonstration circuit 2469A features the LT8603 with triple monolithic buck regulators and the boost channel as SEPIC. The demo circuit is designed for 8V, 5V, 3.3V, and 1.8V outputs from a nominal 12V input. The 4th channel is set as a SEPIC converter and its output is regulated at 8V over a wide input range. The two high voltage buck regulators are powered from VOUT4. VOUT1 is regulated at 5V with 1.5A maximum output load current, and VOUT2 is at 3.3V with 2.5A maximum output load current. The low voltage buck is powered from VOUT2 (3.3V), and the output VOUT3 is regulated at 1.8V with 1.8A maximum load current. Thanks to the SEPIC converter, all four outputs can ride through a cold crank in automotive applications while providing regulated output voltages.

Demonstration circuit 2910A is low VIN, high efficiency, and dual 2A output µModule DC/DC converter. The board operates by default at a fixed 2MHz and can be synchronized from 1MHz to 3MHz via the MODE/SYNC pin. With its high switching frequency and current mode architecture, a fast transient response to line and load changes is possible without sacrificing stability. The DC2910A can be used in forced continuous mode or pulse skip mode for low noise, or in burst mode operation for high efficiency at light loads. The demo board features the LTM4691, which is available in a low profile 3mm x 4mm x 1.2mm LGA package. Please see the LTM4691 datasheet for more detailed information. It is recommended to read the data sheet for the LTM4691 prior to making any changes to the DC2910A.

Demonstration Circuit 383B is multipurpose demonstration board featuring the LT1930 and LT1931. The demo board offers three separate DC/DC converters. The Boost circuit is designed to convert a 5V input to 12V output at 300mA maximum load. The SEPIC circuit generates a 12V/300mA output from a 10V~16V variable input. The Inverter circuit is designed for applications requiring -12V/350mA from a positive 12V input.

Demonstration circuit DC674B is a complete Fast Battery Charger capable of charging 3, 4, 6 or 10 series connected NiMH or NiCd cells. Other cell counts can also be charged (up to 16 cells) by installing an appropriate resistor on the board. The power portion of the circuit consists of a 550kHz synchronous step-down constant current source which provides 2A of charge current. Other charge currents can be selected by changing the sense resistor value, and for higher charge current (2 to 4A), the PC board has a dual layout for the top switch to allow a larger FET to be used. A PowerPath™ FET is also included that provides a low voltage drop path between the battery and an external system load when the input power is removed Charge termination includes -ΔV, ΔT/Δt, peak voltage and a safety timer.
