Demonstration circuit DC2907A features the LT8338, a low IQ, Synchronous Boost Converter in a thermally enhanced 10-lead plastic MSOP package. DC2907A is designed to convert a 4V to 16V source to 24V output, with up to 460mA of load current, depending on the input voltage. It was designed with a switching frequency of 2.2MHz. DC2907A contains a selectable jumper, JP1, to aid in the selection of any of the five modes of operation. The default setting is Burst mode. This converter features Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation, SSFM. The input and output filters installed on the PCB help suppress EMI noise, but the use of SSFM makes it easier to pass CISPR25 class 5 conducted and radiated emissions testing for automotive vehicles. To perform an EMI evaluation for this converter include the input filter by connecting the input source to the VEMI terminal and select the Burst+SSFM JP1 setting. EMI filters may not be necessary for all applications. For a lower parts count and BOM cost EMI filters can be removed. To do so, replace FB1 and FB2 with a zero ohm jumpers and remove all input and output filter components located inside the dashed-line rectangles on the schematic, plus C1 and C13. Proper board layout is essential for maximum thermal performance. See the datasheet section “Thermal Considerations”. The Performance Summary section details the ratings of the DC2907A at room temperature. The LT8338 datasheet gives a complete description of the part, operation and application information. The data sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick start guide for DC2907A. The LT8338 is available in a thermally-enhanced 10 lead plastic MSOP package.

DC2909A showcases the LTC4284 high power, negative hot swap controller with telemetry and EEPROM in a –48V, 31A (1500W) application. DC2909A is configured for parallel mode, which offers reliable low cost hot plug solution for high power systems where input steps are imminent. Included on board is isolation for power good control pins, to enable downstream power converters. LEDs indicate the presence of –48V input and output as well as the state of both supply feeds and power good signaling. High voltage layout rules are followed throughout for best long-term product reliability. Headers are provided for three I2C interfaces, providing instant access to voltage, current, power, energy, fault log, and board temperature data.

The LTC4238 is a high voltage high current Hot Swap controller that allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. Dual 12V gate drive is well suited for high power applications to either share safe operating area across parallel MOSFETs or support a 2-stage start-up that first charges the load capacitance followed by enabling a low on-resistance path to the load.The device features active current limiting (ACL) with two foldback options as VDS increases. The constant power profile limits the power dissipation to be no higher than a fixed value, while the high power profile allows the part to ride through large input steps during operation.The LTC4238 notifies when output power is good. In addition, it has protection features that respond to input undervoltage, overvoltage; and generate a fault when there is an overcurrent or FET bad condition.Applications Live Board Insertion in 12V, 24V and 48V Systems Industrial High Side Switch/Circuit Breaker Computers, Servers Vehicle Electrical Systems

The LTC3336 is a compact high efficiency nanopower hysteretic buck DC/DC which can deliver up to 250mA of output current from a 2.5V to 15V input. Input quiescent current is typically 80nA with the output in regulation at no load for output voltages less than 2.4V; this number is reduced further for higher output voltages at which internal circuits can be boot-strapped from the output. Performance specifications are ideal for primary (i.e., non-rechargeable) battery powered applications: low IQ plus the ability to set the peak current to a level matched to the battery?s maximum capacity point.The peak input currents of 10mA, 30mA, 100mA, and 300mA are pin selectable as well as the output voltages of 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.6V, 1.8V, 2.0V, 2.4V, 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.2V, 3.3V, 3.6V, 3.7V, 4.1V, 4.2V, and 5.0V.The LTC3336 is offered in a compact 12-lead 2mm ? 2mm LQFN package.APPLICATIONS Low Power Primary Battery Powered Systems (e.g., 1? ? 3?

The LT3935 is a monolithic, synchronous, step-down DC/DC converter that utilizes fixed-frequency, peak current control and provides PWM dimming for a string of LEDs. The LED current is programmed by an analog voltage or the duty cycle of pulses at the CTRL pin. An output voltage limit can be set with a resistor divider to the FB pin.The switching frequency is programmable from 200kHz to 2MHz by an external resistor at the RT pin or by an external clock at the SYNC/SPRD pin. With the optional spread spectrum frequency modulation enabled, the frequency varies from 100% to 125% to reduce EMI.Additional features include an LED current monitor, an accurate EN/UVLO pin threshold, open-drain fault reporting for open-circuit and short-circuit load conditions, and thermal shutdown. The LT3935 utilizes proprietary Silent?Switcher technology for very low EMI.APPLICATIONSAutomotive LightingIndustrial and General Purpose Lighting
