DEMO MANUAL DC2005A LTC3624EDD High Efficiency Synchronous Step-Down Regulator with Ultralow Quiescent Current DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuit DC2005A is a synchronous stepdown regulator using an LTC(R)3624 monolithic buck regulator. The DC2005A operates from an input voltage range of 2.7V to 17V and provides an adjustable output voltage range from 1.2V to 5V (VOUT < VIN) at 2A of output current. A user-selectable mode input is provided to allow the user to trade off ripple noise for light load efficiency. Burst Mode(R) operation provides the highest efficiency at light load, while pulse-skipping mode provides the lowest voltage ripple. The MODE pin can also be used to sync the switching frequency to an external clock. The switching frequency is fixed at 1MHz or 2.25MHz with a 40% synchronizing range. The regulator features ultralow quiescent current and high efficiency over a wide VOUT range. PERFORMANCE SUMMARY PARAMETER The DC2005A uses very low profile surface mount components and all ceramic output capacitors. The compact 8-lead DFN (3mm x 3mm) package makes the LTC3624 an excellent choice for battery-powered equipment, general purpose step-down power supply, and emergency radio applications. It is recommended to read the data sheet and demo manual of the LTC3624 prior using or making any changes to DC2005A.

Please refer to Figure1 for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below: 1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical 5V output application: Table 1. Typical 5V Output Voltage Jumper Selection JP1 JP2 JP7 RUN MODE/SYNC VOUT ON BM 5.0V 2. With power off, connect the input power supply at VIN (E1) and GND (E2). 3. Connect the load between VOUT (E8) and GND (E9). Preset the load to 0A. 4. Connect the DMMs to the input and output to monitor the input voltage and output voltage. 5. Turn on the power supply at the input. The RUN pin jumper should be at ON position. Measure and make sure the input supply voltage is 12V. The output voltage should be 5V 2%. 7. To select other output voltages, use the on board user selectable output voltage jumpers. Shutting down LTC3624 by placing RUN pin jumper (JP1) to the OFF position or turn off the input power supply. Refer to the following table (Table 2) for the output voltage selection and repeat steps 2 to 6: Table 2. Output Voltage Jumper Selection JP3 JP4 JP5 JP6 JP7 JP8 1.2V 1.8V 2.5V 3.3V 5V *User Select * Note: If JP8 is selected, R6 needs to be calculated and inserted to obtain the desired output voltage. Note 1: To measure the input/output voltage ripple properly, do not use the long ground lead on the oscilloscope probe. See Figure 2 for the proper scope probe technique. Short, stiff leads need to be soldered to the (+) and (-) terminals of an output capacitor. The probe's ground ring needs to touch the (-) lead and the probe tip needs to touch the (+) lead. Note 2: The DC2005A can also be used to evaluate LTC36242 (2.25MHz) by simply changing U1 to LTC36242 and L1 to 1.5H (Coilcraft XAL4020-152ME). 6. Once the input and output voltages are properly established adjust the loads within the operating range (0A to 2A max) and observe the output voltage regulation, output ripple voltage, switch node waveform and other parameters. Refer to Figure 2 for proper input/ output voltage ripple measurement. dc2005af 2 DEMO MANUAL DC2005A QUICK START PROCEDURE Figure 1. Proper Equipment Measurement Setup Figure 2.
