DEMO MANUAL DC2104A
Description
LT8312
Boundary Mode
PFC Controller
Demonstration Circuit 2104A is an off-line boundary
conduction mode power factor correction (PFC) boost
converter featuring the LT
®
8312. Boundary conduction
mode offers inherent MOSFET valley switching to reduce the
switching loss and the boost diode zero current switching
to remove the diode reverse-recovery loss. The demo board
provides a 400V/150W single constant-voltage output
suitable for applications requiring regulated input voltage.
The DC2104A is optimized to operate over a wide AC input
voltage range (90VAC to 265VAC, 47Hz to 63Hz). Output
voltage accuracy stays within ±5% over the whole input
voltage and load range. It provides a high power factor
(>0.95) enabling the design to be used worldwide. It is
also designed to comply with the IEC61000-3-2 Class-D
harmonics standard and the EN55022 conducted EMI
standard.

performance summary
This DC 2104A evaluation board uses a two-layer printed
circuit board (PCB) designed for 150W (400V/0.375A)
rated power. It can also be changed for other power level
applications. Please refer to the Typical Applications sec-
tion in the data sheet for more information.
The LT8312 is available in a low profile, thermally enhanced
16-lead MSOP package.
The LT8312 data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and application information. The data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO CUSTOMERS:
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT ON THE DEMO
CIRCUIT, AND CAN LEAD TO LETHAL INJURIES
TO HUMAN BODY. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
SHOULD OPERATE IT. IT IS STRONGLY RECOM-
MENDED TO USE SAFETY GLASSES AND AN ISOLA-
TION TRANSFORMER.
NOTE: Improper components replacement on the demo
circuit can cause performance deteriorations, circuit
malfunction, property damage, and even life threatening
injuries. Contact Linear Technology applications engineers
for proper component replacement.
DC2104A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance
of the LT8312. Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement
equipment setup and follow the procedure below:
1. Connect an adjustable load between + and – output
terminals.
2. With power off, connect the input power supply to Line
(L) input and Neutral (N) input.
3. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed
the maximum input voltage (265VAC).
4. Check for the proper output voltage.
Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the
input voltage and/or the load and observe the output voltage
regulation, efficiency, power factor and other parameters.
