DESCRIPTION
Demonstration
circuit
1412A
features
LT3758EMSE in a 300kHz Flyback converter
circuit, designed for 3.3V output from a 18V to
75V input.
The LT3758EMSE operates over an input range
of 5.5V to 100V, suitable for automotive, tele-
com and industrial applications. It also exhibits
low shutdown quiescent current of 1µA, making
them an ideal fit for battery-operated systems.
Thanks to a novel FBX pin architecture, the
LT3758EMSE can be connected directly to a
divider from either the positive output or the
negative output to ground. It also packs many
popular features such as soft-start, input under-
voltage lockout, adjustable frequency and syn-
chronization in a small 10-lead MSOP package
or a 3mm × 3mm QFN package.
The LT3758EMSE datasheet gives a complete
description of the part, operation and application
information. The datasheet must be read in con-
junction with this quick start guide for demo cir-
cuit 1412A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1412A is easy to set up
to evaluate the performance of the
LT3758EMSE. Refer to Figure 1 for proper
measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
measuring the input or output volt-
age ripple, care must be taken to avoid a long
ground lead on the oscilloscope probe. Meas-
ure the input or output voltage ripple by touch-
ing the probe tip directly across the Vin or
Vout and GND terminals. See Figure 2 for
proper scope probe technique.
