DEMO MANUAL DC2358A
LTM8068
Isolated μModule DC/DC Converter
with LDO Regulator
DESCRIPTION
The Demo Circuit 2358A is a 2kV AC isolated flyback
μModule
®
DC/DC converter with LDO post regulator featur-
ing the
LTM8068.
The demo circuit is designed for a 5.6V
flyback output and a 5V post regulator output from a 4.5V
to 40V input. The current capability of the 5.6V flyback
output varies with input voltage from about 200mA at
4.5V
IN
to about 460mA at 40V
IN
. The current capability of
the 5V LDO output is limited by either the current capabil-
ity of V
OUT1
minus V
OUT1
loading or the 300mA current
limit on the LDO post regulator itself. Figure 1 shows the
maximum output current on V
OUT1
when V
OUT2
is not
loaded, and V
OUT2
when V
OUT1
is unloaded. V
OUT2
is the
LDO post regulator from V
OUT1
.
The two-stage converter provides an isolated flyback output
as well as a low-noise LDO output. Figure 2 shows the
output noise spectrum on the flyback output and Figure
3 shows the output noise spectrum on the LDO output.
The LTM8068 data sheet gives complete description of
the device, operation and application information. The
data sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick
start guide for demo circuit 2358A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demo circuit 2358A is easy to set up to evaluate the per-
formance of the LTM8068. Refer to Figure 4 for proper
measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure
below:
NOTE: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,
care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the
oscilloscope probe. Measure the input or output voltage
ripple by touching the probe tip directly across the V
IN
and GND or V
OUT
and V
OUTN
terminals. See Figure 5 for
proper scope probe technique.
1. With power off, connect the input power supply to V
IN
and GND.
2. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE. Make sure that the input voltage does not
exceed 40V.
3. Check for the proper output voltages. (For OUT1, check
the voltage between V
OUT1
and V
OUTN
. For OUT2, check
the voltage between V
OUT2
and V
OUTN
.)
NOTE: If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the
load to make sure that the load is not set too high.
4. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust
the load within the operating range and observe the
output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and
other parameters.
