DC/DC Converter
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1737A is a current-mode inverting
DC/DC converter featuring the
LTC
®
3863.
The board operates from an input range of 4.5V to 16V,
and provides a –5.2V, 1.7A output or a –12V, 1A output
(jumper selectable). It operates at 400kHz and may be
synchronized to an external clock. A soft-start feature
controls output voltage slew rate at start-up, reducing
current surge and voltage overshoot. Burst Mode
®
opera-
tion that improves efficiency at light loads can be enabled
with a jumper. A power good output signal is provided.
The demonstration board has options for larger MOSFET
and diode packages on the back of the board for higher
output current requirements.
This board is suitable for a wide range of automotive,
telecom, industrial, and other applications. The LTC3863
is available in small 12-pin thermally enhanced MSOP and
DFN Packages. For other output requirements, see the
LTC3863 data sheet or contact the LTC factory.

DEMO MANUAL DC1737A
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1737 is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC3863. Refer to Figure 1 for
proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
Note:
When measuring the output voltage ripple, care must
be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the oscilloscope
probe. Measure the output voltage ripple by touching the
probe tip and ground ring directly across the last output
capacitor as shown in Figure 1.
1. Set an input power supply that is capable of 4.5V to
16V to 5V. Then turn off the supply.
2. With power off, connect the supply to the input terminals
+VIN and –VIN.
a. Input voltages lower than 4.5V can keep the converter
from turning on due to the undervoltage lockout
feature of the LTC3863.
b. If efficiency measurements are desired, an ammeter
capable of measuring 2A DC or a resistor shunt can
be put in series with the input supply in order to
measure the DC1737A’s input current.
c. A voltmeter with a capability of measuring at least
16V can be placed across the input terminals in order
to get an accurate input voltage measurement.
3. Turn on the power at the input.
Note:
Make sure that the input voltage never exceeds 16V.
4. Check for the proper output voltage of –5.2V. Turn off
the power at the input.

5. Once the proper output voltage is established, connect
a variable load capable of sinking 1.7A at 5.2V to the
output terminals +VOUT and –VOUT. Set the current
for 0A.
a. If efficiency measurements are desired, an ammeter
or a resistor shunt that is capable of handling 1.7A
DC can be put in series with the output load in order
to measure the DC1737A’s output current.
b. A voltmeter with a capability of measuring at least 12V
can be placed across the output terminals in order
to get an accurate output voltage measurement.

6. Turn on the power at the input.
Note:
If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the load
to make sure that the load is not set too high.
7. Once the proper output voltage is again established,
adjust the load and/or input within the operating range
and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple volt-
age, efficiency and other desired parameters.
8. Remove the VOUT jumper to observe operation at
–12V
