QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 993

500MA, 2.25 MHZ SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN REGULATOR

LTC3542

DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 993A is a step-down converter,

using the LTC3542 monolithic synchronous buck regula-

tor. The DC993A has an input voltage range of 2.5V to

5.5V, and is capable of delivering up to 500 mA of output

current in a small 2x2 mm DFN package. The output

voltage of the DC993A can be set as low as 0.6V, the

reference voltage of the LTC3542. At low load currents,

the DC993A can operate in either noise sensitive applica-

tions, due to the capability of the LTC3542 to operate in

pulse-skipping mode, or in high efficiency applications,

because the LTC3542 can also operate in Burst Mode.

Of course, in continuous mode, or large load current

applications, the DC993A is a high efficiency circuit -

over 90% in some cases. The DC993A consumes only

27 uA during sleep mode operation, and during shut-

down, it consumes at less than 1 uA. Because of the

high switching frequency of the LTC3542 – nominal 2.25

MHz - the DC993A uses low profile surface mount com-

ponents. These features, plus the LTC3542 coming in a

either a tiny 2x2 mm 6-Lead DFN package or a small 6-

Lead SOT package, make the DC993A an ideal circuit for

use in battery-powered, hand-held applications.

Gerber

files for this circuit are available. Call the LTC Fac-

tory.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

emonstration Circuit 993 is easy to set up to evalu-

ate the performance of the LTC3542. For proper

measurement equipment configuration, set up the

circuit according to the diagram in Figure 1. Before

proceeding to test, insert shunts into the OFF position

of header JP3, which connects the RUN pin to ground

(GND), and thus, shuts down the circuit, and the 1.2V

output voltage header – JP4.

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 volt-

age ripple by touching the probe tip directly across

the Vin or Vout and GND terminals. See Figure 2 for

proper scope probe measurement technique.

With the DC993 set up according to the proper meas-

urement and equipment in Figure 1, apply 3.3V at Vin

(Do not hot-plug Vin or increase Vin over the rated

maximum supply voltage of 5.5V, or the part may be

damaged.). Measure Vout; it should read 0V. If de-

sired, one can measure the shutdown supply current

at this point. The supply current will be approxi-

mately 1 uA, or less, in shutdown.

Turn on the circuit by inserting the shunt in header

JP3 into the ON position. The output voltage should

be regulating. Measure Vout - it should measure

1.2V +/- 2% (1.176V to 1.224V).

Vary the input voltage from 2.5V to 5.5V and adjust

the load current from 0 to 500 mA. Vout should read

between 1.2V +/- 4% (1.152V to 1.248V).

Measure the output ripple voltage at any output cur-

rent level; it usually will measure less than 30 mVAC.

Observe the voltage waveform at the switch node.

Verify the switching frequency is between 1.8 MHz

and 2.7 MHz (T = 0.555 us and 0.37 us), and that the

switch node waveform is rectangular in shape.

Insert header JP3 shunt into the OFF position and move

the 1.2V Vout shunt into any of the two remaining output

voltage option headers: 1.5V or 1.8V. Just as in the

1.2Vout test, the output voltage should read Vout +/- 2%

tolerance under static line and load conditions, and +/-

1% tolerance under dynamic line and load conditions

(+/- 2% total).

When finished, turn off the circuit by inserting the

shunt in header JP3 into the OFF position (connecting

the RUN pin to ground).
