DESCRIPTION
LTC3124
Dual Phase Synchronous
Step-Up DC/DC Converter
Demonstration circuit 1859A is a dual phase single out-
put DC/DC boost converter featuring the LT C
®
3124. The
DC1859A operates over 1.8V to 5.5V input and generates
12V at up to 1.5A from a 5V input. The maximum output
current for a 1.8V input is 750mA. Also, the LTC3124 has
a2% precise voltage reference, which can generate an
output voltage with 2.2% tolerance if 0.1% voltage divider
resistors are used. The 1MHz switching frequency opera-
tion results in small and efficient circuit. The converter
operates with only one phase in Burst Mode

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
and achieves over 90% efficiency with a 100mA load. The
demonstration circuit can be easily modified to generate
different output voltages.
The DC1859 has small circuit footprint. It is a high perfor-
mance and cost effective solution for generating output
voltages up to 15V from inputs as low as 1.8V.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1859 is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC3124. For proper measure-
ment equipment setup refer to Figure 1 and follow the
procedure below:
NOTE: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,
care must be taken to minimize the length of oscilloscope
probe ground lead. Measure the input or output voltage
ripple by connecting the probe tip directly across the VIN
or VOUT and GND terminals as shown in Figure 2.
1. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
and GND.
2. Keep the load set to 0A or disconnected.
3. Turn the input power source on and slowly increase the
input voltage. Be careful not to exceed 5.5V.
NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage VIN does not
exceed 5.5V.
4. Set the input voltage to 5V and check for the proper
output voltage of 12V. If there is no output, temporarily
disconnect the load to make sure that the load is not
set too high.
5. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust
the load and observe the output voltage regulation,
ripple voltage, efficiency and other parameters.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Changing the Output Voltage
To change the output voltage from the programmed 12V,
change the voltage divider resistors connected to LTC3124
FB pin (see the schematic on page 5).
Converter Output Current
The DC1859 output current capability depends on the
input voltage. Typical performance of DC1859A is shown
in Figure 3. As can be seen from Figure 3, the maximum
output current is 800mA with 2.6V input and 2A with 5V
input. The efficiency is high at light loads thanks to phase
shedding in BURST mode. By disabling one phase the
related switching losses are reduced and the efficiency
is maximized.
Figure 3. The Efficiency Is Maximized for Light Loads by
Shedding One Phase in Burst Mode Operation. The Efficiency Is
Over 90% at Higher Loads and It Reaches 92% at 800mA Load
Output Load Step Response
The load step response of DC1859A is dependent on the
amount and type of output caps used. If higher load steps
need to be handled more output capacitance can be added
in order to keep the voltage transients at the desired level.
The load step transients are shown in Figure 4. Other types
of low ESR and high value capacitors can be used if space
is available to reduce load transients to desired level.
Figure 4. The LTC3124 Has Excellent Load Step Response with
Small Output Capacitors Thanks to High Switching Frequency
and Fast Feedback Loop Compensation
Start-Up and Soft-Start Function
The DC1859 features internal 10ms soft-start circuit that
prevents input current surge at start-up. The soft-start
circuitalsopreventsoutput voltage overshoot when output
voltage ramp reaches regulation.

Output Short Circuit Protection
The LTC3124 features safe short-circuit and thermal
protection. The part can operate continuously with output
shortedwhile maintaining amaximum set current limit. The
peak switch current is reduced during overload to about
2A and is restored to 3.5A once the output exceeds 1.5V.
