DocumentDocumentDEMO MANUAL DC1997A-A/DC1997A-B LTC3838EUHF-1/ LTC3838EUHF-2 High Current, Dual Output Synchronous Buck Converter DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuits DC1997A-A/DC1997A-B are dual output synchronous buck converters featuring the LTC®3838EUHF-1/LTC3838EUHF-2. Both assemblies provide two outputs of 1.5V/20A and 1.2V/20A over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 14V at a switching frequency of 300kHz. Applications requiring the output to be adjusted with an external reference can be implemented with the DC1997A-B assembly. Such applications include adaptive voltage scaling optimization (AVSO) where the processor voltage is adjusted to achieve optimal efficiency, wide output voltage applications controlled by a DAC, or margining. The 2nd channel of the DC1997A-B assembly is regulated to an onboard 1.2V reference in the default setup. The same reference can be set from 0.8V to 1.5V with a potentiometer or the 2nd channel can regulate to a source external to the board. The 1st channel on the DC1997A-B assembly and both channels on the DC1997A-A version are regulated to the internal reference. The entire converter, excluding the bulk input and output capacitors, fits within a 1.5in2 area on the board. The high density is a result of the compact, 2-sided drop-in layout and the use of dual channel FETs. Additional features of this demo board include: · Remote sensing for each output. · PLLIN and CLKOUT pins. · PGOOD, RUN and TRK/SS pins for each output. · Optional resistors to tie the two outputs together. · Optional footprint for discrete single channel FETs for higher output current. · Optional footprints to implement DTR (detect transient) to reduce overshoot following a load release.

Please refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below. 1. With power off, connect the input supply, load and meters as shown in Figure 1. Preset the load to 0A and VIN supply to be 0V. For both assemblies, place the jumpers in the following positions: JP4 RUN1 ON JP1 RUN2 ON JP2 MODE FCM The DC1997A-B assembly has additional jumpers for the reference circuit. Place these jumpers in the following positions: JP5 ON BD REF FIXED JP6 REF ON BD 2. Adjust the input voltage to be between 4.5V and 14V. VOUT1 should be 1.5V ± 2%. VOUT2 should be 1.2V ± 2%. 3. Next, apply 20A load to each output and re-measure VOUT. 4. Once the DC regulation is confirmed, observe the output voltage ripple, load step response, efficiency and other parameters. Note 1: Use the BNC connectors labeled VOUT1 or VOUT2 to measure the output volt-age ripple. Note 2: Do not connect load from the VO1_SNS+ turret to the VO1_SNS- turret or from the VO2_SNS+ turret to the VO2_SNS- turret. This could damage the converter. Only apply load across the stud connectors on the edge of the board. Reference Circuit for Channel 2 of DC1997A-B Assembly Channel 2 of the DC1997A-B assembly is configured by default to regulate to the fixed 1.2V reference generated by the LT®6650 reference circuit. If desired, this reference can be set with a potentiometer, or an external source such as a DAC or another source. See the following instructions to set the board for either: 2 Downloaded from Arrow.com. Adjusting the Onboard Reference: 1. Remove power from the input of the board. 2. Place these jumpers in the following positions: JP5 ON BD REF ADJ JP6 REF ON BD 3. Apply power to the input of the board. 4. Adjust reference with potentiometer at R52. Connecting a Reference External to the Board: 1. Remove power from the input of the board. 2. Place JP6 in the EXT position. 3. Connect the external reference between the EXTREF2+ and EXTREF2- turrets. 4. Apply power to the input of the board. 5. Turn-on the external reference. Note 3: For accurate efficiency measurements in DCM at light load at VIN greater than 5V, remove R51 and apply an external reference to the board as mentioned above. Single Output/Dual Phase Operation A single output/dual phase converter may be preferred for higher output current applications. The optional components required to tie the phases together are found on the top middle of the first sheet. To tie the two outputs together, make the following modifications: 1. Tie the two VOUT shapes together with a piece of copper at the edge of the board where the copper is exposed. 2. Tie the VOUT SENSE1+ pin to INTVCC with a 0 jumper at R8. This will tie ITH1 to ITH2 inside the chip. 3. Tie RUN1 to RUN2 by stuffing a 0 jumper at R15. 4. If DTR is implemented, then stuff 0 jumper at R9 to tie the two DTR pins together. dc1997a-af DEMO MANUAL DC1997A-A/DC1997A-B QUICK START PROCEDURE Dynamic Load Circuit (Optional) Demonstration circuit DC1997A-A/DC1997A-B provides a simple load-step circuit consisting of a MOSFET and sense resistor for each rail. To apply a load step, follow the steps below. 1. Pre-set the amplitude of a pulse generator to 0.0V and the duty cycle to 5% or less. 2. Connect the scope to the VOUT BNC connectors for the rail under test with a coax cable. To monitor the load-step current, connect the scope probe across the ISTEP+/- turrets for that rail. 3. Connect the output of the pulse generator to the PULSE turret for the rail under test and connect the return to the adjacent GND turret. 4. With the converter running, slowly increase the amplitude of the pulse generator output to provide the desired load step pulse height. The scaling for the load step signal is 5mV/Amp.
