DEMO MANUAL DC1523A
LTC3789EGN:
High Efficiency Synchronous
4-Switch Step-Up/Step-Down
DC/DC Converter
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1523A features the LTC
®
3789EGN,
a high efficiency switching step-up/down controller. The
DC1523A input range is from 5V to 36V. The output volt-
age is 12V. The board is capable of delivering up to 5A of
output current over the input voltage range.
The LTC3789EGN is a high performance switching regula-
tor controller designed to regulate the output using input
voltages above, below or equal to the output voltage.
Synchronous operation provides very high efficiency, up
to 97%. Constant frequency current mode architecture
allows phase-lockable frequency from 200kHz to 600kHz.
An accurate output current limit provides support for
battery charging. A wide input and output range with
smooth transfer function through all operating modes
makes the product ideal for automotive, telecom and
battery systems.
The MODE/PLLIN pin can select between pulse skipping
mode and forced continuous mode operation and allows
the IC to be synchronized to an external clock. A Power
Good output pin indicates when the output is within 7.5%
of its set point.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1523A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LTC3789EGN. 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 0V.
2. Set the current limit of the input supply high enough
so that the bench supply does not go into current limit
mode. Figure 2 shows input current as a function of
input voltage, at full load. Input current can reach 13A
at 5V input voltage.
3. Place jumpers in the following positions:
JP1
RUN
ON
JP2
MODE
CCM
4. Turn on the power at the input. Increase V
IN
to between
5V and 36V. The circuit will start and the output voltage
will regulate at 12V ±2%. The current draw at no load
is 20mA to 60mA depending on the input voltage.
5. Apply load and observe output voltage regulation, ripple
voltage, efficiency and other parameters. Efficiency and
power loss at full load is shown in Figure 3. Continuous
operation with full power and low input voltage may
require some airflow.

Loss is Highest in Boost Mode Due to the High Inductor Current,
and Drops as Input Voltage Increases. Switching Losses Again
Increase when V
