DEMO CIRCUIT 1441A QUICK START GUIDE LTC3855EUJ LTC3855EUJ DUAL OUTPUT SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONVERTER DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuit DC1441A DC1441A is a dual output synchronous buck converter featuring the LTC3855EUJ LTC3855EUJ. The board provides two outputs of 1.8V/17A and 1.2V/17A from an input voltage of 4.5V to 14V at a switching frequency of 400kHz. The demo board uses a high density, two sided drop-in layout. The power components, excluding the bulk output and input capacitors, fit within a 1.4" X 0.75" area on the top layer. The control circuit resides in a 0.8" X 0.9" area on the bottom layer. The package style for the LTC3855EUJ LTC3855EUJ is a 40-lead 6mm X 6mm QFN. The main features of the board are listed below: · Differential amplifier for remote sensing VOUT2 which is configured for 1.2V. · Diff amp bypass for VOUT2 3.3V. · Optional resistors for single output dual phase operation. · Optional resistors for DCR sensing and for NTC compensated DCR sensing. · PLLIN pin for synchronization to an external clock which can be used in conjunction with PHASMD pin and CLKOUT pin for up to 12-phase operation. · Selectable light load operating modes of pulse skip, Burst Mode® or FCM. · TRACK/SS pins for external rail tracking. · RUN pins and PGOOD pins for each phase. Design files for this circuit board are available. Call the LTC factory. Table 1.

Refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below: 1. Place jumpers in the following positions: JP1 RUN1 ON JP2 RUN2 ON JP3 MODE FCM 2. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN and GND. Turn on the power at the input and increase the input voltage to 4.5V or higher. 3. Check for the proper output voltages. Vout1 = 1.769V to 1.832V Vout2 = 1.182V to 1.218V 4. Do not apply load between the VO1+ and VO1- pins or between the VO2_SNS+ and VO2_SNSpins. These pins are only intended to Kelvin sense the output voltage across COUT1 and COUT4. Heavy load currents applied across the VO1+/- sense pins will damage these sense traces. Heavy load currents across the VO2_SNS+/- pins will damage the converter. Note 1. When measuring the output or input voltage ripple, do not use the long ground lead on the oscilloscope probe. See Figure 2 for the proper scope probe technique. Short, stiff leads need to be soldered to the (+) and (-) terminals of an output capacitor. The probe's ground ring needs to touch the (-) lead and the probe tip needs to touch the (+) lead. Note 2. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust the loads within the operating range and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and other parameters. SINGLE OUTPUT / DUAL PHASE OPERATION A single output / dual phase converter may be preferred for high output current applications. The benefits of single output / dual phase operation is lower ripple current through the input and output capacitors, improved load step response and simplified thermal design. To implement single output / dual phase operation, make the following modifications: · Tie VOUT1 to VOUT2 by tying together the exposed copper pads on the VOUT shapes with pieces of heavy copper foil. · Tie ITH1 to ITH2 by stuffing 0 at R49. · Tie VFB1 to VFB2 by stuffing 0 at R50. · Tie TRK/SS1 to TRK/SS2 by stuffing 0 at R52. · Tie RUN1 to RUN2 by stuffing 0 at R55. · Keep the ILIM pins at the same potential or tie them together by stuffing 0 ·at R71. · · · Keep the ITEMP pins at the same potential or tie them together by stuffing 0 ·at R67. Remove the redundant ITH compensation network, VFB divider and TRACK/SS cap. Re-compensate if necessary. 2 LTC3855EUJ LTC3855EUJ INDUCTOR DCR SENSING Demonstration circuit 1441 provides an optional circuit for DCR sensing. DCR sensing uses the DCR of the inductor to sense the inductor current instead of discrete sense resistors. The advantages of DCR sensing are lower cost, reduced board space and higher efficiency, but the disadvantage is a less accurate current limit. If DCR sensing is used, be sure to select an inductor current with a sufficiently high saturation current since the controller can not detect saturation when DCR sensing is used. This means using a ferrite with a high saturation current rating or using an iron powder type whose inductance will drop off much more gradually. Refer to tables 2 and 3 to see an example of how to setup the two rails for DCR sensing. The original RSENSE setup is shown for comparison. These parameters are used: · · · · · · · · VOUT1 = 1.8V / 17A VOUT2 = 1.2V / 17A VIN = 12V Fsw = 400kHz, typical L1,2 = Vishay IHLP4040DZ-01 IHLP4040DZ-01 0.56uH (0.56uH, DCR = 1.7m typ, 1.8m max) ILIM = FLOATING No temperature compensation The DC1441A DC1441A also has footprints for an NTC compensation network on the ITEMP pins for DCR sensing which increases the current sense threshold as the inductor temperature increases. As a result, the current limit falls less with temperature. RN1 detects the temperature for L1, RN2 detects the temperature for L2. RN3 is used for single output dual phase applications and is placed next to both inductors. See the data sheet for more details on NTC compensated DCR sensing. VOUT2 >= 3.3V The 1.2V output on phase 2 uses the internal differential amplifier to sense the output voltage. However, its common mode range only goes up to 3.5V. Therefore, for margin, the nominal output voltage should not exceed 3.3V. For outputs of 3.3V and higher, the diff amp should be bypassed. To bypass the diff amp, follow these steps: · Remove R11 to disconnect the output of the diff amp from the feedback divider. · Stuff R12 with 0 to tie the feedback divider to VOUT2 (through R65). · Remove R70. · Stuff R69 with 0 . 3 LTC3855EUJ LTC3855EUJ Table 2.
