DEMO MANUAL DC2253A LTC3789EGN 300W 2-Phase Interleaved Synchronous Buck-Boost Converter Description Demonstration circuit 2253A is a high power, high efficiency, 2-phase interleaved synchronous buck-boost converter with a 6V to 36V input range. It can supply a 25A maximum load current with a 12V output. This demo board features 2x LTC3789EGN controllers. The LTC(R)3789 is a high performance current-mode buck-boost switching regulator controller that operates from input voltages above, below or equal to the output voltage, while an output current feedback loop provides support for output current limit and battery charging. With a wide 4V to 38V (40V maximum) input and output range and seamless, low noise transitions between operating regions, the LTC3789 is ideal for automotive, telecom and battery-powered systems. Performance Summary PARAMETER The light load operating mode of the controller is determined through the MODE/PLLIN pin. By default, the forced continuous mode (CCM) operation is pre-selected on this demo board. Switching frequency is preset at about 200kHz. Two paralleling schemes are available for this demo board and by default the method of shared ITH pins is adopted. Please refer to the Quick Start Procedure section for the optional Master-Slave paralleling scheme. To shut down the converter, force the RUN pin below 1.2V (JP1: OFF) Please refer to LTC3789 data sheet for more detailed information.

Refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below: 1.With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN (6V to 36V) and GND (input return). 2.Connect the 12V output load between VOUT and GND (Initial load: no load). 3.Connect the DVMs to the input and output. Set the default jumper position, JP1: ON. 4.Turn on the input power supply and check for the proper output voltages. VOUT should be 12V 2%. 5.Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust the loads within the operating range and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage and other parameters. Optional Master-Slave Paralleling Scheme Besides the default paralleling scheme by tying the ITH pins together, another optional Master-Slave scheme can be achieved on the demo board to obtain a better sharing of the inductor currents and output currents between phases. Please refer to the schematic in Page 8. To implement it, 1.Remove R67, R69 and R70. 2.Populate R68, R71 with 0. 3.Set RFB3 5~10% higher than RFB1 and set RFB4 = RFB2. 4.Choose the current reference divider R65 and R66 so that when the Vout is regulated, the voltage drop on R65 is equal to VILIM, where VILIM is the output current limit threshold voltage. For example, when ILIM pin is grounded, VILIM = 50mV. For VOUT = 12V, select R65 = 100 and R66 = 24k and then the voltage drop on R65 will be 50mV. Note: 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. 2 dc2253af DEMO MANUAL DC2253A Quick Start Procedure Figure 1.
