DEMO MANUAL DC1757B LTC3789EGN High Efficiency 12V/12A Buck-Boost Converter Description Demonstration circuit 1757B is a high efficiency synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter with a 6V to 36V input voltage range. It can supply a 12A maximum load current with a 12V output. The demo board features the LTC(R)3789EGN controller. The constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to 600kHz, while an optional output current feedback loop provides support for applications such as battery charging. With a wide input range, wide output range and seamless transfers between operation modes, the LTC3789 is ideal for automotive, telecom, distributed DC power systems and battery-powered applications. The light load operation mode of the converter is determined with the MODE/PLLIN pin. Use JP2 jumper to select pulse-skipping mode or forced continuous mode (CCM) operation. The switching frequency is pre-set at about 200kHz. The converter can also be externally synchronized to an external clock through the MODE/PLLIN pin (PLLIN terminal on the board). To shut down the converter, force the RUN pin below 1.2V (JP1: OFF). The power good output (PGOOD terminal) is low when the output voltage is outside of the 10% regulation window.

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 outputs. 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. dc1757bf 1 DEMO MANUAL DC1757B quick start procedure 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. + Additional Notes: 1.Usually, the worst case efficiency at full load is at 6VIN. The board can deliver more output power at higher VIN. 2. R2 is needed for additional/constant output current limit only. + - + + + - - - - + LOAD - Figure 1.
