QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEMONSTRATION CIRCUIT 357
550KHZ SYNCHRONOUS BUCK CONVERTER AND LINEAR REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 357 is a dual
power supply with one switcher and
one LDO regulator.
LTC1704 and LTC1704B.
version features burst mode operation
at light load. The B version does not
have burst mode. The input voltage is
5V nominal, the switcher output is
set at 1.8V by a feedback resistor
divider and the LDO output is set at
1.5V
by
its
feedback
vider. The switcher uses Mosfet R
