DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC1596 is a dual output regulator
consisting of two constant-frequency step-down convert-
ers, based on the
LTC
®
synchronous buck regulator. The DC1596 has an input
voltage range of 4.5V to 15V, with each regulator capable of
delivering up to 600mA of output current. The DC1596 can
operate in either Burst Mode
mode. In shutdown, the DC1596 quiescent current is less
than 1µA. The DC1596 is a very efficient circuit attaining
up to 90%. The DC1596 uses the LTC3607's16-lead QFN

DEMO MANUAL DC1596A
Dual 600mA 15V Monolithic
package, which has an exposed pad on the bottom side
of the IC for better thermal performance. These features,
plus a set operating frequency range of 2.25MHz, make
the DC1596 demo board an ideal circuit for industrial or
distributed power applications.
