DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1238B features the LTM
36V 500mA step-down μModule
been preset to 5V by a single resistor within the LTM8021's
output voltage range of 0.8V to 5V. An adjustable soft-start
period may be implemented with the addition of a capaci-
tor at C3. The input voltage range is from 7.5V to 36V for
the default operating conditions. The LTM8021 may need
more input voltage to start up than to run in steady state.
