DESCRIPTION
Demo circuit DC1723A features the
(micromodule) step-down converter that can deliver up to
2A of output current. DC1723A is designed for a 5V, 2A
output from a 7.5V to 58V input at 400kHz. The wide input
range of the LTM8050 allows a variety of input sources
such as automotive batteries and industrial supplies. At
light loads, the LTM8050 enters Burst Mode
to maintain high efficiency and low output ripple over a
broad current range. The user adjustable features of the
LTM8050 such as output voltage, switching frequency,
soft-start, and power good can be changed on DC1723A
