DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 1700A is a fast, high efficiency
synchronous buck DC/DC converter with 4.5V to 24V
input range. It can supply 15A maximum load current at
1.5V output. The demo board features the LTC
regulator. No external MOSFETs are required. The con-
trolled on-time constant frequency valley current mode
architecture allows for both fast transient response and
constant frequency switching in steady-state operation.
Differential output voltage sensing along with a precision
internal reference combine to offer an accurate output
regulation. The LTC3613 is ideal for applications such
as distributed power systems, servers and point-of-load
converters. The LTC3613EWKH is in a 7mm × 9mm 54-pin
QFN package.

mode (CCM) operation. Switching frequency is pre-set
at about 350kHz. This frequency can be modified from
200kHz to 1MHz by changing the value of a resistor (R18).
The converter can also be externally synchronized from
200kHz to 1MHz through the MODE/PLLIN pin (PLLIN
terminal on the board). To shut down the converter, one
simple way is to force the RUN pin below 1.1V (JP1: OFF).
The power good output (PGOOD terminal) is low when the
output voltage is outside of the ±7.5% regulation window.
