DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1928A is a single output synchronous
buck converter featuring the
4mm x 4mm QFN package.
The DC1928A is configured with a sense resistor. Inductor
DCR sensing circuit is optional. Using the inductor's DCR
as the sense element instead of the onboard sense resistor
saves cost, board space while improving efficiency. Using
a sense resistor provides more accurate current limit.
The board has a lot of features including an internal 5V
linear regulator for bias, output voltage remote-sense,
programmable nonlinear control to improve load tran-
sient performance, programmable thermal shutdown, an

operation. Synchronization to an external clock is also
possible.
The input voltage range is from 18V to 36V. The LTC3867
data sheet gives a complete description of the part, opera-
tion and application information and must be read in con-
junction with this demo manual for DC1928A.
