DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 1632A is a single output 1.5V/40A
dual phase synchronous buck converter operating with
a switching frequency of 300kHz over an input voltage
range of 4.5V to 14V. The controlled on-time valley current
mode architecture of the LTC3839 allows for a fast load
step response (see Figure 4). The load step response can
be tested with the on-board load step circuit and a bench
pulse generator.
Other features of the board include remote sensing, sel-
ectable light load operating modes of forced continuous
mode (FCM) and discontinuous mode (DCM), a PLLIN
pin for synchronizing to an external clock, a CLKOUT
pin, an EXTV
pin to reduce losses in the controller, and
CC

RUN and TRACK/SS pins. Up to 12-phase operation can
be achieved by daisy-chaining the CLKOUT and PLLIN
signals of multiple boards and programming the relative
phase with the PHASMD jumper.
The demo board uses a high density, two sided drop-in
layout. The entire converter, excluding the bulk output and
input capacitors, fits within a compact 1.6˝ × 1.2˝ area
on the board. The package style for the LTC3839EUH is a
32-lead 5mm × 5mm QFN with an exposed ground pad.
