DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1480A is a dual output synchronous
buck DC/DC converter featuring the LTC
input voltage range is from 4.5V to 14V. The outputs are
3.3V/5A and 1.8V/5A. Each output voltage can be precisely
programmed to a preset value within 1% error with the
VID pins. The demo board uses a high density, two sided
drop-in layout. The package of LTC3865EUH-1 is a small,
low thermal impedance 5mm × 5mm 32-Lead QFN.
The light load operation mode of the converter is de-
termined with the MODE/PLLIN pin. Use JP1 jumper to
select Burst Mode
operation, pulse-skipping mode or

forced continuous mode operation. Switching frequency
3865EUH-1. The
is preset at about 500kHz. This frequency can be modi-
®
fied by changing R5 value at the FREQ pin. The converter
can also be externally synchronized from 250kHz to
770kHz through MODE/PLLIN pin (SYNC terminal on the
board). To shut down a channel, force its RUN pin below
1.2V (Jumper: OFF). The power good output (PGOOD1
or PGOOG2 terminal) is low when that channel output
exceeds ±10% regulation window.
