15V, 200mA Synchronous Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter
Description
Demonstration Circuit 1922A features the
high efficiency 200mA buck-boost DC/DC converter with
a wide V
and V
IN
OUT
The DC1922A demo board has two user selectable operat-
ing modes: Burst Mode
PWM (JP3). There is also an accurate programmable
RUN pin which is used to ENABLE the converter (JP1).
The LTC3129 also incorporates a maximum power point
control function which can be enabled (JP2) for applications
where the input source is a solar cell or is high impedance,
such as intrinsically safe applications or high Z
electric generators (TEGs).
The DC1922A operates with a 2.42V to 15V input voltage
range, and has been designed with the output voltage set
to 5.0V. Once the converter is started the LTC3129 can
operate with V

fed. The demo board has optional provisions to back-
feed V
(D1) in order to increase efficiency in some 5V
