Demonstration circuit 2570A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTM4678. Refer to Figure 2 for
the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below.
1. With power off, connect the input power supply to V
(4.5V to 16V) and GND (input return).
2. Connect the 1.0V output load between V
(initial load: no load).
3. Connect the DVMs to the input and output. Set default
jumper position: SW1: ON.
4. Turn on the input power supply and check for the
proper output voltages. V

5. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the
load within the operating range and observe the output
voltage regulation, ripple voltage and other parameters.
6. Connect the dongle and control the output voltages
from the GUI. See LTpowerPlay GUI for the LTM4678
IN
Quick Start Guide for details.
Note: When measuring the output or input voltage
ripple, do not use the long ground lead on the oscil-
loscope probe. See Figure 3 for the proper scope probe
technique. Short, stiff leads need to be soldered to
the (+) and (–) terminals of an output capacitor. The
probe's ground ring needs to touch the (–) lead and
the probe tip needs to touch the (+) lead.
