DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1999A is a fixed frequency syn-
chronous buck-boost converter with an extended input
and output range. The unique 4-switch, single inductor
architecture provides low noise and seamless operation
from input voltages above, below, or equal to the output
voltage.
The
LTC
3111
features selectable PWM or Burst Mode
®
operation, and an easily synchronizable oscillator. Jumper
JP1 is provided to enable the converter. The demo board
is configured for 800kHz. A jumper, JP2, is provided to
select PWM, or Burst Mode operation. A clock signal can
also be applied to JP2 if synchronization is desired.
The LTC3111 operates with a 2.5V to 15V input voltage
range and a V
range from 2.5V to 15V. The demon-
OUT
stration board has been designed to operate with V
from 2.5V to 15V and an output current up to 1.5A. For
V
< 5V, I
capability is reduced. V

Typical demo board efficiency is shown in Figure 2 for
several loads. The demo board has the provision to set an
accurate run threshold. Consult the LTC3111data sheet for
more information. The transient response of the converter
to a 100mA to 600mA transient at input voltages of 3.5V
and 12V are presented in Figures 3 and 4.
The LTC3111 data sheet has detailed information about
®
the operation, specifications, and applications of the part.
The data sheet should be read in conjunction with this
Quick Start Guide.
