Description
Demonstration circuit 2016A features the LTM8054, a
synchronous buck-boost μModule regulator that accepts
input voltages lower, higher or the same as the output,
but is also highly efficient due to its four-switch archi-
tecture. The output for DC2016A is 12V and the input
voltage range is 6V to 35V – see the LTM8054 data sheet
for application circuits with input voltages up to 36V.
The maximum output current of DC2016A is 3A and the
switching frequency is 600kHz.
DC2016A supports the adjustable and controllable features
of the LTM8054 including output voltage and current
regulation, switching frequency, RUN threshold, soft-
start period, synchronization and reverse inductor current
inhibit. In most cases, adjustment is made by modifying
the appropriate resistor or capacitor component(s).

DC2016A provides output current monitoring and a clock
output. Input current monitoring and regulation requires
the installation of a current sense resistor. The SV
for controller power can be made a diode-OR of power
V
and the output voltage to extend the operating range
IN
of power V
to lower voltages. There are places to mount
IN
optional components that add an LC input filter and also a
unity gain buffer to operate multiple DC2016As in parallel.
The LTM8054 data sheet must be read in conjunction with
this demo manual to properly use or modify DC2016A.
