Description
Demonstration circuit 1887 is a DC/DC supercapacitor
buck-boost charger and balancer converter featuring the
LTC
3128. The DC1887A operates over 1.72V to 5.5V input
®
and charges the output up to 5.5V. Also, the LTC3128 has
2% precision input current limit, which allows the circuit to
operate effectively with current limited input power sources
like the USB. The 1.2MHz switching frequency operation
results in a small and efficient circuit. The converter pro-
vides high output voltage accuracy (typically ±2%) over
a 1.72V to 5.5V input. The demonstration circuit can be
easily modified to generate different output voltages.
