DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC2061 is a DC/DC synchro-
nous boost converter featuring the
stant frequency current mode synchronous boost
controller. The DC2061A operates over a 6V to 60V
input, develops a 48V output and provides 3A to 12A
of output current as shown in Figure 3. The 150kHz
(2 • 150kHz at the output) constant frequency operation
results in a small and efficient circuit. The converter pro-
vides high output voltage accuracy (typically ±3%) over
wide load range with no minimum load requirement. The

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit DC2061 is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC3784. For proper measure-
ment equipment setup refer to Figure 1 and follow the
procedure below:
Note: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,
care must be taken to minimize the length of oscilloscope
probe ground lead. Measure the input or output voltage
ripple by connecting the probe tip directly across the VIN
or VOUT and GND terminals as shown in Figure 2.
1. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
and GND.
2. Keep the load set to 0A or disconnected.
3. Turn the input power source on and slowly increase
the input voltage. Be careful not to exceed 60V.

Note: Make sure that the input voltage, V
ceed 60V. If higher operating voltage is required, power
components with higher voltage ratings should be used.
When the input voltage is set higher than 48V the output
voltage will follow the input voltage.
4. Set the input voltage to 6V and check for the proper
output voltage of 48V. Set the output load to 2A. If there
is no output, temporarily disconnect the load to make
sure that the load is not set too high.
5. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust
the load and observe the output voltage regulation,
ripple voltage, efficiency and other parameters.

    The DC2061 output current capability depends on the input voltage and proper cooling. Typical performance of DC2061A is shown in Figure 3. As can be seen from Fig- ure 3, the output current capability depends on the input voltage. Also, when input voltage is equal to, or higher...

    DEMO MANUAL DC2061A QUICK START PROCEDURE Bias Circuit The LTC3784 can operate with input voltages up to 65V. However, depending on input voltage, operating frequency and MOSFETs that are used the power dissipation in the part may become too high. In order to provide bias power at high input voltage the DC2061 circuit is equipped with high efficiency bias circuit LTC3630A.
