Analog Devices Linear ADI Power DC3054A-C Demo Manual

DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 3054A-C features the
5V, 6A synchronous step-down Silent Switcher
ating as a 6.6MHz, 3.3V to 1.8V 6A buck regulator. The
LTC3309B supports adjustable output voltages from
0.5V to V , and operating frequencies from 3MHz up to
IN
10MHz. The LTC3309B is a compact, ultralow emission,
high efficiency, and high speed synchronous monolithic
step-down switching regulator. A minimum on-time of
22ns enables high V to low V
IN
high switching frequencies.
The DC3054A-C operating mode may be selected as
Burst Mode operation, skip or forced continuous (FC)
®
mode. Setting JP1 to the FC/SYNC position will allow the
LTC3309B to sync to a clock frequency from 3MHz to
10MHz. The LTC3309B operates in forced continuous
mode when syncing to an external clock. The DC3054A-C
is set to a fixed 6.6MHz.
The DC3054A-C is set to a fixed 6.6MHz frequency by
connecting RT to V through a 0Ω resistor, R9. The fre-
IN
quency can be easily changed by removing R9 and setting
an appropriate resistor in the R4 location to obtain the
desired frequency. Refer to the LTC3309B data sheet for
the proper R value for a desired switching frequency.

DEMO MANUAL
The DC3054A-C also has an EMI filter to reduce conducted
EMI. This EMI filter can be included by applying the input
voltage at the V EMI terminal. The EMI performance
IN
of the board is shown in the EMI Test Results section.
The red lines in the EMI performance graphs illustrate
the CISPR25 Class 5 peak limits for the conducted and
radiated emission tests.
The LTC3309B data sheet gives a complete description
of the device, operation and application information. The
data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo
manual. The LTC3309B is assembled in a 2mm × 2mm
LQFN package with exposed pads for low thermal resis-
tance. The layout recommendations for low EMI operation
and maximum thermal performance are available in the
data sheet section Low EMI PCB Layout.
The Efficiency vs Load graph shows the efficiency and
the power loss of the circuit with a 3.3V input in Burst
Mode operation.
