DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1731A-A/1731A-B is a step-down
DC/DC converter using LTC3646/LTC3646-1 monolithic
synchronous buck regulator. The input voltage range is
from 4V to 40V. The output voltage range of LTC3646 is
2V to 30V, for LTC3646-1 is 0.6V to 15V. It can deliver up
to 1A of output current. At light load conditions, DC1731A
can operate in Burst Mode
ficiency. The user can choose to use internal or external
compensation. The switching frequency of LTC3646/
LTC3646-1 is programmable from 200kHz to 3MHz. It can
