DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2585A contains two circuits fea-
turing the
LTC
3290. The top LTC3290 circuit operates
®
as a high voltage boost by using the power from two
input supplies to create a higher output voltage. The bot-
tom LTC3290 circuit operates as a V
using the power from an auxiliary supply input (V
regulating a voltage above the V
V
/V
range allows two voltages to be used together
IN
AUX
to efficiently create a third voltage, boost from a single
supply to boost, or regulate above a variable input voltage
like a battery.
The high efficiency boost circuit has three selectable out-
puts, 15V, 24V, or 42V. If a different output is desired then
the top resistor, R2, and/or the bottom resistor, R6, can
be changed to provide a different output voltage. Refer
to the LTC3290 data sheet and demo board schematic
for more information on how to set the output voltage
for the LTC3290.

The LTC3290 can use two separate supplies or a single
supply connected to both inputs for either circuit. This
can be useful to boost or track a battery voltage with a
regulated output.
The LTC3290 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.
