Multi-Output Power Management Solution with 4 Buck
Switching and 3 LDO Linear Regulators with I
DESCRIPTION
DC2985A is a multi-output power management solution
demonstration circuit, featuring the
two 2.5A, two 1.5A synchronous step-down DC/DC regu-
lators and three 300mA LDO regulators.
All regulators can be enabled with external enable pins.
After the first regulator is enabled, the remaining enable
pins use a precision threshold to allow hardwire-pro-
grammed Power-Up Sequence.

DEMO MANUAL DC2985A
A micro-USB communication interface is integrated on
board to allow software GUI to write or read the registers
2
in LT3380 via its I
C serial port. This GUI can control
regulator enables, power-down sequencing, output volt-
age levels, dynamic voltage scaling, operation modes,
status reporting and other special functions.
Refer to LT3380 data sheet for more details on the electri-
cal specifications and the setting of its command registers.
