Linear Technology DC1562B Demo Manual

DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1562B is an engineering tool to
design and evaluate the LTC699X-X family of TimerBlox
circuits. The center section of the board contains a pre-
configured TimerBlox function. DC1562B comes in twelve
timing function variations as outlined in Table 1.
Surrounding the center board is a playground prototyping
area. The prototyping area has pads for DIP-8, S8, MS8,
or S6 packages with bread boarding connections to each
pin and two convenient power buses and ground bus
surrounding the entire area. This area is for conditioning
signals to control the timer function and for adding loads
controlled in time.
USING THE DEMO BOARD
To understand the simplicity and flexibility of the Timer-
Blox function, download the appropriate data sheet from
the LTC website, www.linear.com. Changing the supplied
default configuration of the demo board is a simple matter
of determining a few new resistor values. Simply select a
pair of resistor values for the DIV value from the data sheet
DIV table, calculate the value of R
resistor on the board, apply power, and go! Single sup-
ply power between 2.25V and 5.5V and ground must be
supplied directly to the center board.
The outer prototyping section of the board can be used
with single or dual supplies as required. When using the
prototyping area, the outermost trace, which is ground,
must be connected (hand wired) to the ground on the
center board section. All input and output holes are sized
for 65mil turret terminals, or wires can be soldered in the
holes directly.

TimerBlox: Oscillators,
The center part of the board can be detached as a stream-
lined circuit, to combine with a pre-existing circuit. For
application flexibility a provision is made for buffering and
inverting the output of the timer. An optional NC7W04P6X
SC70 package dual inverter can be added at U2 to provide
this functionality.

Changing the timer configuration requires changing re-
sistor values on the center board. The resistor lead holes
can accept "pressed-in" DIP sockets, or resistors can
be soldered directly in the holes. Pads for 0805 surface
mount resistors are also included at each position where
a leaded resistor could be used. Pads are also included
for three 25-turn trim pots which can be used to replace
R (R8) for master oscillator frequency adjustment, PSF
SET
in (R10) for voltage controlled options, and R
frequency divider control to permit real-time adjustments
while running.
A TimerBlox part, decoupling cap and a bulk decoupling
10µF tantalum cap are already placed on the board. Re-
sistors are also provided to configure each device for a
representative function to start evaluating these unique
timing functions.
