DESCRIPTION
Demo circuit 3205A features the LTC3314A, 5V, dual 4A/
dual-phase 8A step-down DC/DC regulator IC. This demo
circuit is configured as a 2-phase, 2MHz, 3.3V input, sin-
gle 1V output, 8A buck regulator. The top switches are
180-degree out of phase to reduce the output ripple.
The
LTC
3314A
features dual monolithic synchronous
®
4A step-down power stages in a 30-ball, 2.2mm ×
2.7mm WLCSP package for space saving applications
with demanding performance requirements. Both bucks
achieve high efficiency and fast transient response with
small external components. The LTC3314A can also be
configured as a dual output, 4A per output, step-down
converter. Please refer to DC3204A as a dual output
application example. The LTC3314A data sheet gives
a complete description of its operation and application
information. The data sheet must be read in conjunction

DEMO MANUAL DC3205A
3.3V to 1V 8A, 2MHz Dual-Phase Low
Ripple Step-Down DC/DC Regulator
with this demo manual when evaluating or modifying this
demo circuit.
DC3205A supports three operation modes, including
pulse-skipping, forced continuous and Burst Mode
operation. The clock frequency and the operation mode
are shared by both regulators. User can select desired
operation mode with JP1 jumper. Setting JP1 to FC/SYNC
position also allows the LTC3314A to sync to a clock fre-
quency from 1MHz to 3MHz, operating in forced continu-
ous mode.
An EMI filter is included in this demo circuit for noise
sensitive applications. To power with EMI filter, please
apply input voltage via VIN EMI terminal.
