Description
Demonstration circuit 2253A is a high power, high ef-
ficiency, 2-phase interleaved synchronous buck-boost
converter with a 6V to 36V input range. It can supply a
25A maximum load current with a 12V output. This demo
board features 2x LTC3789EGN controllers.
The
LTC
3789
is a high performance current-mode
®
buck-boost switching regulator controller that operates
from input voltages above, below or equal to the output
voltage, while an output current feedback loop provides
support for output current limit and battery charging. With
a wide 4V to 38V (40V maximum) input and output range
and seamless, low noise transitions between operating
regions, the LTC3789 is ideal for automotive, telecom and
battery-powered systems.

The light load operating mode of the controller is de-
termined through the MODE/PLLIN pin. By default, the
forced continuous mode (CCM) operation is pre-selected
on this demo board. Switching frequency is preset at
about 200kHz. Two paralleling schemes are available for
this demo board and by default the method of shared I
pins is adopted. Please refer to the Quick Start Procedure
section for the optional Master-Slave paralleling scheme.
To shut down the converter, force the RUN pin below 1.2V
(JP1: OFF) Please refer to LTC3789 data sheet for more
detailed information.
