Description
Demonstration circuit 2121A features the
high efficiency, triple 5A/5A/4A step-down power µModule
regulator. The input voltage range is from 4.75V to 28V.
The output voltage range is 0.8V to 5.5V for Channel 1
and Channel 2, 0.8V to 13.5V for Channel 3. Derating is
necessary for certain V
IN
conditions. The DC2121A offers access to the TK/SS pins
allowing the user to program output tracking or soft-start
period. The board operates in continuous conduction mode
in heavy load conditions. For high efficiency at low load
currents, the MODE jumper (JP4) selects pulse-skipping

mode for noise sensitive applications or Burst Mode
operation in less noise sensitive applications. Channel 1
and 2 can be connected in parallel for a single 10A output
solution with optional jumper resistors. The LTM4634 data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual
prior to working on or modifying demo circuit DC2121A.
