Description
Demonstration circuit 2240A is a synchronous four-
quadrant converter featuring the
controller. The LT8714 can regulate to positive, negative,
or zero volts when configured as a four-quadrant topol-
ogy. The DC2240A regulates from a 10V to 14V input
source to an adjustable output voltage from positive 5V
to negative 5V with a 5A maximum current rating, and
operates at 200kHz switching frequency.
The LT8714 incorporates a power good feature to let
the user know if the output voltage is within its target
regulation voltage.
The LT8714 has an output voltage control (CTRL) pin
which sets the output voltage. The DC2240A has a

externally (EXT) or internally (INT). If selected internally,
®
the output voltage can be set to +5V or –5V. If selected
externally, the output voltage can vary between positive
5V and negative 5V, following a 0.1V – 1V CTRL signal
with high bandwidth.
The LT8714 data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and application information. The data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick start
guide for demo circuit 2240A.
