Description
Demonstration circuit 2243A is a triple power supply that
includes one 400mA step-down regulator and two 200mA
low dropout (LDO) linear tracking regulators featuring the
LT
3668. The demo circuit is designed for one 6V and dual
®
5V outputs from a 7V to 40V input. Two LDO outputs are
configured as post-regulators of the switching regulator
output. The total current capability of three output chan-
nels is up to 400mA, while the two LDO regulators are
capable of 200mA each.
The switching frequency of the step-down regulator can be
programmed via an oscillator resistor (R8) over a 250kHz
to 2.2 MHz range. The default setting is 600kHz.
The LT3668 internal boost diode and loop compensation
reduce the components count and solution size. The cur-
rent mode control scheme creates fast transient response

and good loop stability. The switching regulator has cycle-
by-cycle current limit and diode current sense, providing
protection against shorted outputs.
JP1 can be used to set the whole LT3668 in shutdown
mode. JP3 and JP4 enable and disable the outputs of the
dual 5V tracking LDOs respectively.
The LT3668 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 2243A. Proper board layout is es-
sential for both proper operation and maximum thermal
performance. See the data sheet section "PCB Layout".
