DEMO MANUAL DC1537A
LT3992A
Monolithic Dual Tracking 3A
Step-Down Switching Regulator
DESCRIPTION
The demo circuit 1537A is a dual current mode PWM
step-down DC/DC converter featuring LT
®
3992. The demo
circuit is designed for 5V and 3.3V outputs from a 7V to
60V input. The current capability of each channel is up to 3A
when running individually and 2A when both are sourcing
the same current without special heat sinking. Individual
soft-start, current limit, comparator, input voltage for each
output as well as frequency division and synchronous
and clock output functions simplify the complex design
of dual-output power converters
Both converters are synchronized to either a common
external clock input or a resistor programmable 250kHz to
2MHz internal oscillator. At all frequencies, a 180° phase
shift between channels is maintained, reducing voltage
ripple. Programmable frequency allows optimization be-
tween efficiency and external component size. Each output
can be independently disabled using its own SHDN pin
and be placed in a low quiescent current shutdown mode.
The LT3992 data sheet gives complete description of the
device, operation and application information. The data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick start
guide for demo circuit 1537A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demo circuit 1537A is easy to set up to evaluate the
performance of the LT3992. Refer to Figure 5 for proper
measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure
below:
NOTE. When measuring the input or output voltage
ripple, care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead
on the oscilloscope probe. Measure the input or output
voltage ripple by touching the probe tip directly across
the VIN or VOUT and GND terminals. See Figure 6 for
proper scope probe technique.
1. Place JP1 on the SINGLE position.
2. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN1
and GND. (Connect another input power supply to VIN2
and GND if DUAL is selected.)
3. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE. Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed
60V (Due to part selection on D3 and D4, 60V is for
transient purpose. Continuous operation can be avail-
able after D3 and D4 are replaced with higher voltage
rated schottky diodes).
dc1537af
4. Check for the proper output voltages.
NOTE. If there is no output, temporarily disconnect
the load to make sure that the load is not set too high.
5. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust
the load within the operating range and observe the
output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and
other parameters.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
If an EMI filter is desirable on VIN1, it can be feasibly
installed on the back of the board in the optional circuit
area. However, a trace cut is required for the insertion of
the optional circuit. See Figure 7 for the cut line.
