DEMO MANUAL DC2001A
LTC3787EUFD
4-Phase High Current
Synchronous
Step-Up Converter
Description
Demonstration circuit 2001A is a step-up DC/DC converter
using two
LTC3787EUFD
dual-phase synchronous boost
controllers in a parallel configuration for high current, high
power 4-phase operation.
The DC2001A has an input supply voltage range from
6V to 24V. The converter provides an output voltage of
24V, with a very high efficiency output of 25A to 30A, as
shown in Figure 2.
The
LTC3787
data sheet gives a complete description
of the part, operation and application information, and
must be read in conjunction with this demo manual for
the DC2001A.

DEMO MANUAL DC2001A
Quick start proceDure
Demonstration circuit 2001A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LTC3787. Refer to Figure 1
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below.
1. Set the jumper as follows:
JP1:
JP2:
FCC
ON
4. Turn on the supply and adjust the voltage to the desired
value, up to 24V, while monitoring the output.
NOTE: Do not exceed 33V input.
5. Once the proper output voltage has been established,
increase the current limit as necessary.
6. Turn on the load and adjust as necessary.
Optional
1. For pulse skip or Burst Mode
®
operation, set jumper
JP1 to PS or BM.
2. To shut down switching, set jumper JP2 to OFF.
3. For power good indication, monitor PGOOD.
4. For external clock synchronization, connect the clock
source to CLKIN and remove jumper JP1.

2. With all power off, connect the input power supply,
load, and meters using heavy duty cables, as shown in
Figure 1.
NOTE: Input supply must be capable of at least 65A at
12V, or 110A at 6V.
3. Preset the system load to 0A and the input supply to
12V, 2A current limit.
