DEMO MANUAL DC1787A LT3759 Wide Input Voltage Range Boost/SEPIC/Inverting Controller DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuit 1787A is a wide input voltage range SEPIC converter featuring the LT3759 controller. It converts a 2.8V~36V input to a 12V output, with 1A load current capability for VIN 4V. The converter operates at a 300 kHz nominal switching frequency, with 91% peak efficiency. The DC1787A can be easily modified to generate other output voltages, and can also be optimized for efficiency and size with narrower input voltage ranges. The LT3759 is a boost/SEPIC/Inverting controller with a wide input voltage range, suitable for applications from single-cell lithium-ion battery portable electronics to high voltage automotive and industrial power supplies. It also exhibits low shutdown quiescent current of 1A, making it an ideal fit for battery-operated systems. Thanks to a novel PERFORMANCE SUMMARY PARAMETER FBX pin architecture, the LT3759 can be connected directly to a divider from either positive output or negative output voltage to ground. It also packs many popular features such as soft-start, input undervoltage lockout, adjustable frequency and synchronization in a small 12-lead exposed pad MSOP package. The LT3759 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 1787A.

Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure. 1. With power off, connect the input power supply to the VIN (E1) and GND (E2) terminals on the demo circuit. NOTE: Minimize the voltage drop and transient on the input wires between the power supply and input terminals of the demo circuit. 2. Connect load to the VOUT (E6) and GND (E5) terminals on the demo circuit. Connect voltage and current meters as shown in Figure 1. Preset the load to 0.5A or less, and VIN supply to be 0V. 3. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical 12V application: EN (JP1) ON SYNC (JP2) OFF 4. Turn on the power supply at the input. Slowly increase VIN to 3.0V. NOTE: Make sure the input voltage is within the range. If higher operating voltage is required, power components with higher voltage ratings should be used. The maximum input voltage of LT3759 is 42V. NOTE: The demo circuit configures the shutdown voltage at typical 2.5V, which means that the input voltage can be dropped to as low as 2.5V, once it starts up. The startup voltage is 3.0V but can be adjusted by changing R1 and R3 values. 5. Check for the proper output voltages. The output should be regulated at 12V (3%). NOTE: If there is no output, or output is out of spec, temporarily disconnect the load from the demo board. Make sure the load current is set within spec, and the power supply current capability is above 4A. 6. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the input and load within the operating range and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and other parameters. Typical efficiency curve, regulation, and operation waveforms are shown in Figures 3 and 4, respectively. NOTE: When measuring the input or output voltage ripples, 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 and GND, or VOUT and GND terminals. See Figure 2 for proper scope probe technique. NOTE: The output current capability depends on the input voltage, as can be seen in Figure 3. Proper cooling is necessary for overload operations. dc1787af 2 DEMO MANUAL DC1787A QUICK START PROCEDURE dc1787af F01 Figure 1.
