DEMO MANUAL DC1781A LT3507A Triple Monolithic Step-Down Regulator with LDO DESCRIPTION Demo circuit 1781A is a Triple Monolithic Step-Down Regulator with LDO featuring the LT3507A. The demo circuit is designed for 1.8V, 3.3V, 5.0V and 2.5V outputs from a 7V to 36V input. The current capability of each channel is 2.7A, 1.5A, 1.8A and 0.3A respectively. Independent input voltage, feedback, soft-start and power good pins for each channel simplify complex power supply tracking/ sequencing requirements. All three converters are either synchronized to a common external clock input or single-resistor programmable from 250kHz to 2.5MHz using internal oscillator. At all frequencies, a 180 phase shift between VOUT1 and the other two outputs is maintained, reducing input voltage ripple and PERFORMANCE SUMMARY PARAMETER component size. Programmable frequency allows for optimization between efficiency and external component size. Each output can be independently disabled using its own soft-start pin, or by using the SD terminal the entire part can be placed in a low quiescent current shutdown mode. The LT3507A 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 1781A.

Refer to Figure 2 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 3 for proper scope probe technique. 1. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN and GND. 2. Turn on the power at the input. NOTE. Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed 36V. 3. 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. 4. 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. 100 90 EFFICIENCY (%) 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 VOUT1 = 1.8V VOUT1 = 3.3V VOUT1 = 5.0V 10 0 0.3 0.6 0.9 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.1 LOAD CURRENT (A) 2.4 2.7 DC1781A F01 Figure 1.
