Demonstration circuit 2113A is a high input voltage, high efficiency synchronous monolithic buck converter featuring the LTC3649. The DC2113A has wide input voltage range from 3.1V up to 60V. The output voltage of the DC2113A can be set as to 3.3V or 5V. However, "USER SELECT" option of DC2113A allows output voltage to be as high as input voltage minus 0.5V, with certain modifications. DC2113A is capable of delivering up to 4A of output current. DC2113A supports three operation modes: Fixed-Frequency modulation, Burst Mode® operation and the user can synchronize it with external clock also. Fixed-Frequency mode of operation maximizes the output current, reduces output voltage ripple, and yields a low noise switching spectrum. Burst Mode operation employs a variable frequency switching algorithm that minimizes the no-load input quiescent current and improves efficiency at light loads.

Demonstration circuit 2118B is a combination step-down battery charger and step-up battery backup regulator using the LTC4040 monolithic system power manager. The DC2118B has an input voltage range from 4.8V to 5.5V with overvoltage protection (OVP) to 40V, as limited by the external MOSFET. The input current is monitored to prioritize the load up to the 2.5A threshold before charge current is reduced. Battery Charging As initially configured, DC2118B is programmed for 2A charge current limit when in charge mode. The charge voltage is jumper-selectable in 8 discrete steps from 3.45V to 3.6V for LiFePO4 chemistry or 3.95V to 4.1V for Li-ion chemistry, according to the F2/F1/F0 programming input settings. The charge current limit is adjustable via the PROG pin resistor. End-of-charge status is triggered by current falling below C/8 and indicated by the CHRG LED. The optional NTC input provides temperature fault detection and status indicated by the FAULT LED. Charging can be enabled/disabled with the ENCHG jumper. Battery Backup Following an input power failure, the circuit automatically shifts to battery backup boost mode to regulate the VSYS output rail. The backup mode system output voltage is initially programmed for 5V. The input power failure status is indicated by the PFO LED. If VSYS ever falls below the programmed reset threshold voltage, the RST LED will change states to indicate the need to reset the system and recharge the battery. Backup regulation can be enabled/disabled with the ENBST jumper. For convenience, all LEDs can be disabled with the LED jumper to reduce the quiescent current of the system.

The demo circuit is designed for 8.0V, 5.0V, 3.3V, and 1.8V outputs from a nominal 12V input. The 4th channel is set as a boost converter and is powered from a wide input range with output VOUT4 regulated at 8V if 3V < VIN < 8.5V. It works as diode pass through if the input is above 8.5V.

Thanks to the pre-boost converter, they can ride through a cold crank in automotive applications while providing constant output voltages 5V and 3.3V. The low voltage buck is powered from the VOUT2 (3.3V), and the output VOUT3 is regulated at 1.8V with 1.8A maximum load current.
