DC1724A

LINEAR TECHNOLOGY DC1724A Demonstration Board for 36Vin, 600mA Step-Down µModule Converter with 5μA Quiescent Current

The is a demonstration board featuring LTM8029 µModule converter. The LTM8029 is a 36VIN, 600mA step down µModule converter with 5µA quiescent current. The demo circuit is designed for a 5V, 600mA output at an operating frequency of 600KHz. The input voltage range is from 5.6V to 36V. Equipped with an off time skipping capability, the LTM8029 can operate at input voltages lower than other step down regulators. The wide input range of the LTM8029 allows a variety of input sources such as automotive batteries and industrial supplies. Its current mode control scheme creates fast transient response and good loop stability. At light loads, the LTM8029 operates in burst mode operation to maintain high efficiency and low output ripple over a broad current range. To provide a programmable undervoltage lockout, users can remove jumper JP1 and populate R1 and R3 on the RUN pin.
