The LTC4041 is a complete supercapacitor backup system for 2.9V to 5.5V supply rails. It contains a high current step-down DC/DC converter to charge a single supercapacitor or two supercapacitors in series. When input power is unavailable, the step-down regulator operates in reverse as a step-up regulator to backup the systemoutput from the supercapacitor(s).The LTC4041?s adjustable input current limit function reduces charge current to protect the input supply from overload while an external disconnect switch isolates theinput supply during backup.

Demonstration circuit 2664A is a VCO Rider Board with Loop Filter that supports the popular 0.5" × 0.5" VCO package footprint. The DC2664A expedites evaluation of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) devices requiring an external Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). Without the DC2664A, each VCO and PLL combination requires a unique loop filter design, resulting in several PLL demo board modifications to evaluate each VCO. These board modifications are time consuming and often result in damage to either the PLL or the VCO. The DC2664A integrates the VCO and loop filter allowing these unique designs to reside on multiple DC2664As. The DC2664A RFOUT and VTUNE SMA connections allow the user to quickly evaluate a PLL with multiple VCOs without risk of damage from multiple board modifications. VCOs are notoriously sensitive to power supply noise and spurs. The DC2664A resolves the concern of locating a low noise and low spurious lab supply by powering the VCO with an onboard ultralow noise and ultrahigh PSRR LDO, the LT3042. A second LT3042 LDO is available on the DC2664A to power an active loop filter. Both LDOs are powered from a single supply, simplifying the number of lab supplies required to evaluate a VCO and PLL combination. The DC2664A was designed to mate directly with the LTC6955 (DC2611A) and LTC6952 (DC2609A) demo boards.

Demonstration circuit 2674A is a 140V high efficiency switching surge stopper featuring the LTC7862. The board operates from an input voltage range of 8V to 140V, and provides a 8V to 34V output from 0A to 10A. Its output voltage is programmed to be clamped at 34V (typical) with a minimum ride-through duration of 500ms to allow the load to operate through the input overvoltage events. Its output current is limited to protect against output short-circuit faults. A soft-start feature is utilized to control its output voltage slew rate at start-up and input voltage transients. This feature reduces current surge and output voltage overshoot. The demonstration board is able to achieve low insertion drop (210mV typical) by utilizing the low RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFETs and low DCR inductor. This board also includes optional reverse polarity protection circuit which protects the downstream loads up to −40V. The demonstration circuit is suitable for a wide range of automotive, industrial, and telecom applications. The LTC7862 high efficiency switching surge stopper protects loads from input high voltage transients. During an input overvoltage event, the LTC7862 controls the gate of two external N-channel MOSFETs and operate as a switching DC/DC step-down regulator. The output voltage is maintained at a safe level, allowing the loads to continue to operate through the input overvoltage events. During normal operation, the LTC7862 turns on the top external N-channel MOSFET continuously, passing the input voltage through to the output with minimal voltage drop. The LTC7862 also limits the maximum output current to protect against overcurrent and short-circuit faults. A programmable timer limits the time that the LTC7862 can spend switching during an overvoltage, overcurrent, or startup condition. When the timer expires, the external MOSFETs are turned off for a cooldown period and then the LTC7862 restarts. The timer limits how long the LTC7862 can switch when the power loss is relatively high, the components and thermal design can be optimized for normal pass-through operation. The LTC7862 data sheet gives a complete description of the part, operation and application information. The data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual for DC2674A. Proper board layout is essential for maximum thermal and electrical performance. See the data sheet sections for details.

Additional DC2686A demo circuits can be connected in series for higher number of LEDs, or in parallel to allow for higher current operation. Resistors are used to configure both the I2C slave address as well as the default start-up state. The default configuration for DC2686A sets the I2C address as 0000 with all LEDs off. See the LT3967 data sheet for details. The LT3960 I2C to CAN-Physical transceiver is used to send and receive I2C data through harsh or noisy environments at up to 400kb/s using the CAN-Physical layer for differential signaling over twisted pair connections. Both SDA and SCL data lines are converted to differential signals and are shared between devices connected to the bus. This allows for physical separation of the I2C source with the LT3960 transceiver board and the LT3967 main PCB along with the LED driver. This demo circuit is designed to be easily configured and interfaced with a compatible low output capacitance LED driver and LED string. It can easily be directly attached to a buck LED driver or a floating buck-mode LED driver.
