Demonstration circuit 1458 is a monolithic step-down DC/DC switching regulator featuring nonsynchronous LT3972. The demo board is designed for 5V @ 3.5A output from a 6.3V to 33V input with transients up to 62V.

Demo Circuit 1467 is a high efficiency, high frequency step-down converter, incorporating the LTC3614 monolithic synchronous regulator. The DC1467A has an input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V, and is capable of delivering up to 4A of output current. The output voltage of the DC1467A can be set as low as 0.6V, the reference voltage of the LTC3614. The operating frequency range of the DC1467A is either set to a fixed 2.25 MHz by connecting the frequency pin to SVin, set by an external resistor, or synchronized to an external clock, with a range up to 4 MHz. At low load currents, the DC1467A can operate in either noise sensitive applications, due to the capability of the LTC3614 to operate in pulse-skipping mode, or in high efficiency applications, because the LTC3614 also has Burst-Mode capability. The Burst Mode clamp can be set externally.

Demonstration circuit 1471 is a monolithic step-down DC/DC switching regulator featuring the LT3990. The switching frequency is adjustable up to 2.2MHz. The demo circuit is designed for 5V, 350mA output from a 6.5V to 62V input. The wide input range of the LT3990 allows a variety of input sources including automotive batteries and 24V industrial supplies. Low ripple Burst Mode increases the efficiency at the light load while keeping the output ripple below 5mV in a typical application. The part is in shutdown when the EN pin is low and active when the pin is high. The threshold of the EN pin is accurate at 1V when VIN is above 4.2V. Adding a resistor divider from VIN to EN can program the LT3990 to regulate the output only when VIN is above a desired voltage. The catch diode and boost diode are integrated to reduce the components count and solution size. The circuit consumes only 2.5μA of quiescent current.

The LTC1643A is a Hot Swap? controller that allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live PCI-Bus slot. Two external N-channel transistors control the 3.3V and 5V supplies while on-chip switches control the ?12V and 12V supplies. All supply voltages can be ramped up at a programmable rate. An electronic circuit breaker protects all four supplies against overcurrent faults. The foldback current limit feature limits current spikes and power dissipation when shorts occur and allows boards with large capacitances to be powered up without tripping the circuit breaker. The PWRGD output indicates when all of the supply voltages are within tolerance and the FAULT output indicates an overcurrent condition. The ON(LTC1643AH)/ON (LTC1643AL/ LTC1643AL-1) pin is used to cycle the board power or reset the circuit breaker. The LTC1643AL-1 has the ?12V power good comparators disabled.The LTC1643A is available in a 16-pin narrow SSOP package.Applications PCI-Based Servers CompactPCI Compliant Boards

Demonstration circuit 2268A-F is a high efficiency, high density, dual 8A, switch mode step-down power supply on a compact 1.5' × 1.2' PCB. It features the LTM4630A μModule® regulator. The input voltage is from 4.5V to 15V. The output voltage is programmable from 0.6V to 5.3V. DC2268A-F can deliver up to 18A maximum in each channel. As explained in the data sheet, output current derating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT, and thermal conditions. The board operates in continuous conduction mode in heavy load conditions.

Differential amplifier demo boards are available separately that provide amplification of low level differential signals if required. Alternatively, by connecting the DC2290A into a customer application the performance of the LTC2387 can be evaluated directly in that circuit.

The LT1246/LT1247 are 8-pin, fixed frequency, current mode, pulse width modulators. These devices are designed to be improved plug compatible versions of the industry standard UC1842 PWM circuit. The LT1246/LT1247 are optimized for off-line and DC/DC converter applications. They contain a temperature compensated reference, high gain error amplifier, current sensing comparator, and a high current totem pole output stage ideally suited to driving power MOSFETs. Start-up current has been reduced to less than 250?A. Cross-conduction current spikes in the totem pole output stage have been eliminated, making 1MHz operation practical. Several new features have been incorporated. Leading edge blanking has been added to the current sense comparator. This minimizes or eliminates the filter that is normally required. Eliminating this filter allows the current sense loop to operate with minimum delays. Trims have been added to the oscillator circuit for both frequency and sink current, and both of these parameters are tightly specified. The output stage is clamped to a maximum VOUT of 18V in the on state. The output and the reference output are actively pulled low during under-voltage lockout.Applications Off-Line Converters DC/DC Converters

The ADMV4821 is a silicon germanium (SiGe), 24 GHz millimeterwave (mmW) to 29.5 GHz mmW 5G beamformer. The RF IC is highly integrated and contains 16 independent channels with both transmit and receive functionality. The ADMV4821 supports eight horizontal and eight vertical polarized antennas via the independent RFV and RFH inputs/outputs common pins.In transmit mode, both the RFV and RFH input signals are split via two independent 1:8 power splitters and pass through the eight, independent, corresponding transmit channels. In this mode, each channel includes a vector modulator (VM) to control the phase and two digital variable gain amplifiers (DVGAs) to control the amplitude.In receive mode, input signals pass through two sets of eight receive channels (either vertical or horizontal) and are combined via one independent 8:1 combiner connected to the RFV pin and one independent 8:1 combiner connected to the RFH pin. In this mode, each channel includes a VM to control the phase and a DVGA to control the amplitude.The VM provides a full 360? phase adjustment range in either transmit or receive mode. The VM provides six bits of resolution for 5.625? phase steps.In transmit mode, the total DVGA dynamic range adjustment range is 32.4 dB. The DVGAs provide five bits or six bits of resolution, resulting in 1.0 dB or 0.5 dB amplitude steps, respectively.In receive mode, the DVGA allows for 17.1 dB of dynamic range adjustment. The DVGA also provides six bits of resolution, resulting in 0.5 dB amplitude steps. The DVGAs provide a flat phase response across the full gain range.The transmitter channels contain individual power detectors to detect and calibrate the gain for each channel as well as the channel to channel gain mismatch. Directly connect the ADMV4821 RF ports to a patch antenna to create a dual polarization mmW 5G subarray.Users can program the ADMV4821 by using a 3-wire or 4-wire serial port interface (SPI). The integrated on-chip low dropout (LDO) regulator generates the 1.8 V supply for the SPI circuitry to reduce the number of supply domains required. There are various SPI modes to enable fast startup and control during normal operation.Users can either set the amplitude and phase for each channel individually or program multiple channels simultaneously by using the on-chip memory for beamforming. The on-chip memory can store up to 256 beam positions, which can be allocated for either transmitter or receiver mode in any combination. In addition, four address pins allow SPI control of up to 16 devices on the same serial lines. Dedicated horizontal and vertical polarization load pins also synchronize all devices in the same array. There is a horizontal and vertical polarization transmit and receive mode control pins (TRXV and TRXH) for fast switching between transmit and receive mode.The ADMV4821 comes in a compact, thermally enhanced 10 mm ? 10 mm, RoHs compliant land grid array (LGA) package. The ADMV4821 operates over the ?40?C to +95?C case temperature range. This LGA package allows users to heat-sink the ADMV4821 from the top side of the package for the most efficient thermal heatsinking and to allow flexible antenna placement on the opposite side of the printed circuit board (PCB).Throughout the figures in the data sheet, Tx means transmit (or transmitter) and Rx means receive (or receiver).APPLICATIONS5G applicationsBroadband communicationTest and measurementAerospace and defense
