Product Details

Demonstration circuit DC1617A is a dual output synchronous buck converter featuring the LTC3855EFE in a high density, two sided drop-in layout with power components on the top and the control circuit on the bottom. The package style for the LTC3855EFE is a 38-lead TSSOP. The board comes in two assembly types. The –A assembly provides 2.5V/15A and 1.8V/15A from a 4.5V to 26V input. DCR inductor sensing is used to provide the highest efficiency. The current limit is NTC compensated to provide the minimal amount of variation over temperature. The -A also features remote sensing for V_OUT2.

Demonstration circuit DC1617A is a dual output synchronous buck converter featuring the LTC3855EFE in a high density, two sided drop-in layout with power components on the top and the control circuit on the bottom. The package style for the LTC3855EFE is a 38-lead TSSOP. The board comes in two assembly types. The –B assembly is a high power, 12V/6A and 5V/10A converter with a 13V to 36V input. A sense resistor is used to provide a precise current limit. Unlike the –A assembly, on the –B assembly the remote sense diff amp is bypassed since V_OUT2 is > 3.3V.
