OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LTC3672BEDC-2 is a monolithic fixed output,
400mA, synchronous buck regulator and two 150mA
LDOS.
VOUT1 is driven by a high efficiency synchronous buck
regulator with a fixed output of 1.2V. The buck regulator
on the LTC3672BEDC-2 operates at approximately
2.25MHz, allowing the use of small inductors and
capacitors.
The two fixed output LDOs, have a maximum dropout
voltage of 250mV, over process and temperature. This
allows all three outputs to remain in regulation with VIN
as low as 2.98V.
All of the regulators on the LTC3672BEDC-2 are enabled
via the ENALL pin, controlled by JP1.

Figure 1: Test Equipment Hookup Diagram
1) Connect test equipment as shown in Figure 1.
Set PS1 = 0V, set PS1 Ilimit = 1A, set LD1 =
0A, LD2 = 0A, LD3 = 0A, and JP1 = ON.
2)
Slowly increase PS1 and verify that all
regulators are operational at VIN ≥ 2.9V.
3) Set PS1 = 3.6V, and JP1 = ON. Verify VM2 =
1.17V~1.23V, VM3 = 1.755V ~ 1.845V, and
VM4 = 2.73V~2.87V.
4)
Set PS1 = 2.9V, LD1 = 400mA. Verify VM2 =
1.17V~1.23V.
5)
Set LD2 = 150mA, LD3=150mA. Verify that
VM3 = 1.755V~1.845V, and VM4 =
2.65~2.87V.
6) Set PS1 = 5.5V, and repeat step 5.
7)
Set JP1 = OFF, set PS1 = 2.9V, verify that all
output voltages (VM2-4) are 0V.
8) Set PS1 = 5.5V, verify that all output voltages
(VM2-4) are 0V.
9)
Set PS1 = 0V, set JP1 = ON.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
There are several components that are only necessary
under certain conditions. C1, C3, and R1, need to be
used as follows.
The connection of VIN to an operating supply may
have significant parasitic inductance. When this
connection is made to the DC1324A PCB, the supply
must charge up the local decoupling capacitance, C2.
A current is established in the connecting leads, while
this capacitor is charging. This current acts as a step
load to induce ringing in the connection. This ringing
may cause the voltage at VIN to rise to up to 2X the
supply voltage, possibly damaging devices, including
the LTC3672BEDC-2, on the DC1324A board. To
prevent this, the damping network composed of
C1&R1 has been added. R1 serves to reduce the Q of
the resonant circuit, and reduces overshoot on VIN
from resonant ringing. C1 blocks the DC voltage,
preventing R1 from consuming any DC current.
If the connection between VIN and the power supply is
very short, and has very low parasitic inductance, there
is no need for this damping circuit, and it may be
omitted. This is usually the case when the
LTC3672BEDC-2 resides on the same PCB as the
source of the VIN voltage. Please be careful with
battery wiring that supplies VIN, as this may also have
significant parasitic inductance.
C3 provides a decoupling function, in the event that
some parasitic resistance and inductance exists
between VIN and VIN1. This impedance can be
problematic when the LTC3672BEDC-2 is supplying
current to loads that contain high speed transients. If,
in the application, a direct connection is made to VIN1,
then it is unlikely that C3 will be needed.
