DESCRIPTION
LTM8023 36V, 2A DC/DC
µModule
®
Regulator
Demonstration circuit 1195 features the LTM
®
8023, a
step-down regulator preconfigured to deliver 3.3V at up
to 2A from a 5V to 36V input supply. The LTM8023 is a
step-down converter, so minimum amount of headroom
is required to keep the output in regulation. In addition,
the input voltage required to turn on is higher than that
required to run (see Minimum Input Voltage section in the
data sheet for detail). The optional Burst Mode
®
operation
of LTM8023 supports high efficiency and low output ripple
at light load conditions.

PARAMETER CONDITION VALUE
Input Voltage Range 5V (Note 1) to 36V
Output Voltage VOUT 3.3V
Maximum Output Current 2A
Typical Switching Frequency 600kHz
Note 1: The circuit requires more than 5V to run at full load. See Figure 1 and the data sheet for detail.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1195 is a simple way to evaluate
the performance of the LTM8023. Refer to Figure 2 and
Figure 3 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow the procedure below:
NOTE. When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,
care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the
oscilloscope probe. Measure the input or output voltage
ripple by touching the probe tip directly across the VIN or
VOUT and GND terminals. See Figure 3 for proper scope
probe technique.
1. Place JP1 on the ON position.
2. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
and GND.
3. Turn on the power at the input. The output voltage
should rise to 3.3V.
4. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust
the load within the operating range and observe the
output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and
other parameters.
