Description
LTC3895EFE
High Input Voltage
Synchronous Buck Converter
Demonstration circuit 2117A is a single output high volt-
age nonisolated synchronous step-down converter that
drives all N-channel MOSFET power stage. It features the
LTC3895EFE, a high voltage step-down DC/DC controller
housed in a TSSOP-38 package with several pins removed
for high voltage spacing.
This DC2117A operates over an input voltage range from
14V to 130V, while the LT C
®
3895 can operate up to 150V.
This demo board produces a 12V output voltage with up to
a 5A output current, and is configured with a sense resistor
for over current protection and has optional DCR sensing.
To prevent high on-chip power dissipation in high input
voltage applications, the LTC3895 includes an NDRV pin
which drives the gate of an optional external N-channel
MOSFET acting as a low dropout linear regulator to supply
IC power and is an option on this board.
An internal charge pump allows for 100% duty cycle op-
eration in dropout, a useful feature when powered from
a battery during discharge. The LTC3895’s powerful 1Ω

performance summary
N-channel MOSFET gate drivers can be adjusted from
5V to 10V to enable the use of logic- or standard-level
MOSFETs to maximize efficiency. The EXTVCC pin permits
the LTC3895 to be powered from the output of the switch-
ing regulator or other available source, reducing power
dissipation and improving efficiency.
A mode selector allows the DC2117A to operate in forced
continuous operation, pulse-skipping or low ripple Burst
Mode

operation during light loads. Additional features
include a power good output signal, a PLLIN, PHASEMD
and CLKOUT for multiphase operation.
The LTC3895 data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and application information and must
be read in conjunction with this demo board manual.
Design files for this circuit board are available at

Specifications are at TA= 25°C

PARAMETER CONDITIONS UNITS
Input Voltage Range DC Up to 150VPK Transient 14V ~ 130V
Output Voltage VOUT VIN = 14~130V, IOUT = 0~5A, JP4: FCM 12V ± 2% (11.76V ~ 12.24V)
Maximum Output Current IOUT(MAX) VIN = 14~130V 5A
Default Operating Frequency (Typical) 150kHz
External Clock Sync Frequency Range 75kHz to 850kHz
Typical Full Load Efficiency (See Figure 4) VIN = 48V, VOUT = 12V, IOUT = 5A, fSW = 150kHz 94.9%
*Important Note: 60V or higher voltage can result in an electric shock if care is not taken. Also, hot plugging the circuit to a power supply that has more
than 40V present at its output can produce a high voltage transient exceeding the absolute maximum input voltage which can damage the DC2117A
board.

DEMO MANUAL DC2117A
Quick start proceDure
Demonstration circuit DC2117A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LTC3895EFE. Refer to Figure 1
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 or directly across relevant
capacitor. See Figure 2 for proper scope probe technique.
1. Place jumpers in the following positions:
JP1 ON
JP4 FCM
JP5 ON
JP8 OFF
2. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
and GND.
3. Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE. Make sure that the input voltage is higher than
14V and does not exceed 130V.
4. Check the output voltage. The output voltage should
be between 11.76V and 12.24V.
Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust
the load within the operating range and observe the
output voltage regulation, output voltage ripple,
efficiency and other parameters.
NOTE. If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the
load to make sure that the load is not set too high.

Demonstration circuit 2117A’s mode selector allows the
converter to run in forced continuous operation, pulse-
skipping operation, Burst Mode operation or Burst Mode
operation with adjustable clamp level by changing the
position of JP4. To synchronize the DC2117A to an external
clock, apply the sync signal to the PLLIN turret. Depending
upon the JP4 setting, the DC2117A will operate in different
modes. See Table 2 for the detailed description.

Demonstration circuit 2117A features 100% duty cycle
operation in dropout. Set the JP5 to ON position to activate
this feature. Set JP5 to OFF position disables the internal
charge pump and enables boost refresh, allowing for 99%
duty cycle operation in dropout.

DEMO MANUAL DC2117A
optional inDuctor Dcr current sensing
low Quiescent current applications anD measurement
Demonstration circuit 2117A provides an optional circuit
for inductor DCR current sensing. Inductor DCR current
sensing uses the DCR of the inductor to sense the inductor
current instead of discrete sense resistors. Theadvantages
of DCR sensing are lower cost, reduced board space and
higher efficiency, but the disadvantage is a less accurate
current limit. If DCR sensing is used, be sure to select an
inductor current with a sufficiently high saturation current
or use an iron powder type material.
Refer to Table 3 for optional inductor DCR current sensing
setup and to the data sheet for more details.

Thetypical quiescentcurrent(IQ) ofthe LTC3895controller
is 40µA in sleep mode as specified in the LTC3895 data
sheet. However, the input current of the DC2117A board
can be higher than this value because of additional circuit

value FB divider resistors shouldbe used. In addition,some
jumpers and resistors should be configured accordingly.
Refer to Table 4 for the low input quiescent current setup.

eXtVcc Bias supply
By default, the DC2117A EXTVCC turret is tied to the 12V
VOUT to save IC power loss.
To power the EXTVCC from onboard bias supply:
1. Leave the JP7 OPEN. This step disconnects the EXTVCC
from VOUT.
2. Keep the JP8 at the ON position. The onboard BIAS
supply output voltage is 12V.
Alternatively, EXTVCC can also be powered by an external
power supply:
1. Leave the JP7 OPEN.
2. Keep the JP8 at the OFF position.
3. Apply a DC voltage (<14V) between the EXTVCC and
GND turret, after the input voltage is established. Ensure
that EXTVCC ≤ VIN.
