dc3043a DC3043A LTC3310-1 Demo Board | 3.3V to 1.0V at 10A, 2MHz Automotive Low EMI Buck Regulator in a 2.11cm2 Solution Demonstration Circuit 3043A shows the LTC3310-1 10A, 1V fixed output, synchronous step-down Silent Switcher? operating as a 2MHz 3.3V to 1.0V 10A buck regulator. The LTC3310-1 supports operating frequencies from 500kHz up to 5MHz. The LTC3310-1 is a compact, ultralow emission, high efficiency, and high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator. The LTC3310-1 has Active Voltage Positioning (AVP) where the output voltage is dependent on load current. At light loads the output voltage is regulated above the nominal value. At full load the output voltage is regulated below the nominal value. The DC load regulation is adjusted to improve transient performance and reduce output capacitor requirements. DC3043A is set up to run in forced continuous mode with a 2MHz switching frequency but can be configured to pulse skip mode and different switching frequencies. RT is connected to VIN which sets the MODE/SYNC pin as an input and allows the LTC3310-1 to sync from an external clock. Connecting the MODE/SYNC pin to VIN sets the mode to pulse skip mode and connecting the MODE/SYNC pin to GND sets the mode to forced continuous mode. The DC3043A also has an EMI filter to reduce conducted EMI. This EMI filter can be included by applying the input voltage at the VIN EMI terminal. The EMI performance of the board is shown in the EMI TEST RESULTS section. The red lines in the EMI performance graphs illustrate the CISPR25 Class 5 peak limits for the conducted and radiated emission tests. The LTC3310S/LTC3310-1 data sheet gives a complete description of the part, operation and application information. The data sheet must be read in conjunction with the demo manual. The LTC3310-1 is assembled in a 3mm × 3mm LQFN package with exposed pad for low thermal resistance. The layout recommendations for low EMI operation and maximum thermal performance are available in the data sheet section Low EMI PCB Layout. DC3043A
