DEMO MANUAL DC1900A

Quick start proceDure

Demonstration circuit 1900A is an easy way to  evaluate the 

performance of the LTM4644EY. Please refer to Figure 1 

for test setup connections and follow the procedure below.  
1. With  power  off,  place  the  jumpers  in  the  following 

positions:

JP1

JP2

JP3

2. Before  connecting  input  supply,  loads  and  meters, 

preset the input voltage supply to be between 4.5V to 

14V. Preset the load currents to 0A. 

3. With power off, connect the loads, input voltage supply 

and meters as shown in Figure 1. 

4. Turn on input power supply. The output voltage meters 

for each phase should display the programmed output 

voltage within ± 2%. 

5. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust 

the load currents for each phase within the 0A to 4A 

range and observe the load regulation, efficiency, and 

other parameters. 

6. To observe increased light load efficiency place a Mode 

pin jumper (JP5-JP8) in the DCM Mode position. 

  Note: Optional jumper positions are available on the 

DC1900A to allow for easy setup to evaluate parallel 

operation of the LTM4644. For example, to parallel all 

4 outputs of the LTM4644 together stuff 0Ω jumpers  

for R32-R46.
