This demonstration board is easily set up to evaluate the
performance of the LTC1877 or LTC1878 IC. Please
follow the procedure outlined below for proper opera-
tion.
• Refer to Figure 5 for proper connection of monitoring
equipment to ensure correct measurement.
• Connect the input power supply to the V
IN
and GND
terminals on the left-hand side of the board. Do not
increase V
IN
over its rated maximum supply voltage or
the part will be damaged. For the LTC1877 the maxi-
mum V
IN
is 10V and for the LTC1878 the maximum
V
IN
is 6V.
• Connect the load between the V
OUT
and GND terminals
on the right side of the board.
• Select the desired operating mode using JP1 and JP2,
as shown in Table 1. JP1 connects SYNC/MODE to
GND in the upper position, and connects it to V
IN
in the
lower position. JP2 connects RUN to GND in the upper
position, and connects it to V
IN
in the lower position.
If a signal is applied at RUN (E1) or SYNC/MODE (E7),
then jumper JP1 or JP2, respectively, must be re-
moved.
• Set the desired output voltage with jumper JP3 as
shown in Figure 2.
