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.
