DEMO MANUAL 

DC2155A-A/DC2155A-B

Rev. C

DESCRIPTION

LTC3886/LTC3870 

60V Dual Output Step-Down DC/DC Controller 

with Digital Power System Management

Demonstration circuit 2155A is available in two configura-

tions. The DC2155A-A is a dual output synchronous step-

down converter featuring the 

LTC

®

3886

, a dual-phase 

current mode controller. The DC2155A-B is a single output 

synchronous step-down converter that operates with four 

phases: two from the LTC3886 and two from LTC3870, 

a phase extender. Both versions have a PMBus interface 

and digital power system management functions.
The DC2155A uses discrete MOSFETs in the power stage. 

The input range of this board is from 18V to 54V. The out-

put voltage can be programmed from 5V to 12V with an 

output current of up to 12A per phase. For the DC2155A-A 

version, the factory default setting for the CH0 output is 

12V and CH1 output is 5V. In addition, this demo board 

has an on-board dynamic load circuit, which makes it easy 

to evaluate the transient performances.
The DC2155A powers up to default settings and produces 

power based on configuration resistors or its program file 

loaded within its onboard EEPROM without the need for 

any serial bus communication. This allows easy evaluation 

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

of the DC/DC converter aspects of the LTC3886. To fully 

explore the extensive power system management features 

of the parts, download the GUI software LTpowerPlay

C/SMBus/PMBus Dongle 

DC1613A to connect to the board.  LTpowerPlay allows 

the user to reconfigure the part on the fly and store the 

configuration in EEPROM, view telemetry of voltage, cur-

rent, temperature and fault status.
