DC1248A - LT3509EDE Demo Board | 6.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 36V (60V Transients), Vout1 = 5V @ 0.7A, Vout2 = 3.3V @ 0.7A

Demonstration circuit 1248 is a dual monolithic buck regulator featuring the LT3509. The demo circuit is designed for 5V@700mA and 3.3V@700mA output from a 6.5V to 36V input. The input voltage can go up to 60V without damaging the part. The switching frequency can be set from 300kHz to 2.2MHz by a single external resistor, and it is synchronizable over the full range. The power switches, the compensation components and the boost diodes are all integrated into the silicon. The shutdown and soft start function is independent for each channel. The current mode control scheme creates fast transient response and good loop stability. The part has overvoltage lockout, cycle by cycle current limit and thermal shutdown. DA pin can further protect the silicon under fault conditions by sensing the diode current.
