The DC1737A demonstration board is a current mode inverting DC to DC converter featuring LTC3863 device. The LTC3863 is a robust, inverting DC to DC PMOS controller. It drives a P channel power MOSFET to generate a negative output and requires just a single inductor to complete the circuit. The board operates from an input range of 4.5V to 16V and provides a -5.2V, 1.7A output or a -12V, 1A output (jumper selectable). It operates at 400KHz and may be synchronized to an external clock. A soft start feature controls output voltage slew rate at start up, reducing current surge and voltage overshoot. Burst mode operation that improves efficiency at light loads can be enabled with a jumper. A power good output signal is provided. The demonstration board has options for larger MOSFET and diode packages on the back of the board for higher output current requirements.
