DC2244A

The DC2244A from Linear Technology is a demonstration circuit 2244A. It features the LTM8049, a dual SEPIC or inverting µModule regulator. The demo circuit is configured as two stand alone DC to DC converters with +12V and -12V output voltages from an input voltage up to 20V. The switching frequencies of both channels are set at 1MHz on DC2244A. The frequency fold backs when the output is 15% below the target regulation point during a fault or output overload, thus protects the power switch from damage. Both channels can be configured as either SEPIC or inverting by simply grounding the appropriate output rail, component change and/or PCB board cut. The maximum output current of each channel varies with the input voltage and is 1A at 12VIN. The two channels can be paralleled for higher output current with SHARE1, SHARE2 pins tied together.

• Input supply range from 2.8V to 18V
• Efficiency of channel 1 is 82% and efficiency of channel 2 is 81%
