DESCRIPTION

Dual Power Supply Monitor

and Margining Controller with LTC3828

Dual DC/DC Supply

TheDC980AandDC980Bareademonstrationsystemthat

showcasestheLTC2970,adualpowersupplymonitor and

margining controller with an I2C interface. The DC980A

board contains the LTC2970 device and the DC980B

board contains the LTC3828 dual DC/DC controller. The

two boards interface to each other via a 20-pin connec-

tor. The DC980B board features the LTC3828 dual output,

2-phase synchronous buck regulator. The LTC2970’s

two voltage-buffered, 8-bit IDACs allow highly accurate

margining of the LTC3828’s output voltages. The IDACs

can be configured to automatically servo the power sup-

plies to a desired voltage using the ADC for feedback. The

DC980B comes preconfigured with 3.3V and 5V power

supply rail voltages.

The LTC2970’s low drift reference and 14-bit ∆∑ A/D

converter allow precise measurements of two power sup-

ply output voltages and load currents. Fault management

allows ALERTB to be asserted for configurable over- and

undervoltage fault conditions.

This demonstration system is supported by the

LTpowerPlay™graphicaluserinterface(GUI)whichenables

completecontrolof all thefeaturesof the device.Together,

theLTpowerPlaysoftwareand DC980A/DC980B hardware

system create a powerful development environment for

designing and testing hardware configurations for the

LTC2970.ThesoftwaredisplaystheLTC2970featuresand

provides real time measurements from the device’s ADC

and status registers. Telemetry also allows easy access

of the fault status created by the LTC2970.

The LTC2970 features may be evaluated with the LTC3828

based power supplies, or alternatively the DC980B board

may be removed and DC980A can then be connected to

an external power supply circuit.

The DC980B demo board is powered by an external 8V

to 15V power supply. To power the DC980A demo board,

you have two choices. It may be powered from either the

DC590 USB-to-I2C controller or from the DC980B board

using an external jumper wire. Communication with the

software is provided through the DC590 USB-to-I2C con-

troller. The following is a checklist of items which can be

obtained from the LTC website or LTC field sales.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

The following list contain terms used throughout the

document.

Channel: The collection of functions that monitor, super-

vise, and trim a given power supply rail.

Margin: Term used typically in board level testing that

increases/decreases the output voltage to look for sensi-

tivity/marginality problems.

Monitor: The act of measuring voltage, current, and tem-

perature readings.

Rail: The final output voltage that the power supply con-

troller manages.

Supervise: The act of quickly responding (warning or

faulting) to a voltage or current condition that is compared

to preprogrammed values.

Trim: The act of adjusting the final output voltage. A servo

loop is typically used to trim the voltage.

Notes:

1. Load current < 5A is recommended.

2. Output voltages can be margined by ±10% from nominal with the default resistor values. These values may be changed

to create output voltages other than 5V and 3.3V. Use the Resistor Selection Tool which is accessed from LTpowerPlay.

The LTC3828’s feedback node voltage is 0.8V.

LTpowerPlay GUI SOFTWARE

LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows-based tool that sup-

ports Linear Technology products, including the LTC2970

dual power supply monitor and margining controller. You

can use LTpowerPlay to evaluate Linear Technology ICs by

connecting to a demo board system. LTpowerPlay utilizes

the DC590 USB I2C/serial controller to communicate with

one of many potential targets, including the DC980A/B

demo system or a customer board. The software also

provides an automatic update feature to keep the software

currentwiththelatestsetofdevicedriversanddocumenta-

tion. The LTpowerPlay software can be downloaded from:

QUICK START PROCEDURE

6 .Connect the USB cable from the host computer to the DC590. Launch LTpowerPlay. The software automati-

cally identifies the DC980A and builds a system tree for the LTC2970. The GUI should appear as that shown in

Figure 1.

a. Load default configuration into the LTC2970. From the pull-down menu select Demo > Demo Config.

b. Check for the LTC3828 output voltages by clicking on CHO_A_ADC_LTC2970 or CH1_A_ADC_LTC2970.

ALTERNATE DC980A POWERING METHOD

The DC980A board may be powered from the input supply

that powers the DC980B board. This configuration allows

the LTC2970 to make a direct reading of VIN and display

the readback value in the V12_ADC_LTC2970 register in

LTpowerPlay. It requires an external jumper wire. Ensure

thatallpowerisremovedfrombothboards.OntheDC980A

board, move jumper JP7 to the LOCAL position. Place a

jumper wire between the VIN turret of the DC980B and

the 12VIN turret of the DC980A. Note that the LTC2970’s

voltage range is 8V to 15V. Ensure that the DC980B is

The 12V telemetry register and plot should look like this:
