DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 968A-B is isolated input to high
current output 1/8th Brick footprint converter featur-
ing the LT®1952 switching controller. The DC968
converts isolated 18V to 36V input to 5V output and
provides over 20A of output current. The converter
operates at 300kHz with efficiency greater than 93%.
The DC968 can be easily modified to generate output
voltages in the range from 0.6V to 28V. The output
currents are limited by total output power of up to
200W. The other available versions of DC968A are:
DC968A-A 36-75Vin to 3.3V@30A
DC968A-C 36-75Vin to 12V@12A
DC968A-D 36-75Vin to 28V@4A
Also, the DC968 can be modified for other input volt-
ages like 8V-36V, 18V-75V, 44V-52V, and so on. The
wider input voltage range will decrease the converter
efficiency. Therefore, narrow input voltage range will
be more desirable.
The DC968 circuit features soft-start which prevents
output voltage overshoot on startup or when recover-
ing from overload condition.
The DC968 has precise over-current protection circuit
that allows for continuous operation under short cir-
cuit conditions. The low power dissipation under
short circuit conditions insures high reliability even
during short circuits.
The LT1952 can be synchronized to an external clock
of up to 400kHz. Please refer to LT1952 data sheet for
design details and applications information.
Design files for this circuit board are available. Call
the LTC factory.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 968 is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of LT1952 circuit. Refer to Fig-
ure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow the procedure below:
NOTE:
When measuring the input or output voltage
ripple, care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead
on the oscilloscope probe. Measure the input or out-
put voltage ripple by touching the probe tip directly
across the Vin or Vout and GND terminals. See Figure
2. for proper scope probe technique.
1.
With power off, connect the input power supply to
Vin and GND. Make sure that the input power sup-
ply has sufficient current rating at minimum input
voltage for the required output load.
2.
Turn on the power at the input.

NOTE:
Make sure that the input voltage does not
exceed 40V.
3.
Check for the proper output voltage.
Vout = 5V.
If there is no output, temporarily disconnect the
load to make sure that the load is not set too high.
4.
Once the proper output voltage is established, ad-
just the load within the operating range and ob-
serve the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage,
efficiency and other parameters.
5.
The DC968 is equipped with an output capacitor
CSYS (470uF) that approximates typical system
rail capacitance. If system board already has ca-
pacitance of similar value CSYS can be removed.

CHANGING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
To set the output voltage lower than 5V, change the
bottom voltage divider resistor connected to
LT4430 FB pin (see the simplified schematic on
page 5). For example, to get 2.5V output, change
R38 resistor value to 43.2k. However, keep in mind
that changing the transformer as well may increase
the efficiency.
To get higher than 5V output voltages transformer
with higher turns ratio may be required. Also, out-
put MOSFETs with higher voltage ratings may be
required. Please contact LTC factory for details.
PRIMARY MOSFET DRIVER LTC4440
The DC968 has an LTC4440 MOSFET driver U2. The
LTC4440 can be disabled if the efficiency is not im-
portant. If U2 is disabled, the DELAY pin of LT1952
should be readjusted to optimize the efficiency.
Please contact LT factory for assistance.
OPTIONAL RESET CIRCUIT
The DC968 is equipped with an optional active reset
circuit that is disabled on DC968A-B. In most appli-
cations the circuit is not required because there is
no benefit from active reset. However, if the active
reset is required, adding few resistors can enable
the circuit. Please consult LT factory for assistance.

OUTPUT LOAD STEP RESPONSE
The load step response of DC968A-B is very fast
even though relatively small amount of output ca-
pacitance is present (200uF ceramic and 470uF
electrolytic). This is thanks to fast error amplifier of
LT4430, optimal amount of current slope compen-
sation of LT1952, fast opto coupler and fast error
amplifier of LT1952. If higher load steps need to be
handled more output capacitance can be added in
order to keep the voltage transients at the desired
level. The load step transients are shown in Figure
4.

perior to many competing power modules without
the additional output capacitors.
SOFT START FUNCTION
The DC968 features LT4430 opto coupler driver that
has soft start function which produces monotonic
startup ramp shown if Figure 5. The rise time of
output voltage is controlled by capacitor C19 that is
connected to OC (overshoot control) pin of LT4430.
Figure 5. The LT4430 opto coupler driver pro-
duces monotonic output voltage rise at startup
without output voltage overshoot.
DEBUGGING AND TESTING
The DC968 can easily be tested and debugged by
powering the bias circuit separately from the main
power circuit. To place DC968 into debug mode re-
move the resistor R1 and connect 48V, 100mA
power source to +Vb node (right side of R1). By
doing this, the primary PWM controller LT1952 can
be activated without the main primary power being
applied to +Vin.
To activate the secondary side MOSFET driver
(LTC3900) diode OR a 10V, 100mA power source
into collector of Q9.
Once the primary and secondary controllers are
running the MOSFET gate timing can be checked.
If the MOSFET gate timing is correct the main
power input can be applied to +Vin. The delay from
turn on of FG and gate of Q1 should be in the range
from -100ns to +100ns. By slowly increasing the
+Vin from 0V to 48V output voltage and input cur-
rent can be monitored. The input current should not
exceed 100mA without the output load. If one of the
MOSFETs is damaged, the input current will exceed
100mA.
