QUICK START PROCEDURE
Using short twisted pair leads for any power connec-
tions and with all loads and power supplies off, refer
to Figure 1 for the proper measurement and equip-
ment setup.
1. Jumper and Load Settings to start:
JP1 (RUN) = SHDN
JP2 (VOUT SELECT) = 5.3V
JP3 (Iin LIMIT) = 30mA
LOAD1 = off
2. Set VIN to 3.0V and verify that the input current
is less than 10mA. Verify that VOUT is less than
3.8V indicating that the SuperCAP is in a low
charge state.
3. Set JP1 to the RUN position. Verify that the input
current is ~60mA. Verify that VOUT is less than
4.0V and that PGOOD is low.
4. Monitor PGOOD and VOUT. When PGOOD goes
high, verify that VOUT is ~5.0V.
5. Verify that VOUT is ~5.3V when the input current
drops to less than 10mA indicating a fully charged
capacitor.
6. Turn on Load1 and set to 50mA. Monitor PGOOD
and VOUT. When PGOOD goes low, verify that
VOUT is ~4.9V.
7. Set JP1 to SHDN and allow the SuperCAP to dis-
charge to 1.5V at which point Load1 will be set to
0mA and turned off.
8. Set JP3 to 150mA
9. Set JP1 to the RUN position. Verify that the input
current is ~300mA. Verify that PGOOD is low.
10. Monitor PGOOD and VOUT. When PGOOD goes
high, verify that VOUT is ~5.0V.
11. Verify that VOUT is ~5.3V when the input current
drops to less than 10mA indicating a fully charged
capacitor.
12. Turn on Load1 and set to 200mA. Monitor PGOOD
and VOUT. When PGOOD goes low, verify that
VOUT is ~4.9V.
13. Set JP1 to SHDN, increase Load1 to 500mA and
allow the SuperCAP to discharge to 1.5V at which
point Load1 will be set to 0mA and turned off.
14. Set JP2 to 4.8V
15. Set JP1 to the RUN position. Verify that the input
current is ~300mA. Verify that PGOOD is low.
16. Monitor PGOOD and VOUT. When PGOOD goes
high, verify that VOUT is ~4.55V.
17. Verify that VOUT is ~4.8V when the input current
drops to less than 10mA indicating a fully charged
capacitor.
18. Turn on Load1 and set to 200mA. Monitor PGOOD
and VOUT. When PGOOD goes low, verify that
VOUT is ~4.45V.
19. Set JP1 to SHDN, increase Load1 to 500mA and
allow the SuperCAP to discharge to 1.0V at which
point Load1 will be set to 0mA and turned off.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
This demo circuit is designed to demonstrate the full
capability of the LTC3225 Low Profile Regulated Dual
Cell SuperCAP Charger. Not all components are re-
quired in all applications. The critical circuit compo-
nents are on the top of the board near the IC and
listed in the Required Circuit Components section of
the Bill of Materials, see Figure 4.
The style and value of the input capacitors C2 and C6
controls the amount of ripple present at the input pin
(Vin). To reduce noise and ripple, it is recommended
that a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) multi-
layer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCCs) be used. A
10nH inductor between C6 and C2 will reject fast cur-
