Demonstration circuit 2089A is a high current, high efficiency, poly-phase synchronous buck converter featuring the LTC3880EUJ, a dual-phase current mode controller, and the LTC3870EUFD, a dual-phase slave controller. The LTC3880 has the PMBus interface and power system management functions.

The input range of this board is from 7V to 14V, and the output voltage can be programmed from 0.8V to 1.8V. The output current is up to 80A for 4-phase operation. The DC2089A has two versions, the DC2089A-A uses a current sense resistor, while the DC2089A–B has DCR current sensing. The factory default setting for the output voltage is 1.0V.

You can use a PC to reconfigure the power management features of the LTC3880 such as: nominal V_OUT, margin set points, OV/UV limits, temperature fault limits, sequencing parameters, the fault log, fault responses, GPIO and other functionality.

Demonstration circuit 1590B is a dual output synchronous buck converter featuring the LTC3880EUJ, a dual output peak current mode controller with digital power system management. There are two versions of the board available: DC1590B-A senses the output current across a sense resistor and has a default switching frequency of 350kHz, and DC1590B-B senses output current with the inductor DCR and has a default switching frequency of 425kHz. Either version can be populated with the LTC3880EUJ-1 (which allows the user to provide bias power to the IC from an external power supply) instead of the LTC3880EUJ. These boards provide two programmable outputs of 20A each. The factory default settings are 1.8V for each output.
