Demonstration circuit 2838A features the LT8365 in a boost configuration. It operates with a switching frequency of 400kHz and is designed to convert a 9V to 30V source to 250V, with 10mA output current.

The LTC3413 is a high efficiency monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant frequency, current mode architecture. It operates from an input voltage range of 2.25V to 5.5V and provides a regulated output voltage equal to (0.5)VREF while sourcing or sinking up to 3A of output current.

The internal synchronous power switch with 85m? on-resistance increases efficiency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Switching frequencies up to 2MHz are set by an external resistor.Forced-continuous operation in the LTC3413 reduces noise and RF interference. Fault protection is provided by an overcurrent comparator that limits output current during both sourcing and sinking operations. Adjustable compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of loads and output capacitors.Applications Bus Termination: DDR and QDR? Memory, SSTL, HSTL, ...
