Evaluation board EVAL-LT8376-AZ is a 60V, 2A synchronous Buck LED driver featuring the LT8376. EVAL-LT8376-AZ drives a single string of LEDs up to 36V at 1.5A when VIN is between 43V and 57V. EVAL-LT8376-AZ has an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) set at 40V with 2V hysteresis for turn-on. EVAL-LT8376-AZ runs at 350kHz switching frequency and features optional spread spectrum modulation (SSFM). With SSFM enabled, LT8376 modulates its switching frequency from fSW to fSW + 25% to reduce EMI emissions. The LT8376 has an input voltage range of 3.6V to 60V. LT8376 has internal, synchronous 60V switches for high efficiency and small size. LT8376 has an adjustable switching frequency between 200kHz and 2MHz. The LT8376 can be synchronized with an external clock source or configured with SSFM enabled for low EMI. EVAL-LT8376-AZ includes a SYNC/SSFM jumper to configure the LT8376 for either external frequency synchronization, SSFM enabled for low EMI, or set to normal operation with SSFM disabled. The LT8376’s integrated PWMTG high-side PMOS driver assists with PWM dimming of the connected LEDs. The LED string can be PWM dimmed for accurate brightness control with an externally generated PWM signal or an internally-generated PWM signal. EVAL-LT8376-AZ has jumpers that can be set to switch between internally-generated PWM signal, externally generated PWM signal, and 100% on with no PWM signal. The LT8376 can also be analog dimmed by placing a controllable DC voltage on the CTRL pin. When running PWM dimming with SSFM enabled, the SSFM aligns itself with the PWM signal for flicker-free operation of the LED string. This applies to both internal and external PWM dimming. Small ceramic input and output capacitors are used to save space and cost. The input and output filters on EVAL-LT8376-AZ reduce its EMI. The filters consist of a small ferrite bead or inductor and high frequency ceramic capacitors. These filters, combined with proper board layout and SSFM, are very effective in reducing EMI to comply with CISPR25 class 5 limits. Please follow the recommended layout and the four-layer PCB thickness of EVAL-LT8376-AZ. For best efficiency and PWM dimming performance, the EMI filters at the input and output can be removed. The open LED overvoltage protection (OVP) uses the IC’s constant voltage regulation loop to regulate the output to approximately 41V if the LED string is opened. The output current can be monitored through the ISMON pin. Also, the FAULT pin can be used for open and short detection. The input undervoltage lockout (UVLO), LED current, output overvoltage protection (OVP), and switching frequency, can all be easy adjusted with simple modifications to EVAL-LT8376-AZ. The LT8376 data sheet gives a complete description of the device, operation, and applications information. The data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual for evaluation board EVAL-LT8376-AZ. The LT8376RV is assembled in a 28-lead plastic LQFN package with a thermally enhanced exposed ground pad. Proper board layout is essential for maximum performance.

The LTC1682/LTC1682-3.3/LTC1682-5 are doubler charge pumps with an internal low noise, low dropout (LDO) linear regulator. These parts are designed to provide a low noise boosted supply voltage for powering noise sensitive devices such as high frequency VCOs in wireless applications.An internal doubler charge pump converts a 1.8V to 4.4V input to a boosted output, while the internal LDO regulator converts the boosted voltage to a low noise regulated output. The adjustable version allows the user to set VOUT via external resistors connected to FB. The regulator is capable of supplying up to 50mA of output current. Shutdown reduces the supply current to < 5?A, removes the load from VIN by disabling the regulator and discharges VOUT to ground through a 100? switch.The LTC1682 LDO regulator is stable with only 2?F on the output.

The LT8672 is an active rectifier controller for reverse input protection. It drives an external N-channel MOSFET to replace a power Schottky diode. Its very low quiescent current and fast transient response meet the tough requirements in automotive applications where AC input signals of up to 100kHz are present. These signals are rectified with minimum power dissipation on the external FET, simplifying thermal management on the PCB.With a drop of only 20mV, the LT8672 solution eases the minimum input voltage requirement during cold crank and start-stop, allowing simpler and more efficient circuits. If the input power source fails or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse current transients. An available shutdown mode reduces the quiescent current to 3.5?A.An integrated auxiliary boost regulator provides the required boost voltage to turn the external FET fully on. A power good pin signals when the external FET is ready to take load current.Applications Automotive Battery Protection Industrial Supplies Portable Instrumentation

The LTC4381 is an integrated solution for low quiescent current eFuse with an internal 9m? N-Channel MOSFET. Overvoltage protection is provided by clamping the gate voltage of an internal 9m? N-channel MOSFET to limit the output voltage to a safe value during overvoltage events such as load dump in automobiles. The MOSFET safe operating area is production tested and guaranteed for the stresses during high voltage transients. Fixed output clamp voltages are selectable for 12V and 24V/28V systems. For systems of any voltage up to 80V, use the adjustable clamp versions.Overcurrent protection is also provided. An internal multiplier generates a TMR pin current proportional to VDS and ID, so that operating time in both overcurrent and overvoltage conditions is limited in accordance with MOSFET stress.The GATE pin can drive back-to-back MOSFETs for reverse input protection, eliminating the voltage drop and dissipation of a Schottky diode solution. A low 6?A operating current permits use in always-on and battery powered applications.APPLICATIONS Automotive 12V, 24V and 48V System Avionic/Industrial Surge Protection Hot Swap/Live Insertion High Side Switch for Battery Powered Systems Automotive Load Dump Protection
