Input voltage14-56 V
Output 112 V / 70 A

Description

Demonstration circuit 2331A-A/2331A-B is a 4-phaseDC/DC expander with internal gate drivers for buck converters that features the LT®8550. The demonstration circuit expands (increases) the number of power sections for a LT3763 60V step-down controller to provide higher output power. The increased number of power sections allowed by the LT8550 results in more available output power without a corresponding increase in the difficulty of the design or a sacrifice of LT3763 features. The demo board uses the multi-chip (master-slave) feature of the LT8550 so the total number of power sections can be increased in four power section increments:• DC2331A-A has one power section for the LT3763 primary controller and an additional four power sectionsfor its LT8550 which is configured as a master• DC2331A-B does not have a primary controller, andits LT8550 is configured as a slave with four powersections
