BOARD LAYOUT
The top of the board contains the core Hot Swap con-
troller and associated components, along with LEDs.
Also on top are various configuration jumpers and all
connection turrets. The large turrets may be removed
to permit installation of up to 12 gauge wire for direct,
low resistance connections to the board. None of the
turrets are swaged.
The bottom of the board contains components for
software identification of the board, provision for A to
D converter input scaling dividers, I2C line LED driv-

DESCRIPTION
Demonstration Circuit 786 showcases the
LTC
controller with I2C compatible monitoring in a 200W,
36 to 72V application. Included on board is an input
clamp and snubber, input and output voltage dividers
for UV, OV, and PWRGD, LEDs to indicate the
presence of various voltages and signals, high voltage
layout rules and turret terminals for critical signals to
facilitate evaluation in a working system.
A distinct line of demarcation runs the length of the
board, separating high voltage +48V referred
potentials from ground. Input and output connections
are made by 93 mil turrets which if removed,
accommodate insertion of up to 12 gauge wires for
in-situ testing. An I2C port designed to interface with
DC590A allows control of DC786A with LTC's Quick
Eval software.
Design files for this circuit board are available. Call
the LTC factory.

ers, and LED current limiting resistors. Also on the
bottom is the LTC4260CGN supply bypass capacitor,
C3, and space for optional input and output bypassing.
Except for C3, the other components are largely unre-
lated to the core application and are included for the
purposes of the demo board itself.
Thermal layout requirements for the FDB3632 MOSFET
are modest, as the maximum, continuous worst-case
dissipation is less than 600mW. Typical dissipation is
less than 150mW, resulting in a temperature rise of
less than 10°C.

... LTC4260 data sheet). CIRCUIT NOTES DC786A uses an 8mΩ, 5% sense resistor (R5). Cou- pled with the LTC4260's minimum current limit sense voltage threshold of 40mV, this guarantees a minimum current of 4.76A before the onset of current limiting or circuit breaker action. Thus 200W is available down to approximately 42V, dropping to ≅ ...
