About this manual

This guide provides setup instructions for evaluating the LTC3851EGN synchronous buck converter in demonstration circuit 1171A. It covers input voltage range (4.5V–14V), output voltage (1.5V ±2%), switching frequency (400kHz), and efficiency (up to 90%). Two board versions are available: A with onboard sense resistor and B using inductor DCR for sensing. The guide includes steps for measurement setup, mode selection (CCM, pulse skip, Burst Mode), and tracking options. Efficiency curves and thermal images are provided for reference.
