Demonstration circuit 614 is a monolithic step-down DC/DC switching converter featuring the LT®3434. The board is optimized for 3.3V output at up to 2A load current (the LTC3434 is a 3A capable device) for a steady state input voltage range of 4V to about 42V with input transients up to 60V. Minimum on-time restrictions and the 3.3V output may limit the steady state maximum input voltage to 42V before pulse skipping occurs.
