Step Description Notes
1 Connect a power supply to VIN terminals V
IN
range: 8V to 42V
2 Connect a load to VOUT terminals I
OUT
range: 0A to 2.5A
3 SD (JP1) should be left open for normal operation. Short this jumper to shutdown
4 Set V
IN
= 18V, with 0A load applied, check V
OUT
with a voltmeter Nominal 3.3V
5 Apply 2.5A load and check V
OUT
Nominal 3.3V
6 Short output terminals and check the short circuit current with an ammeter Nominal 2.95A
7 Short SD (JP1) to check the shutdown function

5 Design Procedure
The LM3102 is easy to use compared with other devices available on the market because it integrates all
key components, including both the main and synchronous power MOSFETs, in a single package and
requires no loop compensation owing to the use of the Constant On-Time (COT) hysteretic control
scheme. The design of the demonstration board is detailed below.
