Single/Dual Power Supply
Margining Controller
The LTC
®
2920 allows power supplies and power supply
module output voltages to be precisely adjusted both up
and down for automated PCB testing. The power supply
output voltage is changed by sourcing or sinking current
into the feedback node or voltage adjust pin of the power
supply. This allows a system to test the correct operation
of electrical components at the upper and/or lower power
supply voltage limits specified for a given design (Power
Supply “Margining”).
The LTC2920 uses a single resistor to set the voltage
margining current. The margining current is adjustable
over a 400:1 range. Precision margin currents can be
supplied to within 0.6V of ground or V
CC
.
The LTC2920-1 is a single margining controller. The
LTC2920-2 has two independently controllable margining
channels. Each channel has its own control pin and current
setting resistor. The LTC2920-2 can be used to symmetri-
cally margin two power supplies, or asymmetrically mar-
gin a single power supply.
Both the LTC2920-1 and LTC2920-2 feature a trimmed on-
board voltage reference. Typical power supply margining
accuracy is better than 0.4%.
