DEMO MANUAL DC2297A LT8570, LT8570-1 Boost/SEPIC/Inverting Regulator DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuits 2297A-A and 2297A-B feature the The LT8570 and LT8570-1 include many other features LT 8570 and LT8570-1 in a boost configuration. These such as synchronization to external clock, user configurable demo circuits demonstrate small size and low component undervoltage lockout, soft-start, frequency foldback, and count. Both converters are designed to convert a 5V to other features that are easily configured as Boost, SEPIC 10V source to 12V. Refer to Figures 3 and 4 for maximum or Inverting Converters. load current at different input voltage levels. The data sheet gives a complete description of the device, Both converters use only one feedback resistor to set the operation and application information. The data sheet must output voltage. be read in conjunction with this demo manual for DC2297A.
