DESCRIPTION

LTM4627EV:

15A Step-Down µModule

Regulator

Demonstration circuit 1669A features the LTM

4627EV

μModule

regulator, a high performance high efﬁciency

step-down regulator. The LTM4627EV has an operating

input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V and is able to provide

an output current of up to 15A. The output voltage is pro-

grammable from 0.6V to 5V and can be remotely sensed

with the internal optional differential remote sensing

ampliﬁer. The LTM4627EV is a complete DC/DC point-of-

load regulator in a thermally enhanced 15mm ×15mm ×

4.32mmLGApackagerequiringonlyafewinputandoutput

capacitors. This regulator is internally compensated and

employs constant frequency current mode architecture,

enabling a fast transient response and stable control

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

loop over a wide range of output capacitance. It supports

frequency synchronization and Burst Mode

operation for

increased light-load efﬁciency. Output voltage tracking

is also available through the TRACK/SS pin for supply

rail sequencing. The LTM4627 data sheet must be read

in conjunction with this demo manual for working on or

modifying demo circuit 1669.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure 1. Test Setup of DC1669A

Demonstration circuit 1669 is easy to set up to evaluate the

performance of the LTM4627EV. Please refer to Figure 1

for test setup connections and follow the procedure below.

1. With power off, place the jumpers in the following

positions for a typical 1.8Vout application:

JP1 JP2 JP3 JP4

TRACK/SS RUN MODE VOUT Select

SOFTSTART ON CCM 1.8V

2. Before connecting input supply, load and meters, preset

the input voltage supply to be less than 20V. Preset the

load current to 0A.

3. With power off, connect the load, input voltage supply

and meters as shown in Figure 1.

4. Turn on input power supply. The output voltage meter

should display the selected output voltage ± 2%.

5. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust

the load current within the 0A to 15A range and observe

the load regulation, efﬁciency and other parameters.

Output voltage ripple should be measured at J4 with a

BNC cable and oscilloscope.

6. To observe increased light load efﬁciency place the

Mode pin jumper (JP3) in the Burst Mode position. To

observe increased light load efﬁciency with a reduced

output ripple ascomparedto Burst Modeoperation place

the MODE pin jumper in the pulse-skipping position.

7. For optional load transient testing apply an adjustable

positive pulse signal between IOSTEP CLK and GND

pins. The pulse amplitude sets the load step current

amplitude. The pulse width should be short (<1μs)

and pulse duty cycle should be low (<15%) to limit the

thermal stress on the load transient circuit. The load

step current can be monitored with a BNC connected

to J3 (15mV/A).

Note:

To set the output voltage to 5V turn off the input supply

power, apply the following changes listed below.
