Description

LTM4613

8A, High Voltage Power

µModule Regulator

Demonstration circuit DC1743A features the LTM

4613EV,

an EN55022 class Bcertified, high input andoutput voltage,

high efficiency, switch mode step-down power µModule

regulator. The input voltage range is from 5V to 36V. The

output voltage is jumper programmable from 3.3V to 12V

with a rated load current of 8A. Derating is necessary

for certain VIN, VOUT, frequency and thermal conditions:

please refer to LTM4613 data sheet for derating curves.

Only input and output capacitors are needed externally.

The DC1743A offers the TRACK/SS pin allowing the user

to program output tracking or soft-start period. Output

voltage margining can also be realized through jumper

position selections.

Higher efficiency at low load currents is achieved by setting

the MODE pin jumper to DCM. The PLL pin is available

to synchronize the LTM4613EV to an external clock. The

LTM4613 data sheet must be read in conjunction with

this demo manual prior to working on or modifying demo

circuit DC1743A.

qUick stArt proceDUre

Demonstration circuit DC1743A is an easy way to evalu-

ate the performance of the LTM4613EV. Please refer to

Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and

follow the procedure below:

1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical

3.3VOUT application:

MODE MARG1 MARG0 VOUT SELECT RUN

CCM LO LO 3.3V ON

2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load

and meters as shown in Figure 1. Preset the load to 0A

and VIN supply to be 0V.

3. Turn on the power at the input. Increase VIN to 12V

(do not hot-plug the input supply or apply more than

the rated maximum voltage of 36V to the board or the

part may be damaged). The output voltage should be

regulated and deliver the selected output voltage ± 2%.

4. Vary the input voltage from 5V to 36V and adjust the

load current from 0A to 8A. Observe the output voltage

regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency, and other param-

eters.

5. To measure input or output ripple, insert the scope

probe to J7 or J4.

6. For optional load transient test, applyan adjustable pulse

signal between IOSTEP_CLK and GND test points. The

pulse amplitude sets the load step current amplitude.

The pulse duty cycle should be low (< 5%) to limit the

thermal stress on the load transient circuit. The load

step current can be monitored with a BNC connected

to J3 (20mV/A). The output voltage can be monitored

at the probe jack J4.
