Description

LTM4616

Dual 2.7VIN(MIN), 8A Step-Down

µModule Regulator

Demonstration circuit 1245A features the LT M

4616, the

high efficiency, high density, dual output switch mode

power module. The rated load current is 8A for each chan-

nel, while derating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT, and

thermal conditions. By applying a clock signal to the CLKIN

pin, the module’s switchingfrequency may besynchronized

from 0.75MHz to 2.25MHz. The same clock frequency is

available at the CLKOUT pin with the phase relationship

between CLKIN and CLKOUT determined by the PHMODE

pin. This feature can be used notonly to reduce undesirable

frequency harmonics but also to parallel the two channels

of LTM4616 or even multiple LTM4616s and LTM4608s to

provide higher output currents. The LTM4616 data sheet

must be read in conjunction with this demo manual prior

to working on or modifying demo circuit DC1245A.

DEMO MANUAL DC1245A

qUick stArt proceDUre

Demonstration circuit 1245A is an easy way to evaluate

the performance of the LTM4616. 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

1.8VOUT and 1.2VOUT application:

PHMODE2 MARGINING2 RUN2 MARGINING1

2PH NO ON NO

TRACK1 PHMODE1 MODE RUN1

DISABLED 2PH BURST 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 within the 2.7V to 5.5V operating range.

3. Turn on the power at the input. The output voltage at

VO1+and VO1–should be 1.8V ±2% and the voltage

at VO2+and VO2–should be 1.2V ±2%.

4. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust

the load within the operating range and observe the

output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and

other parameters. To measure input and output ripple,

please refer to Figure 2 for proper setup.

5. To synchronize channel 1 to an external clock, please

apply the desired clock signal to CLKIN and SGND1.

The external clock signal should have amplitude of at

least 2V but less than VIN.

6. VOUT1 can track another supply connected at TP20 as

determined by resistors R6 and R17. VOUT2 is set up

to track VOUT1 in a manner determined by resistors

R15 and R16. By default both resistor pairs have been

selected to support coincident tracking. Please refer to

Figure 6 for reference.
