DEMO MANUAL DC1367A

DESCRIPTION

LTM4615EV:

Dual DC/DC Step-Down

µModule Regulator with LDO

Demonstration circuit 1367A features the LTM

4615EV, a

triple output μModule

regulator consisting of two switch

mode outputs and one LDO output. Each LTM4615 DC/DC

converter has aseparate input andenable pin. TheLTM4615

maximum load current is 4A for each switch mode channel

and 1.5A for the VLDO™ channel. However the DC1367A

is configured with the LDO input supply connected to

the VOUT2 whose maximum output current decreases

accordingly. Derating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT

L, LT, LTC, LTM, μModule, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks

and VLDO is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the

DEMO MANUAL DC1367A

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure 1. Test Setup of DC1367A

Figure 2. Proper Scope Probe Placement for Measuring

Input or Output Ripple

Demonstration circuit 1367A is an easy way to evaluate

the performance of the LTM4615. 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

1.8V, 1.2V and 1.0V application:

TRACK1 RUN1 RUN2

DISABLED ON ON

2. With power off, preset the loads to 0A and VIN supply

to be 5V. Connect the input power supply, load and

meters as shown in Figure 1.

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

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

voltage between VO2+ and VO2– should be 1.2V ± 2%,

and the voltage between VO3(LDO) and GND should be

1.0V ±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. VOUT1 can track another supply by connecting TP14,

TRACK to the supply rail and setting JP1 to ENABLED.

When R8 equalsRSET1, VOUT1 is setup for coincidental

tracking. VOUT2 is set up to coincidentally track VOUT1

as determined by resistors R6 and R7. Please refer to

the circuit schematic and data sheet.

6. VOUT2 is used as the input supply for the 1.5A LDO.

Therefore, if the jumper of JP3 (RUN2) is placed at OFF

position, both channel 2 and 3 will be turned off.

7. Because DC1367A is designed so VOUT2 tracks VOUT1

automatically, placing the JP2 (RUN1) to OFF position

turnsoff allthree outputs.To disabletracking onVOUT2,

please remove R6 and R7 and connect TRACK2 to VIN2.

8. VIN1 and VIN2 are shorted on DC1367A through a 1mΩ

resistor, R10. If desired, remove R10 to allow separate

VIN1 and VIN2 power supplies.
