DESCRIPTION

LTM4614EV: Dual 4A

Step-Down µModule

Regulator

Demonstration circuit DC1385A features the LTM

4614EV,

thehighefficiency, high density power module with dual 4A

switchmode outputs. Derating is necessaryfor certain VIN,

VOUT, and thermal conditions. In the default configuration,

thetwo outputs share the same input supply, howevereach

regulator may have its own input supply simply by remov-

ing a resistor. By enabling the tracking feature, the outputs L, LT, LTC, LTM, μModule, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of

Linear Technology Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

DEMO MANUAL DC1385A

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit DC1385A is an easy way to evalu-

ate the performance of the LTM4614EV. 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 and 1.2V application:

TRACK1 RUN1 RUN2

DISABLED ON ON

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

load and meters as shown in Figure 1. Preset the loads

to 0A and VIN supply to be less than 5.5V.

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

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

voltage between 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. Channel 1 can track another supply by connecting TP17,

TRACK to another supply and setting JP1 to ENABLED.

Resistors R8 and R9 are set up for coincidental tracking.

Channel 2 is set up to coincidentally track the output

of channel 1 by resistor R6 and R7. Please refer to the

circuit schematic and data sheet.

6. Because DC1385A is assembled in a way that VOUT2

tracks VOUT1 automatically, placing the JP2 (RUN1) to

OFF position turns off both outputs. To disable track-

ing function of VOUT2, please remove R6 and R7 and

connect TRACK2 to VIN2.

7. VIN1 and VIN2 are shorted on DC1385A through a

1mohm resistor, R10. If desired, remove R10 and dif-

ferent supplies can be applied to VIN1 and VIN2 of this

demo circuit.
