DESCRIPTION

LTM4627EV

High Efficiency PolyPhase

Step-Down Power Supply

Demonstrationcircuit1668B-Cisa PolyPhase

power sup-

ply featuring four LT M

4627 high efficiency synchronous

buck µModule

regulators. The DC1668B-C input voltage

range is between 4.5V to 20V with a jumper programmable

output voltage from 0.6V to 3.3V. The demo circuit can

deliver up to 50A of load with excellent current-sharing.

Current derating may be necessary under certain operat-

ing conditions.

The LTM4627 can be synchronized to an external clock be-

tween 250kHz to 770kHz. The default switching frequency

for the DC1668B-C is set to 500kHz through the onboard L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, PolyPhase, µModule and the Linear logo are registered

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

BOARD PHOTO

LTC6902 clock generator. The external clock interleaves

the paralleled phases to minimize input and output ripple.

DC1668B-C demonstrates that paralleling LTM4627 mod-

ules is easy and reliable. These features and the availability

of the LTM4627 in a compact thermally enhanced 15mm

×15mm × 4.32mm LGA package make the circuit ideal for

use in high density point of load regulation applications.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstrationcircuit 1668B-C is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of paralleled LTM4627 modules. Please

refer to Figure 2 for proper measurement equipment setup

and follow the procedure below:

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

meters, and VOUT BNC cable as shown in Figure 2.

Preset the load to 0A and VIN supply to be 0V. Place

jumpers in the following positions for a typical 1.8VOUT

application:

JP2 JP7 JP6

VOUT Select RUN TRACK/SS

1.8V OFF SOFT-START

2. 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 20V to the board or the

modules may be damaged).

3. Set the run pin jumper (JP7) to the ON position. The

output voltage should be regulated. The output voltage

meter should read 1.8V ±2% (1.76V to 1.84V).

4. Vary the input voltage from5Vto 20V and adjust the load

current from 0A to 50A. VOUT should remain regulated

at1.8V±2%. Observethe load regulation, output voltage

ripple, efficiency and other parameters. Output voltage

ripple should be measured at J6 with a BNC cable and

oscilloscope. The probe channel for VOUT should be set

at 50Ω termination resistance to match the BNC cable.

5. 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 (< 1ms)

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 J5 (5mV/A).
