4633EY,

a high efficiency, triple 10A step-down power µModule

regulator. The input voltage range is from 4.7V to 16V with

commoninputsource,or2.375Vto16Vwithanexternalbias

supply.Theoutputvoltagerangeis0.8Vto1.8VforChannel1

and Channel 2, 0.8V to 5.5V for Channel 3. Derating is

necessary forcertain VIN,VOUT,frequency and thermal con-

ditions. The DC1905A offers access to the TRACK/SS pins

allowing the user to program output tracking or soft-start

period.Theboard operates in continuous conduction mode

in heavy load conditions. For high efficiency at low load L, LT, LTC, LTM, Burst Mode, µModule, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered

currents, the MODE jumper (JP4) selects pulse-skipping

mode for noise sensitive applications or Burst-Mode

operation in less noise sensitive applications. Channel 1

and 2 can be connected in parallel for a single 20A output

solutionwith optional jumperresistors. The LTM4633 data

sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual

prior to working on or modifying demo circuit DC1905A.

DEMO MANUAL DC1905A

Quick start proceDure

Demonstration circuit DC1905A is an easy way to evalu-

ate the performance of the LTM4633EY. 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

application:

RUN1 RUN2 RUN3 MODE

ON ON ON CCM

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

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

and VIN supply to 12V.

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

voltage of channel 1 should be 1.0V±1.5% (0.985V

to 1.015V). The output voltage of channel 2 should be

1.2V ±1.5% (1.182V to 1.218V). The output voltage of

channel 3 should be 3.3V ±1.5% (3.25V to 3.349V).

4. Vary the input voltage from 4.7V to 16V and adjust the

load current of each channel from 0A to 10A. Observe

the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency,

and other parameters.

5. (Optional) For optional load transient test, apply an

adjustable pulse signal between IOSTEP_CLK and GND

test points. The pulse amplitude sets the load step cur-

rent amplitude. Keep the pulse width short (<1ms) and

pulse duty cycle low (<5%) to limit the thermal stress

on the load transient circuit. Switch the jumper resistors

R30, R31 or R34 (on the backside of boards) to apply

load transient on channel 1, channel 2, or channel 3

respectively.

6. (Optional) LTM4633 can be synchronized to an external

clock signal. Place the JP4 jumper on EXT_CLK and

apply a clock signal (0V to 5V, square wave) on the

CLKIN test point.

7. (Optional) The outputs of LTM4633 can track another

supply. If tracking external voltage is selected, the cor-

respondingtestpoints, TRACK1, TRACK2, and TRACK3,

need to be connected to a valid voltage signal.

8. (Optional) Channel 1 and 2 can be connected in paral-

lel for a 20A polyphase operation on DC1905A. Install

0Ω resistors on R32, R33, R35, R36 and remove R15.

Output voltage is set by R4 based on equation VOUT =

0.8V (1 + 60.4k/2/R4).
