DESCRIPTION

LTM4650EY

Dual Phase Single 50A

DC/DC μModule Regulator

Demonstration circuit 2479A-A features the LT M

4650EY,

the high efficiency, high density, dual 25A, single 50A

switch mode step-down power module regulator. The

input voltage is from 4.5V to 15V. The output voltage is

programmable from 0.6V to 1.8V. DC2479A-A is con-

figured as dual-phase, single-output, which can deliver

up to 50A maximum. The board designs with minimum

components to demonstrate this high efficiency, high

density µModule. As explained in the data sheet, output

current de-rating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT, and L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear

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

thermal conditions. These features and the availability of

the LTM4650EY in a compact 16mm ×16mm ×5.01mm

BGA package make it ideal for use in many high-density

point-of-load applications. The LTM4650 data sheet must

be read in conjunction with this demo manual for working

on or modifying the demo circuit DC2479A-A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit DC2479A-A is easy to set up to

evaluate the performance of the LTM4650EY. Please refer

to Figure 1 for proper measurement setup and follow the

procedure below:

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

and meters as shown in Figure 2. Preset the load to 0A

and VIN supply to 12V.

2. Turn on the power supply at the input. The output volt-

age should be 1.0V ± 1.5% (0.985V~1.015V).

3. Oncetheproperoutputvoltageisestablished,adjustthe

load within the operating range and observe the output

voltage regulation, output voltage ripple, efﬁciency and

other parameters. Output ripple can be measured at J6

with BNC cables.

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

adjustable pulse signal between “IOSTEP CLK” and

“GND” test point. Pulse amplitude (3V~3.5V) sets the

loadstepcurrentamplitude.Theoutputtransientcurrent

can be monitored at the BNC connector J5 (10mV/A).

The pulse signal should have very small duty cycle

(< 10%) to limit the thermal stress on the transient

load circuit.
