Description

LTM4630EV High Efficiency, Dual 18A

Step-Down Power µModule Regulator

Demonstration circuit 1892A features the LTM®4630EV, the high efficiency, high density, dual 18A, 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. DC1892A can deliver up to 18A maximum in each channel. As explained in the LTM4630 data sheet, output current derating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT and thermal conditions. The board operates in continuous conduction mode in heavy load conditions. For high effi-ciency at low load currents, the MODE jumper (JP1) selects pulse-skipping mode for noise-sensitive applications or Burst Mode® operation in less noise-sensitive applications.

Two outputs can be connected in parallel for a single 36A output solution with optional jumper resistors. The board L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, Linear logo and Burst Mode are registered trademarks of

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

DEMO MANUAL DC1892A

Quick start proceDureDemonstration circuit DC1892A is easy to set up to evalu-ate the performance of the LTM4630EV. Please refer to Figure 2 for proper measurement setup and follow the procedure below:

1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical application:

JP1 JP2 JP3 JP4 JP5 JP6

MODE RUN1 RUN2 TRACK1 SEL.

TRACK2 SEL.

CLKOUT PHASE

CCM ON ON SOFT-START

SOFT-START

90°

2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load and meters, as shown in Figure 1. Preset the load to 0A and the VIN supply to 12V.

3. Turn on the power supply at the input. The output volt-age in channel 1 should be 1.5V ± 1.5% (1.4775V ~ 1.5225V) and the output voltage in channel 2 should be 1V ± 1.5% (0.985V ~ 1.015V).

4. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the load within the operating range and observe the output voltage regulation, output voltage ripple, efficiency and other parameters. Output ripple should be measured at J1 and J2 with BNC cables. 50Ω termination should be set on the oscilloscope or BNC cables.

5. (Optional) For optional load transient test, apply an adjustable pulse signal between the IOSTEP CLK and GND test points. Pulse amplitude (3V ~ 3.5V) sets the load step current amplitude. The output transient current can be monitored at the BNC connector J3 (15mV/A). The pulse signal should have very small duty cycle (< 10%) to limit the thermal stress on the transient load circuit. Switch the jumper resistors R34 or R35 (on the backside of boards) to apply load transient on channel 1 or channel 2, correspondingly.

6. (Optional) LTM4630 can be synchronized to an external clock signal. Place the JP1 jumper on EXT_CLK and apply a clock signal (0 ~ 5V, square wave) on the CLKIN test point.

7. (Optional) The outputs of LTM4630 can track another supply. The jumpers JP4 and JP5 allow choosing soft-start or output tracking. If tracking external voltage is selected, the corresponding test points, TRACK1 and TRACK2, need to be connected to a valid voltage signal.

8. (Optional) LTM4630 can be configured for a 2-phase single output at up to 36A on DC1892A. Install 0Ω resistors on R14, R17, R28, R39 and remove R7, R19. Output voltage is set by R25 based on the equation:

VOUT = 0.6V • 1+ 60.4k
