DESCRIPTION
LTM4607EV: High Density
Buck-Boost Power Module
Demonstration circuit DC1198B-B features the
LT M
®
4607EV, a high efficiency, high density switch mode
buck-boost power module. The LTM4607EV can regulate
its output voltage from input voltage both above and below
the output. The board accepts an input voltage from 6V
to 36V and is set for an output voltage of 12V. The rated
load current is 5A in boost mode and 12A in step-down
operation. Derating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT
and thermal conditions. The switching frequency can be
synchronized to external clock operating from 200kHz to L, LT, LTC, LTM, μModule, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
400kHz. This clock input can be used to reduce undesir-
able frequency harmonics and reduce input and output
ripple when paralleling LTM4607 modules for even higher
output current. The LTM4607 data sheet must be read
in conjunction with this demo manual for working on or
modifying the demo circuit DC1198B-B.
Design files for this circuit board are available at

DEMO MANUAL DC1198B-B
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit DC1198B-B provides a simple way
to evaluate the performance of the LTM4607EV. Please
refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement equipment
set-up, and follow the procedure below:
1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical
12VOUT application:
RUN CLOCK MODE START
On Prog CCM SSO
2. With the power off, preset the load to 0A and the VIN
supply to less than 36V. Next, connect the input power
supply, load and meters, as shown in Figure 1.
3. Turn on the power at the input. The output voltage
should be 12V, ±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. The cooling fan and lower cur-
rent sensing resistor are necessary for VIN < 6V and
IOUT = 5A.
5. To measure the input and output ripple, please refer
to Figure 2 for the proper set-up.
6. The voltage at PLLFLTR determines the switching
frequency. Modify R6 and R7 to adjust the switching
frequency. Do not allow the voltage at pin PLLFLTR
to exceed 2.4V.
7. Inductor and RSENSE should be modified to accom-
modate certain input and output conditions. Please
refer to Table 1 for recommended inductors.
