regulators. The DC1668A-A 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 30A 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 DC1668A-A is set to 500kHz through the onboard
LTC6902 clock generator. The external clock interleaves
the paralleled phases to minimize input and output ripple.
DC1668A-A 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
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Demonstration circuit 1668A-A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of paralleled LTM4627 modules. Please
refer to Figure 1 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 1.
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 from 5V to 20V and adjust the
load current from 0A to 30A. VOUT should remain
regulated at 1.8V ±2%. Observe the 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).
