DESCRIPTION
LTM4620A
High Efficiency, Dual 13A Step-Down
Power µModule Regulator
Demonstration circuit 1759A features the LTM
®
4620AEV,
the high efficiency, high density, dual 13A, switch mode
step-down power module regulator. The input voltage is
from 5.5V to 16V. The output voltage is programmable
from 0.6V to 5V. DC1759A can deliver 13A maximum
current from each channel. As explained in the 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-
ciencyatlowloadcurrents,theMODEjumper(JP1)selects

operation in less noise sensitive applications.
Two outputs can be connected in parallel for a single 26A
output solution with optional jumper resistors. The board
allows the user to program how its output ramps up and

down through the TRACK/SS pin. The output can be set
up to either coincidentally or ratiometrically track with
another supply’s output. Remote output voltage sensing
is available for improved output voltage regulation at
the load point. These features and the availability of the
LTM4620AEV in a compact 15mm ×15mm ×4.41mm
LGA package make it ideal for use in many high density
point-of-load regulation applications. The LTM4620A data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual
for working on or modifying the demo circuit 1759A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1759A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LTM4620AEV. 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:

2. 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.
3. Turn on the power supply at the input. The output
voltage in channel 1 should be 3.3V ±1.5% (3.2505V
~ 3.3495V) and the output voltage in channel 2 should
be 5V ±1.5% (4.925V ~ 5.075V).
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 IOSTEP CLK and GND
test point. 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
(<1%) 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) LTM4620A can be synchronizedto an external
clock signal. Place the JP1 jumper on EXT_CLK and
apply a clock signal (0V ~ 5V, square wave) on the
CLKIN test point.
7. (Optional) The outputs of LTM4620A 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) LTM4620A can be configured for a 2-phase
single output at up to 26A on DC1759A. Install 0Ω
resistors on R14, R17, R28, R39 and remove R7,
R19. Output voltage is set by R25 based on equation
VOUT = 0.6V(1 + 60.4k/R25).
