The µModule is housed in a small surface mount 15mm ×15mm × 2.8mm LGA package. Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5 to 28V, the LTM4601HV supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V as well as output voltage tracking and margining. The high effi ciency design delivers 12A continuous current (14A peak). Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to complete the design. The low profi le (2.8mm) and light weight (1.7g) package easily mounts in unused space on the back side of PC boards for high density point of load regulation. The µModule can be synchronized with an external clock for reducing undesirable frequency harmonics and allows PolyPhase ® operation for high load currents. A high switching frequency and adaptive on-time current mode architecture deliver a very fast transient response to line and load changes without sacrifi cing stability. An onboard differential remote sense amplifi er can be used to accurately regulate an output voltage independent of load current.

It can deliver up to 12A of DC output current with some external input and output capacitors. This module provides precisely regulated output voltage programmable via one external resistor from 0.6V DC to 5.0V DC over a 4.5V to 28V wide input voltage. The typical application schematics are shown in Figures 19 and 20. The LTM4601HV has an integrated constant on-time current mode regulator, ultralow R DS(ON) FETs with fast switching speed and integrated Schottky diodes. The typical switching frequency is 850kHz at full load. With current mode control and internal feedback loop compensation, the LTM4601HV module has suffi cient stability margins and good transient performance under a wide range of operating conditions and with a wide range of output capacitors, even all ceramic output capacitors. Current mode control provides cycle-by-cycle fast current limit. Besides, foldback current limiting is provided in an overcurrent condition while V FB drops. Internal overvoltage and undervoltage comparators pull the open-drain PGOOD output low if the output feedback voltage exits a ±10% window around the regulation point. Furthermore, in an overvoltage condition, internal top FET Q1 is turned off and bottom FET Q2 is turned on and held on until the overvoltage condition clears. Pulling the RUN pin below 1V forces the controller into its shutdown state, turning off both Q1 and Q2. At low load current, the module works in continuous current mode by default to achieve minimum output voltage ripple. When DRV CC pin is connected to INTV CC an integrated 5V linear regulator powers the internal gate drivers. If a 5V external bias supply is applied on the DRV CC pin, then an effi ciency improvement will occur due to the reduced power loss in the internal linear regulator. This is especially true at the higher input voltage range. The LTM4601HV has a very accurate differential remote sense amplifi er with very low offset. This provides for very accurate remote sense voltage measurement. The MPGM pin, MARG0 pin and MARG1 pin are used to sup- port voltage margining, where the percentage of margin is programmed by the MPGM pin, and the MARG0 and MARG1 select margining. The PLLIN pin provides frequency synchronization of the device to an external clock. The TRACK/SS pin is used for power supply tracking and soft-start programming.

The RUN pin is used to enable the power module. The pin has an internal 5.1V zener to ground. The pin can be driven with a logic input not to exceed 5V. The RUN pin can also be used as an undervoltage lock out (UVLO) function by connecting a resistor divider from the input supply to the RUN pin: V RR R VUVLO = +12 2 15. Power Good The PGOOD pin is an open-drain pin that can be used to monitor valid output voltage regulation. This pin monitors a ±10% window around the regulation point and tracks with margining. COMP Pin This pin is the external compensation pin. The module has already been internally compensated for most output voltages. Table 2 is provided for most application require- ments. A spice model will be provided for other control loop optimization. PLLIN The power module has a phase-locked loop comprised of an internal voltage controlled oscillator and a phase detector. This allows the internal top MOSFET turn-on to be locked to the rising edge of the external clock. The frequency range is ±30% around the operating frequency of 850kHz. A pulse detection circuit is used to detect a clock on the PLLIN pin to turn on the phase lock loop. The pulse width of the clock has to be at least 400ns and 2V in amplitude. During the start-up of the regulator, the phase-lock loop function is disabled. INTV CC and DRVCC Connection An internal low dropout regulator produces an internal 5V supply that powers the control circuitry and DRV CC for driving the internal power MOSFETs. Therefore, if the system does not have a 5V power rail, the LTM4601HV can be directly powered by V IN. The gate driver current through the LDO is about 20mA. The internal LDO power dissipation can be calculated as: P LDO_LOSS = 20mA • (VIN – 5V) The LTM4601HV also provides the external gate driver voltage pin DRVCC. If there is a 5V rail in the system, it is recommended to connect DRV CC pin to the external 5V rail. This is especially true for higher input voltages. Do not apply more than 6V to the DRV CC pin. A 5V output can be used to power the DRV CC pin with an external circuit as shown in Figure 18. Parallel Operation of the Module The LTM4601HV device is an inherently current mode controlled device. Parallel modules will have very good current sharing. This will balance the thermals on the de- sign. Figure 21 shows a schematic of the parallel design. The voltage feedback equation changes with the variable n as modules are paralleled: VV k n R ROUT FB FB 60 4 n is the number of paralleled modules. Figure 21 shows two LTM4601HV modules used in a par- allel design. An LTM4601HV device can be used without the diff amp. Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating The power loss curves in Figures 7 and 8 can be used in coordination with the load current derating curves in Figures 9 to 16 for calculating an approximate θ JA for the module with various heat sinking methods. Thermal models are derived from several temperature measurements at the bench and thermal modeling analysis. Thermal Ap- plication Note 103 provides a detailed explanation of the analysis for the thermal models and the derating curves. Tables 3 and 4 provide a summary of the equivalent θ JA for the noted conditions. These equivalent θJA parameters are correlated to the measured values, and are improved with air fl ow. The case temperature is maintained at 100°C or below for the derating curves. The maximum case temperature of 100°C is to allow for a rise of about 13°C APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIOWU UU

Table 2. Output Voltage Response Versus Component Matrix (Refer to Figure 20), 0A to 6A Load Step

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIOWU UU Frequency Adjustment The LTM4601HV is designed to typically operate at 850kHz across most input conditions. The fSET pin is normally left open or decoupled with an optional 1000pF capacitor. The switching frequency has been optimized for maintaining constant output ripple noise over most operating ranges. The 850kHz switching frequency and the 400ns minimum off time can limit operation at higher duty cycles like 5V to 3.3V, and produce excessive inductor ripple currents for lower duty cycle applications like 28V to 5V. The 5V and 3.3V drop out curves are modifi ed by adding an external resistor on the f SET pin to allow for lower input voltage operation, or higher input voltage operation. Example for 5V Output LTM4601HV minimum on-time = 100ns; t ON = ((4.8 • 10pf)/IfSET) LTM4601HV minimum off-time = 400ns; t OFF = t – tON, where t = 1/Frequency Duty Cycle = t ON/t or VOUT/VIN Equations for setting frequency: I fSET = (VIN/(3 • RfSET)), for 28V operation, ISET = 238µA, tON = ((4.8 • 10pF)/IfSET), tON = 202ns, where the internal RfSET is 39.2k. Frequency = (VOUT/(VIN • tON)) = (5V/(28 • 202ns)) ~ 884kHz. The inductor ripple current begins to get high at the higher input voltages due to a larger voltage across the inductor. This is noted in the Typical Inductor Ripple Current verses Duty Cycle graph (Figure 3) where I L ≈ 10A at 20% duty cycle. The inductor ripple current can be lowered at the higher input voltages by adding an external resistor from f SET to ground to increase the switch- ing frequency. A 7A ripple current is chosen, and the total peak current is equal to 1/2 of the 7A ripple current plus the output current. The 5V output current is limited to 8A, so the total peak current is less than 11.5A. This is below the 14A peak specifi ed value. A 100k resistor is placed from f SET to ground, and the parallel combination of 100k and 39.2k equates to 28k. The IfSET calculation with 28k and 28V input voltage equals 333µA. This equates to a tON of 144ns. This will increase the switching frequency from ~884kHz to ~1.24MHz for the 28V to 5V conversion. The minimum on time is above 100ns at 28V input. Since the switching frequency is approximately constant over input and output conditions, then the lower input voltage range is limited to 10V for the 1.24MHz operation due to the 400ns minimum off time. Equation: t ON = (VOUT/VIN)

  • (1/Frequency) equates to a 400ns on time, and a 400ns off time. The “V IN to VOUT Step Ratio Curve” refl ects an operating range of 10V to 28V for 1.24MHz operation with a 100k resistor to ground as shown in Figure 18, and an 8V to 16V operation for f SET fl oating. These modifi cations are made to provide wider input voltage ranges for the 5V output designs while limiting the inductor ripple current, and maintaining the 400ns minimum off time. Example for 3.3V Output LTM4601HV minimum on-time = 100ns; t ON = ((3.3 • 10pF)/IfSET) LTM4601HV minimum off-time = 400ns; t OFF = t – tON, where t = 1/Frequency Duty Cycle (DC) = t ON/t or VOUT/VIN Equations for setting frequency: I fSET = (VIN/(3 • RfSET)), for 28V operation, IfSET = 238µA, tON = ((3.3 • 10pf)/IfSET), tON = 138.7ns, where the internal RfSET is 39.2k. Frequency = (VOUT/(VIN • tON)) = (3.3V/(28 • 138.7ns)) ~ 850kHz. The minimum on-time and minimum- off time are within specifi cation at 139ns and 1037ns. The 4.5V minimum input for converting 3.3V output will not meet the minimum off-time specifi cation of 400ns. t ON = 868ns, Frequency = 850kHz, tOFF = 315ns.
