6A High Effi ciency DC/DC µModule The L TM®4602 is a complete 6A DC/DC step down power supply. Included in the package are the switching control- ler , power FETs, inductor , and all support components. Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V , the L TM4602 supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V , set by a single resistor . This high effi ciency design delivers 6A continuous current (8A peak), needing no heat sinks or airfl ow to meet power specifi cations. Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to fi nish the design. The low profi le package (2.8mm) enables utilization of unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density point of load regulation. High switching frequency and an adaptive on-time current mode architecture enables a very fast transient response to line and load changes without sacrifi cing stability. Fault protection features include integrated overvoltage and short circuit protection with a defeatable shutdown timer . A built-in soft-start timer is adjustable with a small capacitor . The L TM4602 is packaged in a thermally enhanced, compact (15mm × 15mm) and low profi le (2.8mm) over-molded Land Grid Array (LGA) package suitable for automated as- sembly by standard surface mount equipment.

VIN (Bank 1): Power Input Pins. Apply input voltage be- tween these pins and PGND pins. Recommend placing input decoupling capacitance directly between V IN pins and PGND pins. fADJ (Pin A15): A 110k resistor from VIN to this pin sets the one-shot timer current, thereby setting the switching frequency. The L TM4602 switching frequency is typically 850kHz. An external resistor to ground can be selected to reduce the one-shot timer current, thus lower the switching frequency to accommodate a higher duty cycle step down requirement. See the applications section. SV IN (Pin A17): Supply Pin for Internal PWM Controller . Leave this pin open or add additional decoupling capacitance. EXTVCC (Pin A19): External 5V supply pin for controller . If left open or grounded, the internal 5V linear regulator will power the controller and MOSFET drivers. For high input voltage applications, connecting this pin to an external 5V will reduce the power loss in the power module. The EXTV CC voltage should never be higher than VIN. VOSET (Pin A21): The Negative Input of The Error Amplifi er . Internally, this pin is connected to VOUT with a 100k precision resistor . Different output voltages can be programmed with additional resistors between the V OSET and SGND pins. COMP (Pin B23): Current Control Threshold and Error Amplifi er Compensation Point. The current comparator threshold increases with this control voltage. The voltage ranges from 0V to 2.4V with 0.8V corresponding to zero sense voltage (zero current). SGND (Pin D23): Signal Ground Pin. All small-signal components should connect to this ground, which in turn connects to PGND at one point. RUN/SS (Pin F23): Run and Soft-Start Control. Forcing this pin below 0.8V will shut down the power supply. Inside the power module, there is a 1000pF capacitor which provides approximately 0.7ms soft-start time with 200μF output capacitance. Additional soft-start time can be achieved by adding additional capacitance between the RUN/SS and SGND pins. The internal short-circuit latchoff can be disabled by adding a resistor between this pin and the V IN pin. This pullup resistor must supply a minimum 5μA pull up current. FCB (Pin G23): Forced Continuous Input. Grounding this pin enables forced continuous mode operation regardless of load conditions. Tying this pin above 0.63V enables discontinuous conduction mode to achieve high effi ciency operation at light loads. There is an internal 4.75k resistor between the FCB and SGND pins. PGOOD (Pin J23): Output Voltage Power Good Indicator . When the output voltage is within 10% of the nominal voltage, the PGOOD is open drain output. Otherwise, this pin is pulled to ground. PGND (Bank 2): Power ground pins for both input and output returns. V OUT (Bank 3): Power Output Pins. Apply output load between these pins and PGND pins. Recommend placing High Frequency output decoupling capacitance directly between these pins and PGND pins.

μModule Description The L TM4602 is a standalone nonisolated synchronous switching DC/DC power supply. It can deliver up to 6A of DC output current with only bulk external input and output capacitors. This module provides a precisely regulated output voltage programmable via one external resistor from 0.6V DC to 5.0VDC, not to exceed 80% of the input voltage. The input voltage range is 4.5V to 20V . A simplifi ed block diagram is shown in Figure 1 and the typical application schematic is shown in Figure 21. The L TM4602 contains an integrated L TC constant on-time current-mode regulator , ultralow R DS(ON) FETs with fast switching speed and integrated Schottky diode. The typical switching frequency is 850kHz at full load. With current mode control and internal feedback loop compensation, the L TM4602 module has suffi cient stability margins and good transient performance under a wide range of operat- ing conditions and with a wide range of output capacitors, even all ceramic output capacitors (X5R or X7R). Current mode control provides cycle-by-cycle fast current limit. In addition, foldback current limiting is provided in an overcurrent condition while V OSET drops. Also, the L TM4602 has defeatable short-circuit latch off. 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/SS pin low forces the controller into its shutdown state, turning off both Q1 and Q2. Releasing the pin allows an internal 1.2μA current source to charge up the soft-start capacitor . When this voltage reaches 1.5V , the controller turns on and begins switching. At low load current the module works in continuous cur- rent mode by default to achieve minimum output voltage ripple. It can be programmed to operate in discontinuous current mode for improved light load effi ciency when the FCB pin is pulled up above 0.8V and no higher than 6V . The FCB pin has a 4.75k resistor to ground, so a resistor to V IN can set the voltage on the FCB pin. When EXTVCC pin is grounded or open, an integrated 5V linear regulator powers the controller and MOSFET gate drivers. If a minimum 4.7V external bias supply is ap- plied on the EXTV CC pin, the internal regulator is turned off, and an internal switch connects EXTV CC to the gate driver voltage. This eliminates the linear regulator power loss with high input voltage, reducing the thermal stress on the controller . The maximum voltage on EXTV CC pin is 6V . The EXTVCC voltage should never be higher than the VIN voltage. Also EXTVCC must be sequenced after VIN. OPERATION

mined by the maximum load current and output voltage. SET, several external components are added. Figure 2. L TM4602 Margining Implementation

4602 F02

The L TM4602 is designed for low output voltage ripple. The bulk output capacitors C OUT is chosen with low enough effective series resistance (ESR) to meet the output voltage ripple and transient requirements. C OUT can be low ESR tantalum capacitor , low ESR polymer capacitor or ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R). The typical capacitance is 200μF if all ceramic output capacitors are used. The internally optimized loop compensation provides suffi cient stability margin for all ceramic capacitors applications. Additional output fi ltering may be required by the system designer , if further reduction of output ripple or dynamic transient spike is required. Refer to Table 2 for an output capaci- tance matrix for each output voltage droop, peak to peak deviation and recovery time during a 3A/μs transient with a specifi c output capacitance. Fault Conditions: Current Limit and Overcurrent Foldback The L TM4602 has a current mode controller , which inher- ently limits the cycle-by-cycle inductor current not only in steady-state operation, but also in transient. To further limit current in the event of an over load condi- tion, the L TM4602 provides foldback current limiting. If the output voltage falls by more than 50%, then the maximum output current is progressively lowered to about one sixth of its full current limit value. Soft-Start and Latchoff with the RUN/SS pin The RUN/SS pin provides a means to shut down the L TM4602 as well as a timer for soft-start and overcurrent latchoff. Pulling the RUN/SS pin below 0.8V puts the L TM4602 into a low quiescent current shutdown (I Q ≤ 100μA). Releasing the pin allows an internal 1.2μA cur- rent source to charge up the timing capacitor C SS. Inside L TM4602, there is an internal 1000pF capacitor from RUN/ SS pin to ground. If RUN/SS pin has an external capacitor C SS_EXT to ground, the delay before starting is about: tDELAY = 1.5V 1.2μA •( CSS _ EXT+ 1000pF) When the voltage on RUN/SS pin reaches 1.5V , the L TM4602 internal switches are operating with a clamping of the maximum output inductor current limited by the RUN/SS pin total soft-start capacitance. As the RUN/SS pin voltage rises to 3V , the soft-start clamping of the inductor current is released. V IN to VOUT Step-Down Ratios There are restrictions in the maximum V IN to VOUT step down ratio that can be achieved for a given input voltage. These constraints are shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics curves labeled “V IN to V OUT Step-Down Ratio”. Note that additional thermal derating may apply. See the Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating sections of this data sheet. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

  • Use large PCB copper areas for high current path, including V IN, PGND and VOUT. It helps to minimize the PCB conduction loss and thermal stress.
  • Place high frequency ceramic input and output capaci- tors next to the VIN, PGND and VOUT pins to minimize high frequency noise.
  • Place a dedicated power ground layer underneath the unit.
  • To minimize the via conduction loss and reduce module thermal stress, use multiple vias for interconnection between top layer and other power layers.
  • Do not put vias directly on pads unless they are capped.
  • Use a separated SGND ground copper area for com- ponents connected to signal pins. Connect the SGND to PGND underneath the unit. Figure 18 gives a good example of the recommended layout. L TM4602 Frequency Adjustment The L TM4602 is designed to typically operate at 850kHz across most input and output conditions. The control ar- chitecture is constant on time valley mode current control. The f ADJ pin is typically left open or decoupled with an optional 1000pF capacitor . The switching frequency has been optimized to maintain constant output ripple over the operating conditions. The equations for setting the operat- ing frequency are set around a programmable constant on time. This on time is developed by a programmable current into an on board 10pF capacitor that establishes a ramp that is compared to a voltage threshold equal to the output voltage up to a 2.4V clamp. This I ON current is equal to: ION = (VIN – 0.7V)/110k, with the 110k onboard resistor

  • 10pF and tOFF = ts – tON. The frequency is equal to: Freq. = DC/tON. The ION current is proportional to VIN, and the regulator duty cycle is inversely proportional to VIN, there- fore the step-down regulator will remain relatively constant frequency as the duty cycle adjustment takes place with lowering V IN. The on time is proportional to VOUT up to a 2.4V clamp. This will hold frequency relatively constant with different output voltages up to 2.4V .

ION current calculated from 5V input was 39μA, so a resistor from fADJ to ground = (0.7V/30.1k) = 23μA. 39μA – 23μA = 16μA, sets the adequate I ON current for proper frequency range for the higher duty cycle conversion of 5V to 3.3V . Input voltage range is limited to 4.5V to 7V . Higher input voltages can be used without the 30.1k on f ADJ. The inductor ripple current gets too high above 7V , and the 400ns minimum off-time is limited below 4.5V . In 12V to 3.3V applications, if a 35k resistor is added from the f ADJ pin to ground, then a 2% effi ciency gain will be achieved as shown in the 12V effi ciency graph in the Typi- cal Performance Characteristics. This is due to the lower transition losses in the power MOSFETs after lowering the switching frequency down from 1.3MHz to 950kHz. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
