The µModule TM is housed in a small surface mount 15mm × 15mm × 2.82mm LGA package. Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5 to 28V, the LTM4603HV supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V as well as output voltage tracking and margining. The high efficiency design delivers 6A continuous current (8A peak). Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to complete the design. The low profile (2.82mm) and light weight (1.7g) package easily mounts on the 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 sacrificing stability. An onboard remote sense amplifier can be used to accurately regulate an output voltage independent of load current. 2.5V/6A with 4.5V to 28V Input µModule Regulator

MPGM (Pin A12): Programmable Margining Input. A re- sistor from this pin to ground sets a current that is equal to 1.18V/R.

For more information www.linear .com/L TM4603HV operaTion Power Module Description The LTM4603HV is a standalone nonisolated switching mode DC/DC power supply. It can deliver up to 6A of DC output current with few external input and output capaci- tors. This module provides precisely regulated output volt- age programmable via one external resistor from 0.6VDC to 5.0VDC over a 4.5V to 28V wide input voltage. The typical application schematic is shown in Figure 20. The LTM4603HV has an integrated constant on-time current mode regulator, ultralow R DS(ON) FETs with fast switching speed and integrated Schottky diodes. The typi- cal switching frequency is 1MHz at full load. With current mode control and internal feedback loop compensation, the LTM4603HV module has sufficient 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 overvolt- age 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 DRVCC pin, then an efficiency 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 LTM4603HV has a very accurate differential remote sense amplifier with very low offset. This provides for very accurate output voltage sensing at the load. 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 margining voltage, V OUT(MARGIN), will be added or subtracted from the nominal output voltage as determined by the state of the MARG0 and MARG1 pins. See the truth table below: MARG1 MARG0 MODE LOW LOW NO MARGIN LOW HIGH MARGIN UP HIGH LOW MARGIN DOWN HIGH HIGH NO MARGIN Input Capacitors LTM4603HV module should be connected to a low AC impedance DC source. Input capacitors are required to be placed adjacent to the module. In Figure 20, the 10µF ceramic input capacitors are selected for their ability to handle the large RMS current into the converter. An input bulk capacitor of 100µF is optional. This 100µF capacitor is only needed if the input source impedance is compromised by long inductive leads or traces. For a buck converter, the switching duty-cycle can be estimated as: D = VOUT VIN Without considering the inductor ripple current, the RMS current of the input capacitor can be estimated as: ICIN(RMS) = IOUT(MAX) η% • D •(1−D) In the above equation, η% is the estimated efficiency of the power module.

For more information www.linear .com/L TM4603HV applicaTions inForMaTion Example for 5V Output LTM4603HV minimum on-time = 100ns tON = ((VOUT • 10pf)/IfSET), for VOUT > 4.8V use 4.8V LTM4603HV minimum off-time = 400ns tOFF = t– tON, where t = 1/Frequency Duty Cycle = tON/t or VOUT/VIN Equations for setting frequency: IfSET = (VIN/(3 • RfSET)), for 28V input operation, IfSET = 281µA, tON = ((4.8V • 10 pF)/IfSET), tON = 171ns, where the internal RfSET is 33.2k. Frequency = (VOUT/(VIN • tON)) = (5V/(28V • 171 ns)) ~ 1MHz. The inductor ripple cur- rent begins to get high at the higher input voltages due to a larger voltage across the inductor. This is shown in the Inductor Ripple Current vs Duty Cycle graph as over 4A at 18% duty cycle. The inductor ripple current can be lowered at the higher input voltages by adding an external resistor from fSET to ground to increase the switching frequency. A 3A ripple current is chosen, and the total peak current is equal to 1/2 of the 3A ripple current plus the output current. The 5V output current is limited to 5A, so total peak current is less than 6.5A. This is below the 8A peak specified value. A 150k resistor is placed from fSET to ground, and the parallel combination of 150k and 33.2k equates to 27.2k. The IfSET calculation with 27.2k and 28V input voltage equals 343µA. This equates to a tON of 140ns. This will increase the switching frequency from 1MHz to ~1.28MHz 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 1.28MHz operation due to the 400ns minimum off-time. Equation: tON = (VOUT/VIN) • (1/ Frequency) equates to a 382ns on time, and a 400ns off- time. The VIN to VOUT Step-Down Ratio curve reflects an operating range of 10V to 28V for 1.28MHz operation with a 150k resistor to ground (shown in Figure 18), and an 8V to 16V operating range for fSET floating. These modifications 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 LTM4603HV minimum on-time = 100ns tON = ((3.3V • 10pF)/IfSET) LTM4603HV minimum off-time = 400ns tOFF = t – tON, where t = 1/Frequency Duty Cycle (DC) = tON/t or VOUT/VIN Equations for setting frequency: IfSET = (VIN/(3 • RfSET)), for 28V input operation, I fSET = 281µA, tON = ((3.3V • 1 0 pf)/IfSET), tON = 117ns, where the internal RfSET is 33.2k. Frequency = (V OUT/(VIN • tON)) = (3.3V/(28V • 117ns )) ~ 1MHz. The minimum on-time and minimum off-time are within specification at 117ns and 883ns. But the 4.5V minimum input for converting 3.3V output will not meet the minimum off-time specification of 400ns. tON = 733ns, Frequency = 1MHz, tOFF = 267ns. Solution Lower the switching frequency at lower input voltages to allow for higher duty cycles, and meet the 400ns minimum off-time at 4.5V input voltage. The off-time should be about 500ns with 100ns guard band included. The duty cycle for (3.3V/4.5V) = ~73%. Frequency = (1 – DC)/t OFF or (1 – 0.73)/500ns = 540kHz. The switching frequency needs to be lowered to 540kHz at 4.5V input. t ON = DC/ frequency, or 1.35µs. The f SET pin voltage compliance is 1/3 of VIN, and the IfSET current equates to 45µA with the internal 33.2k. The IfSET current needs to be 24µA for 540kHz operation. A resistor can be placed from VOUT to fSET to lower the effective IfSET current out of the fSET pin to 24µA. The f SET pin is 4.5V/3 =1.5V and V OUT = 3.3V, therefore an 82.5k resistor will source 21µA into the fSET node and lower the IfSET current to 24µA. This enables the 540kHz operation and the 4.5V to 28V input operation for down converting to 3.3V output as shown in Figure 19. The frequency will scale from 540kHz to 1.27MHz over this input range. This provides for an effective output current of 5A over the input range.
