PIN FUNCTIONS GND (Bank 1, Pin L1): Tie these GND pins to a local ground plane below the LTM8056 and the circuit components. In most applications, the bulk of the heat flow out of the LTM8056 is through these pads, so the printed circuit design has a large impact on the thermal performance of the part. See the PCB Layout and Thermal Considerations sections for more details. Return the RFB1/RFB2 feedback divider to this net. VOUT (Bank 2): Power Output Pins. Apply output filter capacitors between these pins and GND pins. V IN (Bank 3): Input Power. The VIN pin supplies current to the LTM8056’s internal power switches and to one terminal of the optional input current sense resistor. This pin must be locally bypassed with an external, low ESR capacitor; see Table 1 for recommended values. I OUT (Pin D1): Output Current Sense. Tie this pin to the output current sense resistor. The output average current sense threshold is 58mV, so the LTM8056 will regulate the output current to 58mV/RSENSE, where RSENSE is the value of the output current sense resistor in ohms. The load is powered through the sense resistor connected at this pin. Tie this pin to VOUT if no output current sense resistor is used. Keep this pin within ±0.5V of VOUT under all conditions. LL (Pin F1): Light Load Indicator. This open drain pin indicates that the output current, as sensed through the resistor connected between VOUT and IOUT, is approxi- mately equivalent to 6mV or less. Its state is meaningful only if a current sense resistor is applied between VOUT and IOUT. This is useful to change the switching behavior of the LTM8056 in light load conditions. SVIN (Pins F10, F11): Controller Power Input. Apply a separate voltage above 5V if the LTM8056 is required to operate when the main power input (VIN) is below 5V. Bypass these pins with a high quality, low ESR capacitor. If a separate supply is not used, connect these pins to VIN. CLKOUT (Pin G1): Clock Output. Use this pin as a clock source when synchronizing other devices to the switch- ing frequency of the LTM8056. When this function is not used, leave this pin open. MODE (Pin G2): Switching Mode Input. The LTM8056 operates in forced continuous mode when MODE is open, and can operate in discontinuous switching mode when MODE is low. In discontinuous switching mode, the LTM8056 will block reverse inductor current. This pin is normally left open or tied to LL. This pin may be tied to GND for the purpose of blocking reverse current if no output sense resistor is used. CTL VOL TAGE (V) OUTPUT CURRENT (A)

8056fa For more information www.linear .com/L TM8056 PIN FUNCTIONS RT (Pin H1): Timing Resistor. The RT pin is used to program the switching frequency of the LTM8056 by connecting a resistor from this pin to ground. The range of oscillation is 100kHz to 800kHz. The Applications Information section of the data sheet includes a table to determine the resistance value based on the desired switching frequency. Minimize capacitance at this pin. A resistor to ground must be ap- plied under all circumstances. SYNC (Pin H2): External Synchronization Input. The SYNC pin has an internal pull-down resistor. See the Synchroni- zation section in Applications Information for details. Tie this pin to GND when not used. FB (Pin J1): Output Voltage Feedback. The LTM8056 regulates the FB pin to 1.2V. Connect the FB pin to a resistive divider between the output and GND to set the output voltage. See Table 1 for recommended FB divider resistor values. COMP (Pin J2): Compensation Pin. The LTM8056 is equipped with internal compensation that works well with most applications. In some cases, the performance of the LTM8056 can be enhanced by modifying the control loop compensation by applying a capacitor or RC network to this pin. SS (Pin K1): Soft-Start. Connect a capacitor from this pin to GND to increase the soft-start time. Soft-start reduces the input power source’s surge current by gradually in- creasing the controller’s current limit. Larger values of the soft-start capacitor result in longer soft-start times. If no soft-start is required, leave this pin open. CTL (Pin K2): Current Sense Adjustment. Apply a voltage below 1.2V to reduce the current limit threshold of IOUT. Drive CTL to less than about 50mV to stop switching. The CTL pin has an internal pull-up resistor to 2V. If not used, leave this pin open. I OUTMON (Pin L2): Output Current Monitor. This pin pro- duces a voltage that is proportional to the voltage between VOUT and IOUT. IOUTMON will equal 1.2V when VOUT – IOUT = 58mV. This feature is generally useful only if a current sense resistor is applied between VOUT and IOUT. This is a high impedance output. Use a buffer to drive a load. IINMON (Pin L3): Input Current Monitor. This pin produces a voltage that is proportional to the voltage between IIN and VIN. IINMON will equal 1V when IIN-VIN = 50mV. This feature is generally useful only if a current sense resistor is applied between VIN and IIN. RUN (Pin L4): LTM8056 Enable. Raise the RUN pin voltage above 1.2V for normal operation. Above 1.2V (typical), but below 6V, the RUN pin input bias current is less than 1μA. Below 1.2V and above 0.3V, the RUN pin sinks 3μA so the user can define the hysteresis with the external resis- tor selection. This will also reset the soft-start function. If RUN is 0.3V or less, the LTM8056 is disabled and the SVIN quiescent current is below 1μA. IIN (Pin L9): Input Current Sense. Tie this pin to the input current sense resistor. The input average current sense threshold is 50mV, so the LTM8056 will regulate the input current to 50mV/RSENSE, where RSENSE is the value of the input current sense resistor in ohms. Tie to VIN when not used. Keep this pin within ±0.5V of VIN under all conditions.

8056fa For more information www.linear .com/L TM8056 OPERATION The LTM8056 is a standalone nonisolated buck-boost switching DC/DC power supply. The buck-boost topol- ogy allows the LTM8056 to regulate its output voltage for input voltages both above and below the magnitude of the output, and the maximum output current depends upon the input voltage. Higher input voltages yield higher maximum output current. This converter provides a precisely regulated output volt- age programmable via an external resistor divider from 1.2V to 48V. The input voltage range is 5V to 58V, but the LTM8056 may be operated at lower input voltages if SVIN is powered by a voltage source above 5V. A simplified block diagram is given on the previous page. The LTM8056 contains a current mode controller, power switching elements, power inductor and a modest amount of input and output capacitance. The LTM8056 is a fixed frequency PWM regulator. The switching frequency is set by connecting the appropriate resistor value from the RT pin to GND. The output voltage of the LTM8056 is set by connecting the FB pin to a resistor divider between the output and GND. In addition to regulating its output voltage, the LTM8056 is equipped with average current control loops for both the input and output. Add a current sense resistor between IIN and VIN to limit the input current below some maximum value. The IINMON pin reflects the current flowing though the sense resistor between IIN and VIN. A current sense resistor between VOUT and IOUT allows the LTM8056 to accurately regulate its output current to a maximum value set by the value of the sense resistor. In general, the LTM8056 should be used with an output sense resistor to limit the maximum output current, as buck-boost regulators are capable of delivering large cur- rents when the output voltage is lower than the input, if demanded. Furthermore, while the LTM8056 does not require an output sense resistor to operate, it uses information from the sense resistor to optimize its performance. If an out- put sense resistor is not used, the efficiency or output ripple may degrade, especially if the current through the integrated inductor is discontinuous. In some cases, an output sense resistor is required to adequately protect the LTM8056 against output overload or short-circuit. A voltage less than 1.2V applied to the CTL pin reduces the maximum output current if an output current sense resistor is used. Drive CTL to less than about 50mV to stop switching. The current flowing through the sense resistor is reflected by the output voltage of the IOUTMON pin. Driving the SYNC pin will synchronize the LTM8056 to an external clock source. The CLKOUT pin sources a signal that is the same frequency but approximately 180° out of phase with the internal oscillator. If more output current is required than a single LTM8056 can provide, multiple devices may be operated in parallel. Refer to the Parallel Operation section of Applications Information for more details. An internal regulator provides power to the control circuitry and the gate driver to the power MOSFETs. This internal regulator draws power from the SVIN pin. The RUN pin is used to place the LTM8056 in shutdown, disconnecting the output and reducing the input current to less than 1μA. The LTM8056 is equipped with a thermal shutdown that inhibits power switching at high junction temperatures. The activation threshold of this function is above 125°C to avoid interfering with normal operation, so prolonged or repetitive operation under a condition in which the thermal shutdown activates may damage or impair the reliability of the device.

8056fa For more information www.linear .com/L TM8056 the LTM8056 delivers. In cases where the LTM8056 is the largest or only power converter, this may not be true and some means may need to be devised to prevent the LTM8056’s input from rising too high. Figure 5a shows a passive crowbar circuit that will dissipate energy during momentary input overvoltage conditions. The break-down voltage of the Zener diode is chosen in conjunction with the resistor R to set the circuit’s trip point. The trip point is typically set well above the maximum VIN voltage under normal operating conditions. This circuit does not have a precision threshold, and is subject to both part-to-part and temperature variations, so it is most suitable for ap- plications where the maximum input voltage is much less than the 60VIN absolute maximum. As stated earlier, this type of circuit is best suited for momentary overvoltages. Figure 5a is a crowbar circuit, which attempts to prevent the input voltage from rising above some level by dumping energy to GND through a power device. In some cases, it is possible to simply turn off the LTM8056 when the input voltage exceeds some threshold. An example of this circuit is shown in Figure 5b. When the power source on the output drives VIN above a predetermined threshold, the comparator pulls down on the RUN pin and stops switching in the LTM8056. When this happens, the input capacitance needs to absorb the energy stored within the LTM8056’s internal inductor, resulting in an additional voltage rise. This voltage rise depends upon the input capacitor size and how much current is flowing from the LTM8056 output to input. Switching Mode The MODE pin allows the user to select either discontinuous mode or forced continuous mode switching operation. In forced continuous mode, the LTM8056 will not skip cycles, even when the internal inductor current falls to zero or even reverses direction. This has the advantage of operating at the same fixed frequency for all load conditions, which can be useful when designing to EMI or output noise speci- fications. Forced continuous mode, however, uses more current at light loads, and allows current to flow from the load back into the input if the output is raised above the regulation point. This reverse current can raise the input voltage and be hazardous if the input is allowed to rise uncontrollably. Please refer to Input Precautions in this section for a discussion of this behavior. Forced continuous operation may provide improved output regulation when the LTM8056 transitions from buck, buck-boost or boost operating modes, especially at lighter loads. In such a case, it can be desirable to oper ate in forced continuous mode except when the internal inductor current is about to reverse. If so, apply a current sense resistor between VOUT and IOUT and tie the LL and MODE pins together. The LL pin is low when the current through the output sense resistor is about one-tenth the full-scale maximum. When the output current falls to this level, the LL pin will pull the MODE pin down, putting the LTM8056 in discontinuous mode, preventing reverse cur- rent from flowing from the output to the input.

8056faFor more information www.linear .com/L TM8056 where MODE and LL are tied together, a small capacitor (~0.1µF) from these pins to GND may improve the light load transient response by delaying the transition from the discontinuous to forced continuous switching modes. MODE may be tied to GND for the purpose of blocking reverse current if no output current sense resistor is used. FB Resistor Divider and Load Regulation The LTM8056 regulates its FB pin to 1.2V, using a resistor divider to sense the output voltage. The location at which the output voltage is sensed affects the load regulation. If there is a current sense resistor between VOUT and IOUT, and the output is sensed at VOUT, the voltage at the load will drop by the value of the current sense resistor multiplied by the output current. If the output voltage can be sensed at IOUT, the load regulation may be improved. PCB Layout Most of the headaches associated with PCB layout have been alleviated or even eliminated by the high level of integration of the LTM8056. The LTM8056 is neverthe- less a switching power supply, and care must be taken to minimize EMI and ensure proper operation. Even with the high level of integration, you may fail to achieve specified operation with a haphazard or poor layout. See Figure 6 for a suggested layout. Ensure that the grounding and heat sinking are acceptable. A few rules to keep in mind are: 1. Place the RFB and RT resistors as close as possible to their respective pins. 2. Place the CIN capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and GND connection of the LTM8056. 3. Place the COUT capacitor as close as possible to the VOUT and GND connection of the LTM8056. 4. Minimize the trace resistance between the optional output current sense resistor, ROUT, and VOUT. Minimize the loop area of the IOUT trace and the trace from VOUT to ROUT. 5. Minimize the trace resistance between the optional input current sense resistor (RIN) and VIN. Minimize the loop area of the IIN trace and the trace from VIN to RIN. 6. Place the CIN and COUT capacitors such that their ground current flow directly adjacent or underneath the LTM8056. 7. Connect all of the GND connections to as large a copper pour or plane area as possible on the top layer. Avoid breaking the ground connection between the external components and the LTM8056. 8. Use vias to connect the GND copper area to the board’s internal ground planes. Liberally distribute these GND vias to provide both a good ground connection and thermal path to the internal planes of the printed circuit board. Pay attention to the location and density of the thermal vias in Figure 6. The LTM8056 can benefit from the heat sinking afforded by vias that connect to internal GND planes at these locations, due to their proximity to internal power handling components. The optimum number of thermal vias depends upon the printed circuit board design. For example, a board might use very small via holes. It should employ more thermal vias than a board that uses larger holes. Hot-Plugging Safely The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic capacitors make them an attractive option for the input bypass capacitor of the LTM8056. However, these capaci- tors can cause problems if the LTM8056 is plugged into a live supply (see Linear Technology Application Note 88 for a complete discussion). The low loss ceramic capacitor combined with stray inductance in series with the power source forms an underdamped tank circuit, and the volt- age at the VIN pin of the LTM8056 can ring to more than twice the nominal input voltage, possibly exceeding the LTM8056’s rating and damaging the part. If the input supply APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

The thermal resistance numbers listed in the Pin Configura- tion of the data sheet are based on modeling the µModule package mounted on a test board specified per JESD 51-9 (Test Boards for Area Array Surface Mount Package Thermal Measurements). The thermal coefficients provided on this page are based on JESD 51-12 (Guidelines for Reporting and Using Electronic Package Thermal Information). For increased accuracy and fidelity to the actual application, many designers use FEA to predict thermal performance. To that end, the Pin Configuration of the data sheet typi- cally gives four thermal coefficients: θ JA – Thermal resistance from junction to ambient. θJCbottom – Thermal resistance from junction to the bottom of the product case. θJCtop – Thermal resistance from junction to top of the product case. θ JB – Thermal resistance from junction to the printed circuit board. While the meaning of each of these coefficients may seem to be intuitive, JEDEC has defined each to avoid confusion and inconsistency. These definitions are given in JESD 51-12, and are quoted or paraphrased below: θ JA is the natural convection junction-to-ambient air thermal resistance measured in a one cubic foot sealed enclosure. This environment is sometimes referred to as “still air” although natural convection causes the air to move. This value is determined with the part mounted to a JESD 51-9 defined test board, which does not reflect an actual application or viable operating condition. θJCbottom is the thermal resistance between the junction and bottom of the package with all of the component power dissipation flowing through the bottom of the package. In the typical µModule converter, the bulk of the heat flows out the bottom of the package, but there is always heat flow out into the ambient environment. As a result, this thermal resistance value may be useful for comparing packages but the test conditions don’t generally match the user’s application. θJCtop is determined with nearly all of the component power dissipation flowing through the top of the package. As the electrical connections of the typical µModule converter are on the bottom of the package, it is rare for an application to operate such that most of the heat flows from the junc- tion to the top of the part. As in the case of θJCbottom, this value may be useful for comparing packages but the test conditions don’t generally match the user’s application. θ JB is the junction-to-board thermal resistance where almost all of the heat flows through the bottom of the µModule converter and into the board, and is really the sum of the θJCbottom and the thermal resistance of the bottom of the part through the solder joints and through a portion of the board. The board temperature is measured a specified distance from the package, using a 2-sided, 2-layer board. This board is described in JESD 51-9. Given these definitions, it should now be apparent that none of these thermal coefficients reflects an actual physical operating condition of a µModule converter. Thus, none of them can be individually used to accurately predict the thermal performance of the product. Likewise, it would be inappropriate to attempt to use any one coefficient to correlate to the junction temperature versus load graphs given in the product’s data sheet. The only appropriate way to use the coefficients is when running a detailed thermal analysis, such as FEA, which considers all of the thermal resistances simultaneously.

8056fa For more information www.linear .com/L TM8056 A graphical representation of these thermal resistances is given in Figure 7. The blue resistances are contained within the µModule converter, and the green are outside. The die temperature of the LTM8056 must be lower than the maximum rating of 125°C, so care should be taken in the layout of the circuit to ensure good heat sinking of the LTM8056. The bulk of the heat flow out of the LTM8056 is through the bottom of the μModule converter and the BGA pads into the printed circuit board. Consequently a poor printed circuit board design can cause excessive heating, resulting in impaired performance or reliability. Please refer to the PCB Layout section for printed circuit board design suggestions.
