DESCRIPTION

6A DC/DC µModule Regulator with Tracking and Frequency Synchronization The L TM®4618 is a complete 6A output switching mode DC/DC power supply in a 9mm × 15mm × 4.32mm LGA package. Included in the package are the switching con- troller , power FETs, inductor and all support components. Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 26.5V , the L TM4618 supports an output voltage range of 0.8V to 5V set by a single external resistor . Its high effi ciency design delivers 6A continuous current (8A peak). Only a few input and output capacitors are needed. High switching frequency and a current mode architecture enable a very fast transient response to line and load changes without sacrifi cing stability. The device supports frequency synchronization and output voltage tracking for supply rail sequencing. Burst Mode operation or pulse- skipping mode can be selected for light load operations. Fault protection features include overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection and foldback current limit for short-circuit protection. The L TM4618 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.

NC (A1): No Connect. Leave fl oating. FREQ (A2): Frequency Selection Pin. An internal low pass fi lter is tied to this pin. The frequency can be selected from 250kHz to 780kHz by setting a voltage from this pin to SGND. A programming resistor divider can be used to set the operating frequency. See the Applications Information section. MODE/PLLIN (A3): Mode Selection or External Synchroni- zation Pin. Tying this pin to INTV CC enables pulse-skipping operation. Tying this pin low enables forced continuous mode operation. Burst Mode operation is enabled by fl oat- ing the pin. A clock on the pin will force the controller into forced continuous mode of operation and synchronize to the internal oscillator . The programming DC voltage has to be removed for clock synchronization. PGND (BANK 2: A4, B4, D4-D7, E1-E7, F1-F7, G1-G7, H1-H7, J5-J7, K5, K7, L5-L7, M5-M7): Power ground pins for both input and output returns. V IN (BANK 1: A5-A7, B5-B7, C5-C7): Power Input Pins. Apply input voltage between these pins and PGND pins. Recommend placing input decoupling capacitance directly between V IN pins and PGND pins. TK/SS (B1): Output Voltage T racking and Soft-Start Pin. An internal soft-start current of 1.3μA charges the soft-start capacitor . See the Applications Information section. RUN (B2): Run Control Pin. A voltage above 1.35V on this pin turns on the module. Forcing this pin below 1.1V will shut down the output. The RUN pin has a 1μA pull- up current source that increases to 10μA as the RUN pin voltage reaches 1.5V and up to compliance. Therefore the pin can be left fl oating for normal operation. A maximum of 6V can be applied to the pin. A voltage divider can be used for a UVLO function. See the Applications Informa- tion section. SGND (B3, C2 and C3): Signal Ground Pin. Return ground path for all analog and low power circuitry. Tie a single connection to PGND. See applications for details. COMP (C1): Current control threshold and error ampli- fi er compensation point. The module has been internally compensated for most I/O ranges. EXTV CC (C4): External Voltage Input. Bypasses the internal INTVCC LDO and powers the internal circuitry and MOSFET drivers. If a 5V source is available, the internal LDO is disabled, and the power dissipation is lower , especially at higher input voltages. See the Applications Information section. V FB (D1): The negative input of the error amplifi er . Inter- nally, this pin is connected to VOUT with a 60.4kΩ precision resistor . Different output voltages can be programmed with an additional resistor between V FB and SGND pins. See applications for details. PGOOD (D2): Output Voltage Power Good Indicator . Open- drain logic output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage is not within ±7.5% of the regulation point. INTV CC (D3): Internal 5V Regulator Output. This pin is for additional decoupling of the 5V internal regulator . VOUT (BANK 3: J1-J4, K1-K4, L1-L4, M1-M4): Power Out- put Pins. Apply output load between these pins and PGND pins. Recommend placing output decoupling capacitance directly between these pins and PGND pins. SW (K6): Switching Node of the Circuit. This pin is used to check the switching frequency. Leave pin fl oating. A resistor-capacitor snubber can be placed from SW to PGND to eliminate high frequency switch node ringing. See the Applications Information section.

The L TM4618 is a standalone non-isolated switching mode DC/DC power supply. It can deliver up to 6A (DC current) output with few external input and output capacitors. This module provides precisely regulated output voltages pro- grammable via external resistors from 0.8VDC to 5.0VDC over 4.5V to 26.5V input voltages. The typical application schematic is shown in Figure 21. For ≤6V inputs, connect V IN, INTVCC and EXTVCC together . The L TM4618 has an integrated constant frequency current mode regulator and built-in power MOSFET devices with fast switching speed. The typical switching frequency is 750kHz. With current mode control and internal feedback loop compensation, the L TM4618 module has suffi cient stabil- ity margins and good transient performance with a wide range of output capacitors, even with all ceramic output capacitors. Current mode control provides cycle-by-cycle fast current limit and current foldback in a short-circuit condition. Pull- ing the RUN pin below 1.1V forces the controller into its shutdown state, by turning off both MOSFETs. The TK/SS pin can be used for programming the output voltage ramp and voltage tracking during start-up. See the Applications Information section. The L TM4618 is internally compensated to be stable over all operating conditions. The Linear Technology μModule Power Design Tool will be provided for transient and stability analysis. The V FB pin is used to program the output voltage with a single external resistor to ground. Multiphase operation can be easily employed with the synchronization control. High effi ciency at light loads can be accomplished with selectable Burst Mode or pulse-skipping mode operations using the MODE/PLLIN pin. Effi ciency graphs are provided for light load operation in the Typical Performance Char- acteristics section.

The module has already been internally compensated for all output voltages. The Linear Technology μModule Power Design Tool will be provided for other control loop optimization. RUN Pin The RUN pin has a 1μA pull-up current source that will enable the device in a fl oat condition. A voltage divider can be used to enable a UVLO function using the RUN pin. See Figure 21. Fault Conditions: Current Limit and Overcurrent Foldback The L TM4618 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 overload condi- tion, the L TM4618 provides foldback current limiting. If the output voltage falls by more than 40%, then the maximum output current is progressively lowered to about 25% of its full current limit value. Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating The thermal resistances reported in the Pin Confi guration section of the data sheet are consistent with those param- eters defi ned by JESD51-9 and are intended for use with fi nite element analysis (FEA) software modeling tools that leverage the outcome of thermal modeling, simulation, and correlation to hardware evaluation performed on a μModule package mounted to a hardware test board—also defi ned by JESD51-9 (“Test Boards for Area Array Surface Mount Package Thermal Measurements”). The motivation for providing these thermal coeffi cients in found in JESD 51-12 (“Guidelines for Reporting and Using Electronic Package Thermal Information”). Many designers may opt to use laboratory equipment and a test vehicle such as the demo board to anticipate the μModule regulator’s thermal performance in their ap- plication at various electrical and environmental operating conditions to compliment any FEA activities. Without FEA software, the thermal resistances reported in the Pin Con- fi guration section are in-and-of themselves not relevant to providing guidance of thermal performance; instead, the derating curves provided in the data sheet can be used in a manner that yields insight and guidance pertaining to one’s application-usage, and can be adapted to correlate thermal performance to one’s own application. The Pin Confi guration section shows four thermal coef- fi cients explicitly defi ned in JESD 51-12; these coeffi cients are quoted or paraphrased below:

  • θ JA, the thermal resistance from junction to ambi- ent, 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 defi ned test board, which does not refl ect an actual application or viable operating condition.
  • θ JCbottom, the thermal resistance from junction to the bottom of the product case, is the junction-to-board thermal resistance with all of the component power dissipation fl owing through the bottom of the pack- age. In the typical μModule, the bulk of the heat fl ows out the bottom of the package, but there is always heat fl ow 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.
  • θ JCtop, the thermal resistance from junction to top of the product case, is determined with nearly all of the component power dissipation fl owing through the top of the package. As the electrical connections of the typical μModule are on the bottom of the pack- age, it is rare for an application to operate such that most of the heat fl ows from the junction to the top of the part. As in the case of θ JCbottom, this value may be useful for comparing packages but the test condi- tions don’t generally match the user’s application.
  • θ JB, the thermal resistance from junction to the printed circuit board, is the junction-to-board thermal resistance where almost all of the heat fl ows through the bottom of the μModule and into the board, and

the package, using a two sided, two layer board. This board is described in JESD 51-9.

rupting the noise sensitive circuitry on the system board.

  • 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.
  • Test points can be placed on signal pin for monitor- ing during testing.
  • Place high frequency ceramic input and output capacitors 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 mod- ule thermal stress, use multiple vias for interconnec- tion between top layer and other power layers.
  • Do not put vias directly on the pad, 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 20 gives a good example of the recommended layout.
