DescripTion
The LTM4611 is a high density 15A output, switch mode DC/DC buck converter power supply capable of operating from very low voltage input supplies. Included in the package are the buck switching controller, power FETs, inductor and loop-compensation components. The LTM4611 delivers up to 15A continuous current at high efficiency from an input voltage of 1.5VIN up to 5.5VIN. The output voltage is set between 0.8V and 5V by a resistor. 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 sacrificing stability. The device supports frequency synchronization, multiphase/current sharing operation, Burst Mode operation and output voltage tracking for supply rail sequencing. The LTM4611 is available in a thermally enhanced 15mm × 15mm × 4.32mm LGA package. The LTM4611 is PB-free and RoHS compliant.

LTM4611 pin FuncTions
PLLFLTR/fSET: (B12) Phase-Locked Loop Lowpass Filter for the Internal Phase Detector. LTM4611’s default switching frequency is 500kHz. Its switching frequency can be increased by connecting a resistor from this pin to INTVCC, or decreased by connecting a resistor from this pin to SGND. See the Applications Information section. VFB: (F12) The Negative Input of the Error Amplifier. Internally, this pin is connected to VOUT_LCL with a 60.4k precision resistor. Different output voltages can be programmed with an additional resistor between the VFB and GND pins. In PolyPhase® operation, tying the VFB pins together allows for parallel operation. See the Applications Information section for details. TRACK/SS: (A9) Output Voltage Tracking Pin and SoftStart Inputs. The pin has a 1.4µA pull-up current source. A capacitor from this pin to ground will set a soft-start ramp rate. In tracking, the regulator output can be tracked to a different voltage. The different voltage is applied to a voltage divider then the slave output’s track pin. This voltage divider is equal to the slave output’s feedback divider for coincidental tracking. Tie all TRACK/SS pins together for parallel operation. See the Applications Information section. COMP: (A11) Current Control Threshold and Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The current comparator threshold increases with this control voltage. Tie all COMP pins together for parallel operation. The device is internally compensated. RUN: (A10) Run Control Pin. A voltage above 1.35V will turn on in the module. The VIN undervoltage lockout (UVLO) of the LTM4611 must be set with resistor networks from VIN to RUN and optionally from RUN to GND. Tie all RUN pins together for parallel operation. INTVCC: (A7, D9) Internal 5V LDO for Driving the Control Circuitry and the Power MOSFET Drivers. Both pins are internally connected. VOUT_LCL: (L12) This pin connects to VOUT through a 1M resistor and to VFB with a 60.4k resistor. The remote sense amplifier output DIFFVOUT is connected to VOUT_LCL, and drives the 60.4k top feedback resistor in remote sensing applications. When the remote sense amplifier is used, the DIFF_VOUT effectively eliminates the 1MΩ from VOUT to VOUT_LCL. When the remote sense amplifier is not used, then connect VOUT_LCL to VOUT directly. VOSNS+: (J12) (+) Input to the Remote Sense Amplifier. This pin connects to the output remote sense point. The remote sense amplifier is used for VOUT ≤ 3.7V. For VOUT > 3.7V, tie VOSNS+ to GND to rail the output of the remote sense amplifier. VOSNS –: (M12) (–) Input to the Remote Sense Amplifier. This pin connects to the ground remote sense point. The remote sense amplifier is used for VOUT ≤ 3.7 V. For VOUT > 3.7V, tie VOSNS – to INTVCC to rail the output of the remote sense amplifier. DIFFVOUT : (K12) Output of the Remote Sense Amplifier. This pin connects to the VOUT_LCL pin for remote sense applications. Otherwise float when not used.

INTVCC VOUT_LCL VIN R1 >1.35V = ON 7.5%. The top MOSFET is turned off and the bottom MOSFET is turned on until the output is cleared. Pulling the RUN pin below 1.1V forces the regulator into a shutdown state. The TRACK/SS pin is used for programming the output voltage ramp and voltage tracking during start-up. See the Application Information section. The LTM4611 is internally compensated to be stable over all operating conditions. Table 5 provides a guideline for input and output capacitances for several operating conditions. The Linear Technology µModule Power Design Tool will be provided for transient and stability analysis. The VFB pin is used to program the output voltage with a single external resistor to ground. A remote sense amplifier is provided for accurately sensing output voltages ≤3.7V at the load point. Multiphase operation can be easily employed with the synchronization inputs using an external clock source. See the Typical Applications. High efficiency at light loads can be accomplished with selectable Burst Mode operation using the MODE_PLLIN pin. These light-load features will accommodate battery operation. Efficiency graphs are provided for light-load operation in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.

LTM4611 applicaTions inForMaTion
The typical LTM4611 application circuit is shown in Figure 21. External component selection is primarily determined by the maximum load current and output voltage. Refer to Table 5 for specific external capacitor requirements for particular applications. VIN to VOUT Step-Down Ratios There are restrictions in the VIN to VOUT step-down ratio that can be achieved for a given input voltage. The VIN to VOUT minimum dropout is still a function of its load current at very low input voltages. A dropout voltage of 300mV from input to output of LTM4611 is achievable at 15A load, but reflected input voltage ripple and noise should be taken into consideration in such applications. Additionally, the transient-handling capability of the source supply feeding LTM4611 can become an important factor in truly achieving ultralow dropout at high output current. For example, VIN can sag or overshoot dramatically when LTM4611 responds to heavy transient step loads on its output, if insufficient input bypass capacitance is used in combination with a sluggish source supply. When VOUT is expected to be within 600mV of VIN, or when the caliber of the source supply is in question, it is recommended to evaluate the amount and quality of input bypass capacitance needed to maintain one’s target dropout voltage with the source supply that will be used in the end application. Demo Board DC1588A can be used for such evaluation. At very low duty cycles the minimum specified on-time must be maintained. See the Frequency Adjustment section and temperature derating curves. To prevent overstress to the µpower bias generator, do not ramp up VIN at a rate exceeding 5V/µs (in practice, it is difficult to violate this guideline.) There is no restriction on how rapidly VIN may be discharged. Output Voltage Programming The PWM controller has an internal 0.8V ±1.75% reference voltage over temperature. As shown in the Block Diagram, a 60.4k internal feedback resistor connects the VOUT_LCL and VFB pins together. When the remote sense amplifier is used, then DIFFVOUT is connected to the VOUT_LCL pin. If the remote sense amplifier is not used, then VOUT_LCL connects to VOUT. The output voltage will default to 0.8V with no feedback resistor. Adding a resistor RFB from VFB to GND programs the output voltage: VOUT = 0.8V • 60.4k + R FB R FB

VOUT 0.8V 1.0V 243 RFB (kΩ) Open
For parallel operation of N LTM4611s, the following equation can be used to solve for RFB: RFB = 60.4k / N VOUT –1 0.8V
Tie the VFB pins together for each parallel output. The COMP, TRACK/SS, VOUT_LCL, and RUN pins must also be tied together as shown in Figures 18 and 19. For parallel applications, best noise immunity can be achieved by placing capacitors of value CP from VFB to GND, and value CFF from VOUT to VFB, local to each µModule. If space limitations impede realizing this, then placement of capacitors of value N • CP from VFB to GND, and value N • CFF from VOUT to the bussed VFB signal, can suffice. Input Capacitors The LTM4611 module should be connected to a low AC impedance DC source. Additional input capacitors are needed for the RMS input ripple current rating. The ICIN(RMS) equation which follows can be used to calculate the input capacitor requirement. Typically 22µF X7R ceramics are a good choice with RMS ripple current ratings of ~2A each. A 100µF to 150µF surface mount aluminum electrolytic bulk capacitor can be used for more input bulk capacitance. This bulk input capacitor is only needed if the input source impedance is compromised by long inductive leads, traces or not enough source capacitance. If low impedance power planes are used, then this bulk capacitor is not needed.

For a buck converter, the switching duty cycle can be estimated as: V D = OUT VIN Without considering the inductor current ripple, for each output, the RMS current of the input capacitor can be estimated as: ICIN(RMS) = IOUT(MAX) η% • D •(1– D) Burst Mode Operation The LTM4611 is capable of Burst Mode operation in which the power MOSFETs operate intermittently based on load demand, thus saving quiescent current. For applications where maximizing the efficiency at very light loads is a high priority, Burst Mode operation should be applied. To enable Burst Mode operation, simply leave the MODE_PLLIN pin floating. During Burst Mode operation, the peak current of the inductor is set to approximately 33% of the maximum peak current value in normal operation even though the voltage at the ITH pin indicates a lower value. The voltage at the ITH pin drops when the inductor’s average current is greater than the load requirement. As the ITH voltage drops below 0.5V, the burst comparator trips, causing the internal sleep line to go high and turn off both power MOSFETs. In this sleep mode, the internal circuitry is partially turned off, reducing the LTM4611’s quiescent current while the load current is supplied by the output capacitors. When the output voltage drops–causing ITH to rise–the internal sleep line goes low and the LTM4611 resumes normal operation. The next oscillator cycle turns on the top power MOSFET and the switching cycle repeats. Pulse-Skipping Mode Operation In applications where low output ripple and high efficiency at intermediate currents are desired, pulse-skipping mode should be used. Pulse-skipping operation allows the LTM4611 to skip cycles at low output loads, thus increasing efficiency by reducing switching loss. Tying the MODE_PLLIN pin to INTVCC enables pulse-skipping operation. With pulse-skipping mode at light load, the internal current comparator may remain tripped for several cycles, thus skipping operation cycles. This mode has lower ripple than Burst Mode operation and maintains a higher frequency operation than Burst Mode operation. Forced Continuous Operation In applications where fixed frequency operation is more critical than low current efficiency, and where the lowest output ripple is desired, forced continuous operation should be used. Forced continuous operation can be
In the above equation, η% is the estimated efficiency of the power module. The bulk capacitor can be a switcher-rated electrolytic aluminum capacitor or a Polymer capacitor. Output Capacitors The LTM4611 is designed for low output voltage ripple noise. The bulk output capacitors defined as COUT are chosen with low enough effective series resistance (ESR) to meet the output voltage ripple and transient requirements. COUT can be the low ESR tantalum capacitor, the low ESR Polymer capacitor or ceramic capacitors. The typical output capacitance range is from 200µF to 800µF. Additional output filtering may be required by the system designer, if further reduction of output ripple or dynamic transient spikes is required. Table 5 shows a matrix of different output voltages and output capacitors to minimize the voltage droop and overshoot during a 7A/µs transient. The table optimizes total equivalent ESR and total bulk capacitance to optimize the transient performance. Stability criteria are considered in the Table 5 matrix, and the Linear Technology µModule Power Design Tool will be provided for stability analysis. Multiphase operation will reduce effective output ripple as a function of the number of phases. Application Note 77 discusses this noise reduction versus output ripple current cancellation, but the output capacitance should be considered carefully as a function of stability and transient response. The Linear Technology µModule Power Design Tool can calculate the output ripple reduction as the number of implemented phase’s increases by N times.

enabled by tying the MODE_PLLIN pin to GND. In this mode, inductor current is allowed to reverse during low output loads, the ITH voltage is in control of the current comparator threshold throughout, and the top MOSFET always turns on with each oscillator pulse. During start-up, forced continuous mode is disabled and inductor current is prevented from reversing until the LTM4611’s output voltage is in regulation. Multiphase Operation For outputs that demand more than 15A of load current, multiple LTM4611 devices can be paralleled to provide more output current without increasing input and output voltage ripples. The MODE_PLLIN pin allows the LTM4611 to be synchronized to an external clock (between 360kHz to 710kHz) and the internal phase-locked loop allows the LTM4611 to lock onto input clock phase as well. The PLLFLTR/fSET pin has the onboard loop filter for the PLL. See Figures 18 and 19 for a synchronizing example circuit. A multiphase power supply significantly reduces the amount of ripple current in both the input and output capacitors. The RMS input ripple current is reduced by, and

the effective ripple frequency is multiplied by, the number of phases used (assuming that the input voltage is greater than the number of phases used times the output voltage). The output ripple amplitude is also reduced by the number of phases used. See Application Note 77. The LTM4611 device is an inherently current mode controlled device, so parallel modules will have good current sharing. This will balance the thermals on the design. Tie the COMP, VOUT_LCL and VFB pins of each LTM4611 together to share the current evenly. In addition, tie the respective TRACK/SS and RUN pins of paralleled LTM4611 devices together, to ensure proper start-up and shutdown behavior. Figures 18 and 19 show schematics of LTM4611 devices operating in parallel. Input RMS Ripple Current Cancellation Application Note 77 provides a detailed explanation of multiphase operation. The input RMS ripple current cancellation mathematical derivations are presented, and a graph is displayed representing the RMS ripple current reduction as a function of the number of interleaved phases (see Figure 2).

PLL, Frequency Adjustment and Synchronization The default switching frequency of the LTM4611–with PLLFLTR/fSET left floating–is 500kHz, nominally. The PLLFLTR/fSET pin is driven to 1.23V through a high impedance (>350kΩ) network. If desired, a resistor (RfSET ) can be connected from the PLLFLTR/fSET pin to INTVCC to increase the switching frequency to as high as 780kHz, nominally. Alternatively, RfSET can instead be connected from PLLFLTR/fSET to signal ground (SGND) to decrease the switching frequency to as low as the minimum specified value of 330kHz, nominally. In practical terms, however, be advised that switching frequencies below 400kHz may be of limited benefit due to the high inductor ripple currents associated with that operating condition. See Figure 3. There exists a fundamental trade-off between switch mode DC/DC power conversion efficiency and switching frequency: higher operating module switching frequency enables the smallest overall solution size (minimized output capacitance) for a given application; whereas, lower switching frequency enables the highest efficiency for a given application (to the extent that peak and RMS inductor currents can be supported), but requires more output capacitance to maintain comparable output voltage ripple and noise characteristics. The LTM4611 can be synchronized from 360kHz to 710kHz with an input clock that has a high level above 2V and a low level below 0.6V.

The LTM4611 minimum on-time is limited to 90ns. Guardband the on-time to 130ns. The on-time can be calculated as: t ON(MIN)= 1 V OUT • FREQ VIN
Output Voltage Tracking and Soft-Start Functions Output voltage tracking can be programmed externally using the TRACK/SS pin. The output can be tracked up and down with another regulator. The master regulator’s output is divided down with an external resistor divider that is the same as the slave regulator’s feedback divider to implement coincident tracking. The LTM4611 uses an accurate 60.4k resistor internally for the top feedback resistor. Figure 4 shows an example of coincident tracking. 60.4k • V TRACK VOUT _ SLAVE = 1+ RFB2 V TRACK is the track ramp applied to the slave’s track pin. V TRACK has a control range of 0V to 0.8V, or the internal reference voltage. When the master’s output is divided down with the same resistor values used to set the slave’s output, then the slave will coincident track with the master until it reaches its final value. The master will continue to its final value from the slave’s regulation point. Voltage tracking is disabled when V TRACK is more than 0.8V. RTA in Figure 4 will be equal to the RFB2 for coincident tracking. The TRACK/SS pin of the master can be controlled by an external ramp or the soft-start function of that regulator can be used to develop that master ramp. The LTM4611 can be used as a master by setting the ramp rate on its track pin using a soft-start capacitor. A 1.4µA current source is used to charge the soft-start capacitor. The following equation can be used: C t SOFTSTART = 0.8V • SS 1.4µA

minimum to 9.8ms maximum. Tracking a rail in a manner such that TRACK/SS ramps up at a rate faster than 210V/s may also warrant special attention, as explained in the following. Faster turn-on and tracking rates are achievable, if needed: one need only decrease the default PLLFLTR/fSET RC time constant. Recall that the PLLFLTR/fSET pin is biased to 1.23V via a high impedance source (>350kΩ); also be aware that the internal PLL filter contains an initially discharged 10nF capacitor prior to INTVCC being established. Requiring the output voltage to power up rapidly without attention to the PLLFLTR/fSET time-constant results in an initial switching frequency of operation that is initially lower than expected (~250kHz)—only during the early stages of start-up—until the PLLFLTR/fSET voltage reaches steady-state value (1.23V by default).

Even for applications that do not require tracking or sequencing, a minimum recommended value for CSS is 10nF (X7R MLCC, 10% tolerance, nominal; X5R material may be substituted if the capacitor temperature will not exceed 85°C), yielding extreme turn-on rise times of 3.8ms
LTM4611 applicaTions inForMaTion
Decreasing the PLLFLTR/fSET RC time constant can be accomplished, for example, by driving the PLLFLTR/fSET pin with an external, lower impedance resistor divider network from INTVCC and GND to PLLFLTR/fSET—in the simplest of implementations, by shorting PLLFLTR/fSET to INTVCC (thereby programming the switching frequency to 780kHz, nominal), or by driving the PLLFLTR/fSET pin from a low impedance voltage source. When, in addition to needing faster turn-on time, one is also synchronizing to an external clock signal, one need bear in mind: the PLL’s sink and source current is recommended for not more than ±8µA loading, and the PLL will need to successfully drive any external PLLFLTR/fSET network impedance to achieve phase lock; and lastly, some phase shift in clock synchronization will occur as external loading on PLLFLTR/fSET becomes heavier. To be clear, using a CSS value of 10nF (or higher) eliminates the need for any of the above special considerations or provisions. Ratiometric tracking can be achieved by a few simple calculations and the slew rate value applied to the master’s TRACK/SS pin. As mentioned above, the TRACK/SS pin has a control range from 0V to 0.8V. The master’s TRACK/SS pin slew rate is directly equal to the master’s output slew rate in volts/time. The equation: MR • 60.4k = R TB SR where MR is the master’s output slew rate and SR is the slave’s output slew rate in volts/time. When coincident tracking is desired, then MR and SR are equal, thus RTB is equal to 60.4k. RTA is derived from equation: R TA = 0.8V V V V FB + FB – TRACK 60.4k RFB2 R TB In ratiometric tracking, a different slew rate maybe desired for the slave regulator. RTB can be solved for when SR is slower than MR. Make sure that the slave supply slew rate is chosen to be fast enough so that the slave output voltage will reach its final value before the master output. For example, MR = 1.5V/ms, and SR = 1.2V/ms. Then RTB = 75k. Solve for RTA to equal to 87k. Beware that without any kind of soft-start ramp up, it is important to provide thorough input filter capacitance to handle input surge currents at start-up, so as to avoid excessive input line sag and power supply motor boating. Leaving provision for at least a soft-start capacitor in one’s application is strongly recommended. Overcurrent and Overvoltage Protection The LTM4611 has overcurrent protection (OCP) in a short circuit. The internal current comparator threshold folds back during a short to reduce the output current. An overvoltage condition (OVP) above 7.5% of the regulated output voltage will force the top MOSFET off and the bottom MOSFET on until the condition is cleared. An input electronic circuit breaker or fuse can be sized to be tripped or cleared when the bottom MOSFET is turned on to protect against the overvoltage. Foldback current limiting is disabled during soft-start or tracking start-up. Run Enable The RUN pin is used to enable the power module or sequence the power module. The threshold is 1.22V. The RUN pin must be used as an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) function by connecting a resistor divider from the input supply to the RUN pin: R2 = R1 VUVLO –1 1.22V
where VFB is the feedback voltage reference of the regulator, and V TRACK is 0.8V. Since RTB is equal to the 60.4k top feedback resistor of the slave regulator in equal slew rate or coincident tracking, then RTA is equal to RFB2 with VFB = V TRACK. Therefore RTB = 60.4k, and RTA = 121k in Figure 4.
To achieve the lowest possible UVLO, 1.22V, leave R2 unpopulated. R1 can be 10k, or if R2 is unpopulated, R1 may be replaced with a hardwired connection from VIN to RUN.

See the Block Diagram for the example of use. When RUN is below its threshold, TRACK/SS is pulled low by internal circuity. INTVCC Regulator The LTM4611 has an internally regulated bias supply called INTVCC. This regulator output has a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor internal. This regulator powers the internal controller and MOSFET drivers. The gate driver current is ~13mA for 500kHz operation and ~20mA for 780kHz operation; the regulator loss is ~40mW and ~60mW, respectively. Stability Compensation The module has already been internally compensated for all output voltages. Table 5 is provided for most application requirements. The Linear Technology µModule Power Design Tool will be provided for other control loop optimization. Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating The LTM4611 output current may need to be derated if it is required to operate in a high ambient temperature or deliver a large amount of continuous power. Some factors that influence derating are input voltage, output power, ambient temperature, airflow, and elevation (air density). The power loss curves in Figures 7 to 9 and current derating curves in Figures 10 to 16 can be used as a guide. These curves were generated by an LTM4611 mounted to a 95mm × 76mm 4-layer FR4 printed circuit board (PCB) 1.6mm thick with two ounce copper for the outer layers and one ounce copper for the two inner layers. Boards of other sizes and layer count can exhibit different thermal behavior, so it is ultimately incumbent upon the user to verify proper operation over the intended system’s line, load and environmental operating conditions. The thermal resistance numbers listed in the Pin Configuration section of the data sheet are based on modeling the µModule package mounted on a test board specified per JESD51-9 (“Test Boards for Area Array Surface Mount Package Thermal Measurements”). The thermal coefficients provided 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 finite element analysis (FEA) to predict thermal performance. To that end, the Pin Configuration section of the data sheet typically gives four thermal coefficients: 1. θJA: thermal resistance from junction to ambient. 2. θJCbottom: thermal resistance from junction to the bottom of the product case. 3. θJCtop: thermal resistance from junction to top of the product case. 4. θJB: 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 in the following: 1. θJA 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 necessarily reflect an actual application or viable operating condition. 2. θJCbottom is the junction-to-board thermal resistance with all of the component power dissipation flowing through the bottom of the package. In the typical µModule, 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. 3. 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 are on the bottom of the package, it is rare for an application to operate such that most of the heat flows from the junction 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.
4611f
LTM4611 applicaTions inForMaTion
4. θJB is the junction-to-board thermal resistance where almost all of the heat flows through the bottom of the µModule 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 two sided, two 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. 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 to run a detailed thermal analysis, such as FEA, which considers all of the thermal resistances simultaneously. A graphical representation of these thermal resistances is given in Figure 5. The blue resistances are contained within the µModule, and the green are outside. The die temperature of the LTM4611 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 LTM4611. The bulk of the heat flow out of the LTM4611 is through the bottom of the module and the LGA 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 The 1.2V, 2.5V and 3.3V 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 θJA thermal resistance for the LTM4611 with various heat sinking and air flow conditions, as evaluated on the aforementioned 4-layer FR4 PCB. The power loss curves are taken at room temperature, and are increased with multiplicative factors with ambient temperature. These approximate factors are: 1 up to 50°C; 1.1 for 60°C; 1.15 for 70°C; 1.2 for 80°C; 1.25 for 90°C; 1.3 for 100°C; 1.35 for 110°C and 1.4 for 120°C. The derating curves are plotted with the output current starting at 15A and the ambient temperature at 55°C. The output voltages are 1.2V, 2.5V and 3.3V. These are chosen to include the lower and higher output voltage ranges for correlating the thermal resistance. Thermal models are derived from several temperature measurements in a controlled temperature chamber along with thermal modeling analysis. The junction temperatures are monitored while ambient temperature is increased with and without air flow, and with and without a heat sink attached with thermally conductive adhesive tape. The BGA heat sinks evaluated in Table 5 yield very comparable performance in laminar airflow despite being visibly different in construction and form factor. The power loss increase with

ambient temperature change is factored into the derating curves. The junctions are maintained at 115°C maximum while lowering output current or power while increasing ambient temperature. The decreased output current will decrease the internal module loss as ambient temperature is increased. The monitored junction temperature of 115°C minus the ambient operating temperature specifies how much module temperature rise can be allowed. As an example in Figure 11, the load current is derated to ~12A at ~75°C with no air or heat sink and the power loss for the 3.3V to 1.2V at 12A output is a 2.82W loss. The 2.82W loss is calculated with the ~2.4W room temperature loss from the 3.3V to 1.2V power loss curve at 12A (Figure 7), and the 1.175 multiplying factor at 75°C ambient. If the

75°C ambient temperature is subtracted from the 115°C junction temperature, then the difference of 40°C divided by 2.82W yields a thermal resistance, θJA, of 14.2°C/W—in good agreement with Table 2. Tables 2, 3 and 4 provide equivalent thermal resistances for 1.2V, 2.5V and 3.3V outputs with and without air flow and heat sinking. The derived thermal resistances in Tables 2, 3 and 4 for the

*The quantity and quality of bulk input bypass capacitance needed, particularly for low dropout scenarios (VIN – VOUT < 600mV) is mainly dependent on the output impedance and dynamic response of the power source feeding the LTM4611(s). Consider, in the extreme: for a heavy load step, the full transient on LTM4611’s output is directly
referred to its input, and the LTM4611 can only deliver to its output whatever the source supply and local input caps can provide. Sluggish source supplies will call for more bulk capacitance placed locally to the LTM4611’s input, to assist the source supply in riding through severe transient load steps.

Safety Considerations The LTM4611 modules do not provide galvanic isolation from VIN to VOUT. There is no internal fuse. If required, a slow blow fuse with a rating twice the maximum input current needs to be provided to protect each unit from catastrophic failure. The device does support overvoltage protection and overcurrent protection. Layout Checklist/Example The high integration of LTM4611 makes the PCB board layout very simple and easy. However, to optimize its electrical and thermal performance, some layout considerations are still necessary. • Use large PCB copper areas for high current paths, including VIN, GND and VOUT. It helps to minimize the PCB conduction loss and thermal stress. • Place high frequency ceramic input and output capacitors next to the VIN, GND 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 the pad, unless they are capped or plated over. • Use a separated SGND ground copper area for components connected to signal pins. Connect the SGND to GND underneath the unit. • For parallel modules, tie the respective COMP, VFB, VOUT_LCL, TRACK/SS and RUN pins together. Use an internal layer to closely connect these pins together. Figure 17 gives a good example of the recommended layout. Figures 18 and 19 show schematics of the LTM4611 devices operating in parallel. • To facilitate stuffing verification, test and debug activities, consider routing control signals of the LTM4611 with short traces to localized test points, test pads or test vias–as PCB layout space permits. Both in-house and contract manufacturers enjoy gaining electrical access to all non low impedance (>10Ω) pins of an IC or µModule device to improve in-circuit test (ICT) coverage.
