Apply input voltage between these pins and GND pins. Recommend placing input decoupling capacitance directly between VIN pins and GND pins. fADJ (Pin A15): A 110k resistor from VIN to this pin sets the one-shot timer current, thereby setting the switching frequency. The LTM4600 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. SVIN (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 EXTVCC voltage should never be higher than VIN. VOSET (Pin A21): The Negative Input of The Error Amplifier. Internally, this pin is connected to VOUT with a 100k precision resistor. Different output voltages can be programmed with additional resistors between the VOSET and SGND pins. COMP (Pin B23): Current Control Threshold and Error Amplifier Compensation Point.

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 VIN 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.

It can deliver up to 10A 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 0.6VDC to 5.0VDC, not to exceed 80% of the input voltage. The input voltage range is 4.5V to 20V. A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 1 and the typical application schematic is shown in Figure 17. The LTM4600 contains an integrated LTC constant on-time current-mode regulator, ultra-low RDS(ON) FETs with fast switching speed and integrated Schottky diode. The typical switching frequency is 800kHz at full load. With current mode control and internal feedback loop compensation, the LTM4600 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 (X5R or X7R). Current mode control provides cycle-by-cycle fast current limit. In addition, foldback current limiting is provided in an over-current condition while VFB drops. Also, the LTM4600 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 8 U ±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 softstart capacitor. When this voltage reaches 1.5V, the controller turns on and begins switching. At low load current the module works in continuous current mode by default to achieve minimum output voltage ripple. It can be programmed to operate in discontinuous current mode for improved light load efficiency 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 VIN 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 applied on the EXTVCC pin, the internal regulator is turned off, and an internal switch connects EXTVCC 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 EXTVCC pin is 6V. The EXTVCC voltage should never be higher than the VIN voltage. Also EXTVCC must be sequenced after VIN. 4600fa LTM4600 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The typical LTM4600 application circuit is shown in Figure 17. External component selection is primarily determined by the maximum load current and output voltage. Output Voltage Programming and Margining The PWM controller of the LTM4600 has an internal 0.6V±1% reference voltage. As shown in the block diagram, a 100k/0.5% internal feedback resistor connects VOUT and FB pins. Adding a resistor RSET from VOSET pin to SGND pin programs the output voltage: VO = 0.6V • 100k + RSET RSET Table 1 shows the standard vaules of 1% RSET resistor for typical output voltages: Table 1. RSET (kΩ) VO (V) Open 0.6 100 1.2 66.5 1.5 49.9 1.8 43.2 2 31.6 2.5 22.1 3.3 13.7 5 Voltage margining is the dynamic adjustment of the output voltage to its worst case operating range in production testing to stress the load circuitry, verify control/protection functionality of the board and improve the system reliability. Figure 2 shows how to implement margining function with the LTM4600. In addition to the feedback resistor RSET, several external components are added. Turn off both transistor QUP and QDOWN to disable the margining. When QUP is on and QDOWN is off, the output voltage is margined up. The output voltage is margined LTM4600 VOUT RDOWN 100k QDOWN VOSET PGND SGND RSET 2N7002 RUP QUP 2N7002 4600 F02 Figure 2. 4600fa U down when QDOWN is on and QUP is off. If the output voltage VO needs to be margined up/down by ±M%, the resistor values of RUP and RDOWN can be calculated from the following equations: (RSET RUP )• VO •(1+ M%) = 0.6V (RSET RUP ) + 100kΩ RSET • VO •(1– M%) = 0.6V RSET + (100kΩ RDOWN) Input Capacitors The LTM4600 µModule should be connected to a low ac-impedance DC source. High frequency, low ESR input capacitors are required to be placed adjacent to the module. In Figure 20, the bulk input capacitor CIN is selected for its ability to handle the large RMS current into the converter. For a buck converter, the switching duty-cycle can be estimated as: D= VO VIN Without considering the inductor current ripple, the RMS current of the input capacitor can be estimated as: ICIN(RMS) = IO(MAX) • D •(1− D) η% In the above equation, η% is the estimated efficiency of the power module. C1 can be a switcher-rated electrolytic aluminum capacitor, OS-CON capacitor or high volume ceramic capacitors. Note the capacitor ripple current ratings are often based on only 2000 hours of life. This makes it advisable to properly derate the input capacitor, or choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than required. Always contact the capacitor manufacturer for derating requirements. In Figure 16, the input capacitors are used as high frequency input decoupling capacitors. In a typical 10A output application, 1-2 pieces of very low ESR X5R or X7R, 10µF ceramic capacitors are recommended. This decoupling capacitor should be placed directly adjacent W U U 9 LTM4600 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO the module input pins in the PCB layout to minimize the trace inductance and high frequency AC noise. Output Capacitors The LTM4600 is designed for low output voltage ripple. The bulk output capacitors COUT is chosen with low enough effective series resistance (ESR) to meet the output voltage ripple and transient requirements. COUT 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 sufficient stability margin for all ceramic capacitors applications. Additional output filtering 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 capacitance matrix for each output voltage Droop, peak to peak deviation and recovery time during a 5A/µs transient with a specific output capacitance. Fault Conditions: Current Limit and Over current Foldback The LTM4600 has a current mode controller, which inherently 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 condition, the LTM4600 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. 10 U Soft-Start and Latchoff with the RUN/SS pin The RUN/SS pin provides a means to shut down the LTM4600 as well as a timer for soft-start and over-current latchoff. Pulling the RUN/SS pin below 0.8V puts the LTM4600 into a low quiescent current shutdown (IQ ≤ 75µA). Releasing the pin allows an internal 1.2µA current source to charge up the timing capacitor CSS. Inside LTM4600, there is an internal 1000pF capacitor from RUN/SS pin to ground. If RUN/SS pin has an external capacitor CSS_EXT to ground, the delay before starting is about: tDELAY = 1.5V •(C SS _ EXT + 1000pF ) 1.2µA When the voltage on RUN/SS pin reaches 1.5V, the LTM4600 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. VIN to VOUT Stepdown Ratios There are restrictions in the maximum VIN to VOUT step down ratio that can be achieved for a given input voltage. These contraints are shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics curves labeled “VIN to VOUT Stepdown Ratio”. Note that additional thermal de-rating may apply.

After the RUN/SS pin charges above 4V, if the output voltage falls below 75% of its regulated value, then a short-circuit fault is assumed. A 1.8µA current then begins discharging CSS. If the fault condition persists until the RUN/SS pin drops to 3.5V, then the controller turns off both power MOSFETs, shuting down the converter permanently. The RUN/SS pin must be actively pulled down to ground in order to restart operation. The over-current protection timer requires the soft-start timing capacitor CSS be made large enough to guarantee that the output is in regulation by the time CSS has reached the 4V threshold. In general, this will depends upon the size of the output capacitance, output voltage and load current characteristic. A minimum external soft-start capacitor can be estimated from: C SS _ EXT + 1000pF > C OUT • VOUT (10–3 [F / VS ]) Generally 0.1µF is more than sufficient. Since the load current is already limited by the current mode control and current foldback circuitry during a shortcircuit, over-current latchoff operation is NOT always needed or desired, especially the output has large amount of capacitance or the load draw huge current during start up. The latchoff feature can be overridden by a pull-up current greater than 5µA but less than 80µA to the RUN/SS pin. The additional current prevents the discharge of CSS during a fault and also shortens the soft-start period. Using a resistor from RUN/SS pin to VIN is a simple solution 12 U to defeat latchoff. Any pull-up network must be able to maintain RUN/SS above 4V maximum latchoff threshold and overcome the 4µA maximum discharge current.

Output Voltage Tracking with the LTC2923 Controller U cident, ratiometric and offset tracking for VO rising and falling can be implemented with different sets of resistor values. See the LTC2923 data sheet for more details. EXTVCC Connection An internal low dropout regulator produces an internal 5V supply that powers the control circuitry and FET drivers. Therefore, if the system does not have a 5V power rail, the LTM4600 can be directly powered by VIN. The gate driver current through LDO is about 18mA. The internal LDO power dissipation can be calculated as: PLDO_LOSS = 18mA • (VIN – 5V) The LTM4600 also provides an external gate driver voltage pin EXTVCC. If there is a 5V rail in the system, it is recommended to connect EXTVCC pin to the external 5V rail. Whenever the EXTVCC pin is above 4.7V, the internal 5V LDO is shut off and an internal 50mA P-channel switch connects the EXTVCC to internal 5V. Internal 5V is supplied from EXTVCC until this pin drops below 4.5V. Do not apply more than 6V to the EXTVCC pin and ensure that EXTVCC < VIN. The following list summaries the possible connections for EXTVCC: 1. EXTVCC grounded. Internal 5V LDO is always powered from the internal 5V regulator. 2. EXTVCC connected to an external supply. Internal LDO is shut off. A high efficiency supply compatible with the MOSFET gate drive requirements (typically 5V) can improve overall efficiency. With this connection, it is always required that the EXTVCC voltage can not be higher than VIN pin voltage. Discontinuous Operation and FCB Pin The FCB pin determines whether the internal bottom MOSFET remains on when the inductor current reverses. There is an internal 4.75k pulling down resistor connecting this pin to ground. The default light load operation mode is forced continuous (PWM) current mode. This mode provides minimum output voltage ripple. 1.5V 4600fa W U U 13 LTM4600 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO In the application where the light load efficiency is important, tying the FCB pin above 0.6V threshold enables discontinuous operation where the bottom MOSFET turns off when inductor current reverses. Therefore, the conduction loss is minimized and light load efficient is improved. The penalty is that the controller may skip cycle and the output voltage ripple increases at light load. Paralleling Operation with Load Sharing Two or more LTM4600 modules can be paralleled to provide higher than 10A output current. Figure 7 shows the necessary interconnection between two paralleled modules. The OPTI-LOOP™ current mode control ensures good current sharing among modules to balance the thermal stress. The new feedback equation for two or more LTM4600s in parallel is: 100k + RSET N VOUT = 0.6 V • RSET where N is the number of LTM4600s in parallel.

Thermal models are derived from several temperature measurements at the bench, and thermal modeling analysis. Application Note 103 provides a detailed explanation of the analysis for the thermal models, and the derating curves. Tables 3 and 4 provide a summary of the equivalent θJA for the noted conditions. These equivalent θJA parameters are correlated to the measure values, and improved with air-flow. The case temperature is maintained at 100°C or below for the derating curves. This allows for 4W maximum power dissipation in the total module with top and bottom heatsinking, and 2W power dissipation through the top of the module with an approximate θJC between 6°C/W to 9°C/W. This equates to a total of 124°C at the junction of the device. Safety Considerations The LTM4600 modules do not provide isolation from VIN to VOUT. There is no internal fuse. If required, a slow blow fuse with a rating twice the maximum input current should be provided to protect each unit from catastrophic failure. 4600fa W U U LTM4600 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO 4.5 4.0 MAXIMUM LOAD CURRENT (A) 9 8 7 6 5 4 0 LFM 200 LFM 400 LFM 50 60 80 70 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (°C) 90 4600 F09 VOUT = 1.5V 10 3.5 POWER LOSS (W) 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 0 2 6 8 4 OUTPUT CURRENT (A) 10 4600 F08 MAXIMUM LOAD CURRENT (A) 12V LOSS 5V LOSS Figure 8.

However, to optimize its electrical and thermal performance, some layout considerations are still necessary. • Use large PCB copper areas for high current path, including VIN, PGND 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, 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 via directly on pad • Use a separated SGND ground copper area for components connected to signal pins. Connect the SGND to PGND underneath the unit Figure 16 gives a good example of the recommended layout. VIN SGND CIN PGND VOUT LOAD TOP LAYER 4600 F16 Figure 16. Recommended PCB Layout U Frequency Adjustment The LTM4600 is designed to typically operate at 800kHz across most input and output conditions. The fADJ pin is typically left open or decoupled with an optional 1000pf capacitor. The switching frequency has been optimized for maintaining constant output ripple noise over the operating ranges. The switching frequency will increase up to typically 1.2MHz for 5V and 3.3V outputs to limit increase output ripple noise. The switching frequency can be adjusted lower to accommodate high duty cycle requirements like 5V to 3.3V, and 12V to 5V. There are limitations to input voltage range for the higher duty cycle designs that limit the internal inductor ripple current so that the inductor will not saturate at higher load current.

Using the frequency = (ION/[2.4V • 10pF]) • DC, solve for ION = (1MHz • 2.4V • 10pF) • (1/0.41) ≅ 58µA. ION current calculated from 12V input was 103µA, so a resistor from fADJ to ground = (0.7V/15k) = 46µA. 103µA – 46µA = 57µA, sets the adequate ION current for proper frequency range for the higher duty cycle conversion of 12V to 5V.
