LTM4601AHV 12A, 28VIN DC/DC µModule with PLL, Output Tracking and Margining DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4601AHV is a complete 12A step-down switch mode DC/DC power supply with onboard switching controller, MOSFETs, inductor and all support components. The μModule is housed in a small surface mount 15mm × 15mm × 2.8mm LGA package. The LTM4601AHV LGA package is designed with redundant mounting pads to enhance solder-joint strength for extended temperature cycling endurance. Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5 to 28V, the LTM4601AHV supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V as well as output voltage tracking and margining. The high efficiency design delivers 12A continuous current (14A peak). Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to complete the design. The low profile (2.8mm) and light weight (1.7g) package easily mounts in 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. An onboard differential remote sense amplifier can be used to accurately regulate an output voltage independent of load current.

LTM4601AHV PIN FUNCTIONS
(See Package Description for Pin Assignment)
VIN (Bank 1): Power Input Pins. Apply input voltage between these pins and PGND pins. Recommend placing input decoupling capacitance directly between VIN pins and PGND pins. VOUT (Bank 3): Power Output Pins. Apply output load between these pins and PGND pins. Recommend placing output decoupling capacitance directly between these pins and PGND pins. Review the figure below. PGND (Bank 2): Power ground pins for both input and output returns. VOSNS– (Pin M12): (–) Input to the Remote Sense Amplifier. This pin connects to the ground remote sense point. The remote sense amplifier is used for VOUT ≤3.3V. VOSNS+ (Pin J12): (+) Input to the Remote Sense Amplifier. This pin connects to the output remote sense point. The remote sense amplifier is used for VOUT ≤3.3V. DIFFVOUT (Pin K12): Output of the Remote Sense Amplifier. This pin connects to the VOUT_LCL pin. DRVCC (Pin E12): This pin normally connects to INTVCC for powering the internal MOSFET drivers. This pin can be biased up to 6V from an external supply with about 50mA capability, or an external circuit shown in Figure 18. This improves efficiency at the higher input voltages by reducing power dissipation in the module. INTVCC (Pin A7, D9): This pin is for additional decoupling of the 5V internal regulator. These pins are internally connected. Pin A7 is a test pin.
TOP VIEW INTVCC PLLIN TRACK/SS RUN COMP MPGM
PLLIN (Pin A8): External Clock Synchronization Input to the Phase Detector. This pin is internally terminated to SGND with a 50k resistor. Apply a clock above 2V and below INTVCC. See Applications Information. TRACK/SS (Pin A9): Output Voltage Tracking and Soft- Start Pin. When the module is configured as a master output, then a soft-start capacitor is placed on this pin to ground to control the master ramp rate. A soft-start capacitor can be used for soft-start turn on as a stand alone regulator. Slave operation is performed by putting a resistor divider from the master output to the ground, and connecting the center point of the divider to this pin. See Applications Information. MPGM (Pins A12, B11): Programmable Margining Input. A resistor from this pin to ground sets a current that is equal to 1.18V/R. This current multiplied by 10kΩ will equal a value in millivolts that is a percentage of the 0.6V reference voltage. See Applications Information. To parallel LTM4601AHVs, each requires an individual MPGM resistor. Do not tie MPGM pins together. Both pins are internally connected. Pin A12 is a test pin. fSET (Pins B12, C11): Frequency Set Internally to 850kHz. An external resistor can be placed from this pin to ground to increase frequency. This pin can be decoupled with a 1000pF capacitor. See Applications Information for frequency adjustment. Both pins are internally connected. Pin B12 is a test pin. VFB (Pin F12): The Negative Input of the Error Amplifier. Internally, this pin is connected to VOUT_LCL pin with a 60.4k precision resistor. Different output voltages can be programmed with an additional resistor between VFB and SGND pins. See Applications Information. MARG0 (Pin C12): This pin is the LSB logic input for the margining function. Together with the MARG1 pin will determine if margin high, margin low or no margin state is applied. The pin has an internal pull-down resistor of 50k. See Applications Information. MARG1 (Pin D12): This pin is the MSB logic input for the margining function. Together with the MARG0 pin will determine if margin high, margin low or no margin state is applied. The pin has an internal pull-down resistor of 50k. See Applications Information.

LTM4601AHV PIN FUNCTIONS
(See Package Description for Pin Assignment)
SGND (Pins H12, H11, G11): Signal Ground. These pins connect to PGND at output capacitor point. See Figure 17. COMP (Pin A11): Current Control Threshold and Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The current comparator threshold increases with this control voltage. The voltage ranges from 0V to 2.4V with 0.7V corresponding to zero sense voltage (zero current). PGOOD (Pins G12, F11): Output Voltage Power Good Indicator. Open-drain logic output that is pulled to ground when the output voltage is not within ±10% of the regulation point, after a 25μs power bad mask timer expires.
RUN (Pin A10): Run Control Pin. A voltage above 1.9V will turn on the module, and when below 1V, will turn off the module. A programmable UVLO function can be accomplished with a resistor from VIN to this pin that has a 5.1V zener to ground. Maximum pin voltage is 5V. Limit current into the RUN pin to less than 1mA. VOUT_LCL (Pin L12): VOUT connects directly to this pin to bypass the remote sense amplifier, or DIFFVOUT connects to this pin when remote sense amplifier is used. MTP1, MTP2, MPT3 (Pins C10, D10, D11 ): Extra Mounting Pads with No Internal Connection. These pads are used for increased solder integrity strength.
