DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4602 is a complete 6A DC/DC step down power supply. Included in the package are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor, and all support components. Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V, the LTM4602 supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V, set by a single resistor. This high efficiency design delivers 6A continuous current (8A peak), needing no heat sinks or airflow to meet power specifications. Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to finish the design. The low profile package (2.8mm) enables utilization of unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density point of load regulation. High switching frequency and an adaptive on-time current mode architecture enables a very fast transient response to line and load changes without sacrificing stability. Fault protection features include integrated overvoltage and short circuit protection with a defeatable shutdown timer. A built-in soft-start timer is adjustable with a small capacitor. The LTM4602 is packaged in a thermally enhanced, compact (15mm × 15mm) and low profile (2.8mm) over-molded Land Grid Array (LGA) package suitable for automated assembly by standard surface mount equipment. For the 4.5V to 28V input range version, refer to the LTM4602HV.

Light Load Efficiency vs Load Current with 12VIN (FCB > 0.7V, COUT • 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 short circuit, overcurrent latchoff operation is NOT always needed or desired, especially if the output has large capacitance or the load draws high 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 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. Figure 3 shows a conceptual drawing of VRUN during start-up and short circuit.

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 LTM4602 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 LTM4602 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

Output Voltage Tracking For the applications that require output voltage tracking, several LTM4602 modules can be programmed by the power supply tracking controller such as the LTC2923. Figure 6 shows a typical schematic with LTC2923. Coincident, ratiometric and offset tracking for VOUT rising and falling can be implemented with different sets of resistor values. See the LTC2923 data sheet for more details.

The FCB pin determines whether the internal bottom MOSFET remains on when the inductor current reverses. There is an internal 4.75k pull-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. 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 conduc-

tion loss is minimized and light load efficiency 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 LTM4602 modules can be paralleled to provide higher than 6A 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 LTM4602s in parallel is: 100k + RSET N VOUT = 0.6V • RSET where N is the number of LTM4602s in parallel. Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating The power loss curves in Figures 8 and 13 can be used in coordination with the load current derating curves in Figures 9 to 12, and Figures 14 to 15 for calculating an approximate θJA for the module with various heat
sinking methods. 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 measured values, and improve 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 heat sinking, 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. The θJA values in Tables 3 and 4 can be used to derive the derating curves for other output voltages. Safety Considerations The LTM4602 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.

Layout Checklist/Example The high integration of the LTM4602 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 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 vias directly on pads unless they are capped.
• Use a separated SGND ground copper area for components connected to signal pins. Connect the SGND to PGND underneath the unit. Figure 18 gives a good example of the recommended layout. LTM4602 Frequency Adjustment The LTM4602 is designed to typically operate at 850kHz across most input and output conditions. The control architecture is constant on time valley mode current control. The fADJ pin is typically left open or decoupled with an optional 1000pF capacitor. The switching frequency has been optimized to maintain constant output ripple over the operating conditions. The equations for setting the operating frequency are set around a programmable constant on time. This on time is developed by a programmable current into an on board 10pF capacitor that establishes a ramp that is compared to a voltage threshold equal to the output voltage up to a 2.4V clamp. This ION current is equal to: ION = (VIN – 0.7V)/110k, with the 110k onboard resistor

to ~1.2MHz for 3.3V, and ~1.7MHz for 5V outputs due to Frequency = (DC/tON) When the switching frequency increases to 1.2MHz, then the time period tS is reduced to ~833 nanoseconds and at 1.7MHz the switching period reduces to ~588 nanoseconds. When higher duty cycle conversions like 5V to 3.3V and 12V to 5V need to be accommodated, then the switching frequency can be lowered to alleviate the violation of the 400ns minimum off time. Since the total switching period is tS = tON + tOFF, tOFF will be below the 400ns minimum off time. A resistor from the fADJ pin to ground can shunt current away from the on time generator, thus allowing for a longer on time and a lower switching frequency. 12V to 5V and 5V to 3.3V derivations are explained in the data sheet to lower switching frequency and accommodate these step-down conversions. Equations for setting frequency for 12V to 5V: ION = (VIN – 0.7V)/110k; ION = 103μA frequency = (ION/[2.4V • 10pF]) • DC = 1.79MHz; DC = duty cycle, duty cycle is (VOUT/VIN) tS = tON + tOFF, tON = on-time, tOFF = off-time of the switching period; tS = 1/frequency tOFF must be greater than 400ns, or tS – tON > 400ns. tON = DC • tS 1MHz frequency or 1μs period is chosen for 12V to 5V. tON = 0.41 • 1μs ≅ 410ns tOFF = 1μs – 410ns ≅ 590ns tON and tOFF are above the minimums with adequate guard band. 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. Input voltage range is limited to 9V to 16V. Higher input voltages can be used without the 15k on fADJ. The inductor ripple current gets too high above 16V, and the 400ns minimum off-time is limited below 9V.

from VIN to fADJ. The on time is equal to tON = (VOUT/ION) • 10pF and tOFF = ts – tON. The frequency is equal to: Freq. = DC/tON. The ION current is proportional to VIN, and the regulator duty cycle is inversely proportional to VIN, therefore the step-down regulator will remain relatively constant frequency as the duty cycle adjustment takes place with lowering VIN. The on time is proportional to VOUT up to a 2.4V clamp. This will hold frequency relatively constant with different output voltages up to 2.4V. The regulator switching period is comprised of the on time and off time as depicted in Figure 19.

The LTM4602 has a minimum (tON) on time of 100 nanoseconds and a minimum (tOFF) off time of 400 nanoseconds. The 2.4V clamp on the ramp threshold as a function of VOUT will cause the switching frequency to increase by the ratio of VOUT/2.4V for 3.3V and 5V outputs. This is due to the fact the on time will not increase as VOUT increases past 2.4V. Therefore, if the nominal switching frequency is 850kHz, then the switching frequency will increase

Frequency range is about 450kHz to 650kHz from 4.5V to 7V input. tON = 0.66 • 2.22μs ≅ 1.46μs tOFF = 2.22μs – 1.46μs ≅ 760ns tON and tOFF are above the minimums with adequate guard band. Using the frequency = (ION/[2.4V • 10pF]) • DC, solve for ION = (450kHz • 2.4V • 10pF) • (1/0.66) ≅ 16μA. ION current calculated from 5V input was 39μA, so a resistor from fADJ to ground = (0.7V/30.1k) = 23μA. 39μA – 23μA = 16μA, sets the adequate ION current for proper frequency range for the higher duty cycle conversion of 5V to 3.3V. Input voltage range is limited to 4.5V to 7V. Higher input voltages can be used without the 30.1k on fADJ. The inductor ripple current gets too high above 7V, and the 400ns minimum off-time is limited below 4.5V. In 12V to 3.3V applications, if a 35k resistor is added from the fADJ pin to ground, then a 2% efficiency gain will be achieved as shown in the 12V efficiency graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics. This is due to the lower transition losses in the power MOSFETs after lowering the switching frequency down from 1.3MHz to 950kHz.
