DEMO MANUAL DC2007A-A LTM4630EV High Efficiency, PolyPhase 70A Step-Down Power Module Regulator DESCRIPTION up and down through the TRACK pin. The output voltage is tightly regulated between VO+ and VO- through Demonstration Circuit 2007A-A features a PolyPhase remote output voltage sensing which improves output design using the LTM 4630EV, the high efficiency, voltage regulation at heavy loads. These features and high density, dual 18A, switch mode step-down power the availability of the LTM4630EV in a compact 16mm Module regulator. The input voltage is from 4.5V to 16mm 4.41mm LGA package make it ideal for use in 15V. The output voltage is jumper selectable from 0.9V many high density point-of-load regulation applications. to 1.8V.

(Optional) For an optional load transient test, apply an evaluate the performance of PolyPhase operation of the adjustable pulse signal between IOSTEP CLK and the LTM4630EV. Due to the high input/output current, the user GND test point. Pulse amplitude (3V ~ 3.5V) sets the should select the proper input supply/load/cable which load step current amplitude. The output transient current can sustain the full load operation. Its recommended to can be monitored at the BNC connector, J8 (5mV/A). The pull the load current from J2 and J4. The load current pulse signal should be a very small duty cycle (<10%) pulled from J5 and J6 shouldnt exceed 18A. Please refer to limit the thermal stress on the transient load circuit. to Figure 2 for proper measurement setup and follow the 6. (Optional) The LTM4630 can be synchronized to an procedure below: external clock signal. Place the JP1 jumper on EXT 1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical and apply a clock signal (0V ~ 5V, square wave) on the 1.0V application: EXT CLK test point. OUT 7. (Optional) The outputs of LTM4630 can track another JP1 JP2 JP4 ~ JP8 supply. The output voltage tracks the voltage on TRACK CLK RUN VOUT SELECT when a valid signal is applied on the test point. INT OFF ON JP5/1.0V 8. (Optional) The DC2007A-A can be configured to a dual 2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load output configuration with VO at 52.5A load current and and meters as shown in Figure 2. Preset the load to 0A VO2 at 18A load current. Stuff a 0 resistor on R61 and V supply to 12V. IN and a 0.1F on C14. Remove R22, R23, R24, R26, R27, R28, R32, R33, R35. Output voltage, VO2, is set by R37 3. Turn on the power supply at the input. Place JP2 to the based on the equation VO2 = 0.6V(1 + 60.4k/R37). ON position. The output voltage between VO+ and VO- should be 1.0V 1.5% (0.985V ~ 1.015V). 4. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the load within the operating range and observe the output voltage regulation, output voltage ripple, efficiency and other parameters. Output voltage ripple should be measured at J7 with BNC cables. 50 termination should be set on the oscilloscope or BNC cables. dc2007a af 2
