DEMO MANUAL DC2681A-A

DESCRIPTION

LTM4645 

25A DC/DC Step-Down 

µModule Regulator 

Demonstration circuit DC2681A-A features the 

LTM

4645EY, a 25A high efficiency, switch mode step-

down power µModule

 regulator. The input voltage 

range is from 6V to 15V. To use DC2681A-A for input 

voltage range from 4.7V to 6V, connect INTV

 to V

IN

 (change 

R21 from 0Ω to OPT, R28 from OPT to 0Ω). The output 

voltage range is 0.6V to 1.8V. Derating is necessary for 

certain V

, frequency and thermal conditions. The 

DC2681A-A offers the TRK/SS pin allowing the user to 

program output tracking or soft-start period. The board 

operates in continuous conduction mode in heavy load 

conditions. For high efficiency at low load currents, the 

MODE_PLLIN jumper selects pulse-skipping mode for 

noise sensitive applications or burst mode operation in

less noise sensitive applications. The MODE_PLLIN pin 

also allows the 

LTM4645

 to synchronize to an external 

clock signal (between 400kHz and 800kHz). DC2681A-A 

has the option of choosing both internal and external 

compensation circuit for LTM4645. Tying the PHASMD 

pin to different voltage generates certain phase differ-

ence between MODE_PLLIN and CLKOUT. The LTM4645 

data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo 

manual prior to working on or modifying demo circuit 

DC2681A-A.
