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
CC
to SV
IN
(change R22 from OPT to 0Ω), DRV
CC
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
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.
