DEMO MANUAL DC1245A
LTM4616
Dual 2.7V
IN(MIN)
, 8A Step-Down
µModule Regulator
Description
Demonstration circuit 1245A features the
LTM
®
4616,
the
high efficiency, high density, dual output switch mode
power module. The rated load current is 8A for each chan-
nel, while derating is necessary for certain V
IN
, V
OUT
, and
thermal conditions. By applying a clock signal to the CLKIN
pin, the module’s switching frequency may be synchronized
from 0.75MHz to 2.25MHz. The same clock frequency is
available at the CLKOUT pin with the phase relationship
between CLKIN and CLKOUT determined by the PHMODE
pin. This feature can be used not only to reduce undesirable
frequency harmonics but also to parallel the two channels
of LTM4616 or even multiple LTM4616s and LTM4608s to
provide higher output currents. The LTM4616 data sheet
must be read in conjunction with this demo manual prior
to working on or modifying demo circuit DC1245A.

DEMO MANUAL DC1245A
qUick stArt proceDUre
Demonstration circuit 1245A is an easy way to evaluate
the performance of the LTM4616. Please refer to Figure 1
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical

4. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust
the load within the operating range and observe the
output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and
other parameters. To measure input and output ripple,
please refer to Figure 2 for proper setup.
5. To synchronize channel 1 to an external clock, please
apply the desired clock signal to CLKIN and SGND1.
The external clock signal should have amplitude of at
least 2V but less than V
IN
.
6. V
OUT1
can track another supply connected at TP20 as
determined by resistors R6 and R17. V
OUT2
is set up
to track V
OUT1
in a manner determined by resistors
R15 and R16. By default both resistor pairs have been
selected to support coincident tracking. Please refer to
Figure 6 for reference.
2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load
and meters as shown in Figure 1. Preset the load to 0A
and V
IN
supply within the 2.7V to 5.5V operating range.
3. Turn on the power at the input. The output voltage at
VO1
+
and VO1
–
should be 1.8V ±2% and the voltage
at VO2
+
and VO2
–
should be 1.2V ±2%.
