The LTM4639 is a complete 20A output high efficiency switch mode step-down DC/DC μModule (power module) regulator. Included in the package are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor and compensation components. Operating over an input voltage range from 2.375V to 7V, the LTM4639 supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5.5V, set by a single external resistor. Only a few input and output capacitors are needed.

Current mode operation allows precision current sharing of up to four LTM4639 regulators to obtain up to 80A output. High switching frequency and a current mode architecture enable a very fast transient response to line and load changes without sacrificing stability. The device supports frequency synchronization, multiphase/current sharing, Burst Mode operation and output voltage tracking for supply rail sequencing. A diode-connected PNP transistor is included for use as an internal temperature monitor. For up to 20V input operation, please see the LTM4637.

The LTM4639 is offered in a 15mm × 15mm × 4.92mm BGA package. The LTM4639 is RoHS compliant.

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2166A features the LTM4639EY, a 20A high efficiency, switch mode step-down power μModule® regulator. The input voltage range is from 2.375V to 7V. The output voltage range is 0.6V to 5.5V. Derating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT, frequency and thermal conditions. The DC2166A offers the TRACK/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 jumper (JP3) selects pulse-skipping mode for noise sensitive applications or Burst Mode® operation in less noise sensitive applications. There is an on board boost circuit using LT1935 to provide control power to LTM4639 when VIN is less than 4.5V. LTM4639 has on board diode connected PNP transistors to monitor its internal temperature. A temperature sensor LTC2997 converts the internal temperature to an analog voltage output. The LTM4639 data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual prior to working on or modifying demo circuit DC2166A.
