The LTM4631 is a dual 10A or single 20A output switching mode step-down DC/DC μModule® (power module) regulator. Included in the package are the switching controller, power FETs, inductors and all supporting components. Operating from an input voltage range of 4.5V to 15V, the LTM4631 supports two outputs each with an output voltage range of 0.6V to 1.8V, each set by a single external resistor. Its high efficiency design delivers up to 10A continuous current for each output. Only a few input and output capacitors are needed.

The device supports frequency synchronization, multiphase operation, Burst Mode operation and output voltage tracking for supply rail sequencing and has an onboard temperature diode for device temperature monitoring. High switching frequency and a current mode architecture enable a very fast transient response to line and load changes without sacrificing stability.

Fault protection features include overvoltage and overcurrent protection. The LTM4631 is offered in an ultrathin 16mm × 16mm × 1.91mm LGA and 16mm x 16mm x 2.51mm BGA packages. The LTM4631 is available with SnPb (BGA) or ROHS compliant terminal finish.

Evaluation Kits

DC2268A-G

LTM4631 Demo Board | Dual 10A or Single 20A μModule Regulator

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2268A-G is a high efficiency, high density, dual 10A, switch mode step-down power supply on a compact 1.5-inch × 1.2-inch PCB. It features the LTM4631 µModule® regulator. The input voltage is from 4.5V to 15V. The output voltage is programmable from 0.6V to 1.8V. DC2268A-G can deliver up to 10A maximum in each channel. As explained in the data sheet, output current derating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT, and thermal conditions. The board operates in continuous conduction mode in heavy load conditions. For high efficiency at low load currents, the resistor jumper (R1/R2) selects pulse-skipping mode for noise sensitive applications or Burst Mode® operation in less noise sensitive applications. Two outputs can be connected in parallel for a single 20A output solution with optional jumper resistors.

The board allows the user to program how its output ramps up and down through the TRACK/SS pin. Remote output voltage sensing is available for improved output voltage regulation at the load point. An optional input inductor L1 reduces the EMI noise for noise sensitive applications. DC2268A can be easily inserted to an edge connector for testing and debugging. These features and the availability of the LTM4631 in a compact 16mm × 16mm × 4.41mm LGA package make it ideal for use in many high density point-of-load regulation applications. The LTM4631 data sheet must be read in conjunction with the demo manual for working on or modifying the DC2268A-G.

LTM4631 Demo Board | Buck Module Regulator, 4.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 15V, VOUT1/VOUT2 = 1.2V/1.0V @ 10A

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2147A features the LTM4631, the high efficiency, high density, dual 10A, switch mode step-down μModule® power module regulator in an ultrathin 1.91mm height package. The input voltage is from 4.5V to 15V and the demo board provides 1.2V and 1V outputs at up to 10A maximum from each channel. As explained in the data sheet, output current derating is necessary for certain VIN , VOUT , and thermal conditions.


The board operates in continuous conduction mode in heavy load conditions. For high efficiency at low load currents, the MODE jumper (JP1) selects pulse-skipping mode for noise sensitive applications or Burst Mode® operation in less noise sensitive applications. Two outputs can be connected in parallel for a single 20A output solution with optional jumper resistors. The board allows the user to program how its output ramps up and down through the TRACK/SS pin. The output can be set up to either coincidentally or ratio-metrically track with another supply’s output. Remote output voltage sensing is available for improved output voltage regulation at the load point. These features and the availability of the LTM4631 in a compact 16mm × 16mm × 1.91mm LGA package make it ideal for use in many high density point-of-load regulation applications. The LTM4631 data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual for working on or modifying the demo circuit DC2147A.
