Product Details

The LTM4650 is a dual 25A or single 50A output switching mode step-down DC/DC μModule^® (power module) regulator. Included in the package are the switching controllers, power FETs, inductors, and all supporting components. Operating from an input voltage range of 4.5V to 15V, the LTM4650 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 25A continuous current for each output. Only a few input and output capacitors are needed. The LTM4650 is pin compatible with the LTM4620 (dual 13A, single 26A) and the LTM4630 (dual 18A, single 36A).

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 LTM4650 is offered in a 16mm × 16mm × 5.01mm BGA package.

DC2481B-A

View Detailed Evaluation Kit Information

Demonstration circuit 2481B-A is a high efficiency, high density, μModule^® regulator with 4.5V to 15V input range. The output voltage is adjustable from 0.6V to 1.8V, and it can supply 86A maximum load current. The demo board has 1× LTM4677 and 1× LTM4650 μModule regulators. The LTM4677 is a dual 18A or single 36A step-down regulator with PMBus power system management, and the LTM4650 is a dual 25A or single 50A step-down regulator. Please see LTM4677 and LTM4650 data sheets for more detailed information.

DC2481B-A powers up to default settings and produce power based on configuration resistors without the need for any serial bus communication. This allows easy evaluation of the DC/DC converter. To fully explore the extensive power system management features of the part, download the GUI software LTpowerPlay^® onto your PC and use Analog Devices I²C/SMBus/PMBus dongle DC1613A to connect to the board. LTpowerPlay allows the user to reconfigure the part on the fly and store the configuration in EEPROM, view telemetry of voltage, current, temperature and fault status.

For more details and instructions of LTpowerPlay, please refer to LTpowerPlay Software GUI.

DC2378A-A

View Detailed Evaluation Kit Information

Demonstration circuit DC2378A-A features the LTM4650EY, the high efficiency, high density, dual 25A, single 50A, switch mode step-down power module regulator. The input voltage is from 4.5V to 15V. The output voltage is programmable from 0.6V to 1.8V. DC2378A-A can deliver 25A maximum current from each channel. As explained in the data sheet, output current derating is necessary for certain V_IN, V_OUT, 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 50A output solution with optional jumper resistors.

Demonstration circuit 2479A-A features the LTM4650EY, the high efficiency, high density, dual 25A, single 50A switch mode step-down power module regulator. The input voltage is from 4.5V to 15V. The output voltage is programmable from 0.6V to 1.8V. DC2479A-A is configured as dual-phase, single-output, which can deliver up to 50A maximum. The board designs with minimum components to demonstrate this high efficiency, high density μModule. As explained in the data sheet, output current de-rating is necessary for certain V_IN, V_OUT, and thermal conditions. These features and the availability of the LTM4650EY in a compact 16mm × 16mm × 5.01mm BGA package make it ideal for use in many high-density point-of-load applications. The LTM4650 data sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual for working on or modifying the demo circuit DC2479A-A.
