Complete Solution in <1cm (Single-Sided PCB) or  
The LTM®4657 is a complete 8A step-down switching  
mode µModule (micromodule) regulator in a tiny 6.25mm  
× 6.25mm × 3.87mm BGA package. Included in the pack-  
age are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor and  
support components. Operating over an input voltage  
range of 3.1V to 20V, the LTM4657 supports an output  
voltage range of 0.5V to 5.5V, set by a single external  
resistor. Its high efficiency design delivers up to 8A con-  
tinuous output current. Only bulk input and output capac-  
itors are needed.

TRACK/SS (E2): Output Tracking and Soft-Start Pin of the  
Switching Mode Regulator. Allows the user to control the  
rise time of the output voltage. Putting a voltage below  
0.5V on this pin bypasses the internal reference input  
to the error amplifier, instead it servos the FB pin to the  
TRACK voltage. Above 0.5V, the tracking function stops  
and the internal reference resumes control of the error  
amplifier. There’s an internal 6µA pull-up current from  
COMPb (F1): Internal Loop Compensation Network.  
Connect to COMPa to use the internal compensation in  
majority of applications.  
FREQ (E1): Switching Frequency Program Pin. Frequency  
is set internally to 500kHz. An external resistor can be  
placed from this pin to GND to increase frequency, or from  
this pin to INTVCC to reduce frequency. See the Applications

tion for details.  
MODE/CLKIN (D2): Discontinuous Mode Select Pin and  
External Synchronization Input to Phase Detector. Tie  
MODE/CLKIN to GND for discontinuous mode of opera-  
tion. Floating MODE/CLKIN or tying it to a voltage above  
1V will select forced continuous mode. Furthermore, con-  
necting MODE/CLKIN to an external clock will synchronize  
the system clock to the external clock and puts the part  
in forced continuous mode. See Applications Information  
section for details.  
COMPa (D1): Current control threshold and error ampli-  
fier compensation point of the switching mode regulator  
channel. The internal current comparator threshold is  
linearly proportional to this voltage. Tie the COMPa pins  
from different channels together for parallel operation.  
The device is internal compensated. Connect to COMPb  
to use the internal compensation. Or connect to a Type-II  
C-R-C network to use customized compensation.

LTM4657  
OPERATION  
The LTM4657 is a standalone nonisolated switch mode  
DC/DC power supply. It can deliver up to 8A DC output  
current with few external input and output capacitors.  
This module provides precisely regulated output voltage  
adjustable between 0.5V to 5.5V via one external resistor  
over a 3.1V to 20V input voltage range. The typical appli-  
cation schematic is shown in Figure 23.  
Furthermore, in order to protect the internal power  
MOSFET devices against transient voltage spikes, the  
LTM4657 constantly monitors the VIN pin for an over-  
voltage condition. When V rises above 24.5V, the reg-  
IN  
ulator suspends operation by shutting off both power  
MOSFETs. Once VIN drops below 21.5V, the regulator  
immediately resumes normal operation. The regulator  
does not execute its soft-start function when exiting an  
overvoltage condition.  
The LTM4657 contains an integrated constant on-time  
valley current mode regulator, power MOSFETs, inductor,  
and other supporting discrete components. The default  
switching frequency is 500kHz. For switching noise-sensi-  
tive applications, the switching frequency can be adjusted  
by external resistors and the μModule regulator can be  
externally synchronized to a clock within 30ꢀ of the set  
frequency. See the Applications Information section.  
Multiphase operation can be easily employed with the  
synchronization and phase mode controls. Up to 6 phases  
can be cascaded to run simultaneously with respect to  
each other by programming the PHMODE pin to different  
levels. The LTM4657 has MODE/CLKIN and CLKOUT pins  
for PolyPhase operation of multiple devices or frequency  
synchronization.  
With current mode control and internal feedback loop  
compensation, the LTM4657 module has sufficient sta-  
bility margins and good transient performance with a  
wide range of output capacitors, even with all ceramic  
output capacitors.  
Pulling the RUN pin to GND forces the controller into its  
shutdown state, turning off both power MOSFETs and  
most of the internal control circuitry. At light load currents,  
discontinuous mode (DCM) operation can be enabled to  
achieve higher efficiency compared to continuous mode  
(CCM) by pulling the MODE/CLKIN pin to GND. The  
TRACK/SS pin is used for power supply tracking  
and soft-start programming. See the Applications  
Information section.  
Current mode control provides cycle-by-cycle fast current  
limiting. Internal output overvoltage and undervoltage  
comparators pull the open-drain PGOOD output low if the  
output feedback voltage exits a 8ꢀ window around the  
regulation point. Continuous operation is forced during  
OV and UV condition except during start-up when the  
TRACK pin is ramping up to 0.5V.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The typical LTM4657 application circuit is shown in  
Figure 23. External component selection is primarily deter-  
mined by the input voltage, the output voltage and the  
maximum load current. Refer to Table 7 for specific exter-  
nal capacitor requirements for a particular application.  
shown in Figure 2, thus tying one of the internal 60.4k  
resistors to the output. All of the VFB pins tie together with  
one programming resistor as shown in Figure 2.

Input Decoupling Capacitors  
for LTM4657. In the rare cases where the minimum duty  
cycle is surpassed, the output voltage will still remain  
in regulation, but the switching frequency will decrease  
from its programmed value. Note that additional thermal  
derating may be applied. See the Thermal Considerations  
and Output Current Derating section in this data sheet.  
The LTM4657 module should be connected to a low AC  
impedance DC source. For the regulator, a 10µF input  
ceramic capacitor is required for RMS ripple current  
decoupling. Bulk input capacitance is only needed when  
the input source impedance is compromised by long  
inductive leads, traces or not enough source capacitance.  
The bulk capacitor can be an aluminum electrolytic capac-  
itor or polymer capacitor.

to variation of actual capacitance over bias voltage and

The programmable operating frequency range is from  
400kHz to 3MHz.  
Frequency Synchronization and Clock In  
The power module has a phase-locked loop comprised of  
an internal voltage controlled oscillator and a phase detec-  
tor. This allows the internal top MOSFET turn-on to be  
locked to the rising edge of the external clock. The exter-  
nal clock frequency range must be within 30ꢀ around  
the resistor set operating frequency. A pulse detection  
circuit is used to detect a clock on the CLKIN pin to turn  
on the phase-locked loop. The pulse width of the clock has  
to be at least 100ns. The clock high level must be above  
1V and clock low level below 0.3V. During the start-up of  
the regulator, the phase-locked loop function is disabled.  
Discontinuous Current Mode (DCM)  
In applications where low output ripple and high efficiency  
at intermediate current are desired, discontinuous current  
mode (DCM) should be used by connecting the MODE/  
CLKIN pin to GND. At light loads the internal current com-  
parator may remain tripped for several cycles and force the  
top MOSFET to stay off for several cycles, thus skipping  
cycles. The inductor current does not reverse in this mode.  
Forced Continuous Current Mode (CCM)  
In applications where fixed frequency operation is more  
critical than low current efficiency, and where the low-  
est output ripple is desired, forced continuous opera-  
tion should be used. Forced continuous operation can

For output loads that demand more than 8A of current,  
multiple LTM4657s can be paralleled to run out of phase  
to provide more output current without increasing input  
and output voltage ripples.

CC  
this mode, inductor current is allowed to reverse during  
low output loads, the COMP voltage is in control of the  
current comparator threshold throughout, and the top  
MOSFET always turns on with each oscillator pulse.  
During start-up, forced continuous mode is disabled and  
inductor current is prevented from reversing until the  
LTM4657’s output voltage is in regulation.  
The CLKOUT signal can be connected to the MODE/CLKIN  
pin of the following LTM4657 stage to line up both the  
frequency and the phase of the entire system. Tying the  
PHMODE pin to INTV , GND or FLOAT generates a phase  
CC  
difference (between CLKIN and CLKOUT) of 180°, 120°, or  
90° respectively, which corresponds to 2-phase, 3-phase  
or 4-phase operation. A total of 6 phases can be cascaded  
to run simultaneously out of phase with respect to each  
other by programming the PHMODE pin of each LTM4657  
to different levels. Figure 3 shows a 4-phase design and  
a 6-phase design example for clock phasing.  
Operating Frequency  
The operating frequency of the LTM4657 is optimized  
to achieve the compact package size and the minimum  
output ripple voltage while still keeping high efficiency.  
The default operating frequency is 500kHz. In most appli-  
cations, no additional frequency adjustment is required.

Figure 4. RMS Input Ripple Current to DC Load Current Ratio as a Function of Duty Cycle  
A multiphase power supply significantly reduces the  
amount of ripple current in both the input and output  
capacitors. The RMS input ripple current is reduced by,  
and the effective ripple frequency is multiplied by, the  
number of phases used (assuming that the input voltage is  
greater than the number of phases used times the output  
voltage). The output ripple amplitude is also reduced by  
the number of phases used when all of the outputs are tied  
together to achieve a single high output current design.  
The LTM4657 device is an inherently current mode con-  
trolled device, so parallel modules will have very good  
current sharing. This will balance the thermals on the  
design. Please tie the RUN, TRACK/SS, FB and COMP pins  
of each paralleling channel together. Figure 25 shows an  
example of parallel operation and pin connection.

Pre-Biased Output Start-Up  
Stability Compensation  
There may be situations that require the power supply to  
start up with some charge on the output capacitors. The  
LTM4657 can safely power up into a pre-biased output  
without discharging it.  
The LTM4657 has already been internally optimized and  
compensated for all output voltages and capacitor combi-  
nations including all ceramic capacitor applications when  
COMPb is tied to COMPa. Please note that a 22pF to  
47pF feedforward capacitor (C ) is required connecting  
FF  
The LTM4657 accomplishes this by forcing discontinuous  
mode (DCM) operation until the TRACK/SS pin voltage  
reaches 0.5V reference voltage. This will prevent the BG  
from turning on during the pre-biased output start-up  
which would discharge the output.

SW Pins and Snubbering Circuit  
The SW pin is generally for testing purposes by moni-  
toring the pin. The SW pin can also be used to dampen  
out switch node ringing caused by LC parasitic in the  
switched current path. Usually a series R-C combination  
is used called a snubber circuit. The resistor will dampen  
the resonance and the capacitor is chosen to only affect  
the high frequency ringing across the resistor.  
Differential Remote Sense Amplifier  
An accurate differential remote sense amplifier is built into  
the LTM4657 to sense output voltages accurately at the  
remote load points. This is especially true for high current  
If the stray inductance or capacitance can be measured  
or approximated then a somewhat analytical technique  
can be used to select the snubber values. The inductance  
is usually easier to predict. It combines the power path

First the SW pin can be monitored with a wide bandwidth

where f is the resonant frequency of the ring, and L is the  
total parasitic inductance in the switch path. If a resistor  
is selected that is equal to Z, then the ringing should be  
dampened. The snubber capacitor value is chosen so that  
its impedance is equal to the resistor at the ring frequency.

diode measured at two currents with a ratio of 10, the  
resulting voltage is 198μV per Kelvin of the junction with  
a zero intercept at 0 Kelvin.  
2. θ  
, the thermal resistance from junction to the  
JCbottom  
bottom of the product case, is determined with all of  
the component power dissipation flowing through the  
bottom of the package. In the typical µModule reg-  
ulator, the bulk of the heat flows out the bottom of  
the package, but there is always heat flow out into the  
ambient environment. As a result, this thermal resis-  
tance value may be useful for comparing packages,  
but the test conditions don’t generally match the user’s  
application.

The diode connected NPN transistor across the T  
SENSE  
pin and T  
pin can be used to monitor the internal  
SENSE  
temperature of the LTM4657.  
Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating  
The thermal resistances reported in the Pin Configuration  
section of the data sheet are consistent with those param-  
eters defined by JESD 51-12 and are intended for use with  
finite element analysis (FEA) software modeling tools that  
leverage the outcome of thermal modeling, simulation,  
and correlation to hardware evaluation performed on a  
µModule package mounted to a hardware test board.  
The motivation for providing these thermal coefficients  
is found in JESD 51-12 (Guidelines for Reporting and  
Using Electronic Package Thermal Information).  
3. θ  
, the thermal resistance from junction to top of  
JCtop  
the product case, is determined with nearly all of the  
component power dissipation flowing through the top  
of the package. As the electrical connections of the typ-  
ical µModule regulator are on the bottom of the pack-  
age, it is rare for an application to operate such that  
most of the heat flows from the junction to the top of  
the part. As in the case of θ  
useful for comparing packages but the test conditions  
don’t generally match the user’s application.  
, this value may be  
JCbottom  
Many designers may opt to use laboratory equipment and  
a test vehicle such as the demo board to anticipate the  
µModule regulator’s thermal performance in their appli-  
cation at various electrical and environmental operating  
conditions to compliment any FEA activities. Without  
FEA software, the thermal resistances reported in the  
Pin Configuration section are, in and of themselves, not  
relevant to providing guidance of thermal performance;  
instead, the derating curves provided in this data sheet can  
be used in a manner that yields insight and guidance per-  
taining to one’s application usage, and can be adapted to  
correlate thermal performance to one’s own application.  
4. θJB, the thermal resistance from junction to the printed  
circuit board, is the junction-to-board thermal resis-  
tance where almost all of the heat flows through the  
bottom of the µModule package and into the board,  
and is really the sum of the θ  
and the thermal  
JCbottom  
resistance of the bottom of the part through the solder  
joints and through a portion of the board. The board  
temperature is measured a specified distance from the  
package.  
A graphical representation of the aforementioned ther-  
mal resistances is given in Figure 9; blue resistances are  
contained within the μModule regulator, whereas green  
resistances are external to the µModule package.  
The Pin Configuration section gives four thermal coeffi-  
cients explicitly defined in JESD 51-12; these coefficients  
are quoted or paraphrased below:  
1. θJA, the thermal resistance from junction to ambient, is  
the natural convection junction-to-ambient air thermal  
resistance measured in a one cubic foot sealed enclo-  
sure. This environment is sometimes referred to as  
“still air” although natural convection causes the air to  
move. This value is determined with the part mounted  
to a 95mm × 76mm PCB with four layers.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
FEA software is used to accurately build the mechanical  
geometry of the LTM4657 and the specified PCB with all  
of the correct material coefficients along with accurate  
power loss source definitions; (2) this model simulates  
a software-defined JEDEC environment consistent with  
JESD51-12 to predict power loss heat flow and tempera-  
ture readings at different interfaces that enable the cal-  
culation of the JEDEC-defined thermal resistance values;  
(3) the model and FEA software is used to evaluate the  
LTM4657 with heat sink and airflow; (4) having solved  
for and analyzed these thermal resistance values and  
simulated various operating conditions in the software  
model, a thorough laboratory evaluation replicates the  
simulated conditions with thermocouples within a con-  
trolled environment chamber while operating the device  
at the same power loss as that which was simulated. An  
outcome of this process and due diligence yields the set  
of derating curves shown in this data sheet. After these  
laboratory tests have been performed and correlated to  
As a practical matter, it should be clear to the reader that  
no individual or sub-group of the four thermal resistance  
parameters defined by JESD 51-12 or provided in the  
Pin Configuration section replicates or conveys normal  
operating conditions of a μModule regulator. For example,  
in normal board-mounted applications, never does 100ꢀ  
of the device’s total power loss (heat) thermally conduct  
exclusively through the top or exclusively through bot-  
tom of the µModule package—as the standard defines  
for θ  
and θ , respectively. In practice, power  
JCbottom  
JCtop  
loss is thermally dissipated in both directions away from  
the package—granted, in the absence of a heat sink and  
airflow, a majority of the heat flow is into the board.  
Within the LTM4657 be aware there are multiple power  
devices and components dissipating power, with a con-  
sequence that the thermal resistances relative to differ-  
ent junctions of components or die are not exactly linear  
with respect to total package power loss. To reconcile  
this complication without sacrificing modeling sim-  
plicity—but also, not ignoring practical realities—an  
approach has been taken using FEA software modeling  
along with laboratory testing in a controlled environment  
chamber to reasonably define and correlate the thermal  
resistance values supplied in this data sheet: (1) Initially,  
the LTM4657 model, then the θ and θ are summed  
JB  
BA  
together to provide a value that should closely equal the  
θJA value because approximately 100ꢀ of power loss  
flows from the junction through the board into ambient  
with no airflow or top mounted heat sink.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The 1.0V, 1.5V, 3.3V and 5V power loss curves in  
Figure 10 to 13 can be used in coordination with the load  
current derating curves in Figure 14 to 20 for calculating  
is subtracted from the 120°C junction temperature,  
then the difference of 20°C divided by 1.2W equals a  
16.8°C/W θJA thermal resistance. Table 4 specifies a  
17°C/W value which is very close. Table 3, Table 4, Table 5  
and Table 6 provide equivalent thermal resistances for  
1.0V, 1.5V, 3.3V and 5V outputs with and without air-  
flow and heat sinking. The derived thermal resistances  
in Table 3, Table 4, Table 5 and Table 6 for the various  
conditions can be multiplied by the calculated power loss  
as a function of ambient temperature to derive tempera-  
ture rise above ambient, thus maximum junction tem-  
perature. Room temperature power loss can be derived  
from the efficiency curves in the Typical Performance  
Characteristics section and adjusted with the above ambi-  
ent temperature multiplicative factors. The printed circuit  
board is a 1.6mm thick 4-layer board with two ounce  
copper for the two outer layers and one ounce copper  
for the two inner layers. The PCB dimensions are 95mm  
× 76mm. A Typical thermal image based on this PCB is  
shown in Figure 21.  
an approximate θ thermal resistance for the LTM4657  
JA  
with various airflow conditions. The power loss curves  
are taken at room temperature, and are increased with a  
multiplicative factor according to the ambient tempera-  
ture. This approximate factor is: 1.2 for 120°C at junction  
temperature. Maximum load current is achievable while  
increasing ambient temperature as long as the junction  
temperature is less than 120°C, which is a 5°C guard band  
from maximum junction temperature of 125°C. When the  
ambient temperature reaches a point where the junction  
temperature is 120°C, then the load current is lowered to  
maintain the junction at 120°C while increasing ambient  
temperature up to 120°C. The derating curves are plotted  
with the output current starting at 8A and the ambient  
temperature at 30°C. The output voltages are 1.0V, 1.5V,  
3.3V and 5V. These are chosen to include the lower and  
higher output voltage ranges for correlating the thermal  
resistance. Thermal models are derived from several  
temperature measurements in a controlled temperature  
chamber along with thermal modeling analysis. The junc-  
tion temperatures are monitored while ambient tempera-  
ture is increased with and without airflow. The power loss  
increase with ambient temperature change is factored  
into the derating curves. The junctions are maintained at  
120°C maximum while lowering output current or power  
with increasing ambient temperature. The decreased  
output current will decrease the internal module loss as  
ambient temperature is increased. The monitored junction  
temperature of 120°C minus the ambient operating tem-  
perature specifies how much module temperature rise can  
be allowed. As an example, in Figure 17 the load current  
is derated to ~5.5A at ~100°C with no air flow or heat sink  
and the power loss for the 12V to 1.5V at 5.5A output is  
about 1.2W. The 1.2W loss is calculated with the ~1W  
room temperature loss from the 12V to 1.5V power loss  
curve at 5.5A, and the 1.2 multiplying factor at 120°C  
junction temperature. If the 100°C ambient temperature

Safety Considerations  
The LTM4657 modules do not provide galvanic isolation  
from V to V . There is no internal fuse. If required,  
• Do not put via directly on the pad, unless they are  
capped or plated over.  
• Bring out test points on the signal pins for monitoring.  
IN  
OUT  
a slow blow fuse with a rating twice the maximum input  
current needs to be provided to protect each unit from  
catastrophic failure. The device does support thermal  
shutdown and over current protection.  
• Keep separation between CLKIN, CLKOUT and FREQ  
pin traces to minimize possibility of noise due to cross-  
talk between these signals.  
Figure22givesagoodexampleoftherecommendedlayout.  
Layout Checklist/Example  
The high integration of LTM4657 makes the PCB board  
layout very simple and easy. However, to optimize its  
electrical and thermal performance, some layout consid-  
erations are still necessary.  
ꢃꢄꢅ  
• Use large PCB copper areas for high current paths,  
including V , GND and V . It helps to minimize the  
IN  
OUT  
PCB conduction loss and thermal stress.  
ꢁꢂ  
• Place high frequency ceramic input and output capac-  
itors next to the V , PGND and V  
pins to minimize  
IN  
OUT  
high frequency noise.  
ꢌꢂꢍ  
• Place a dedicated power ground layer underneath  
the unit.  
ꢆꢇꢈꢉ ꢊꢋꢋ  
Figure 22. Recommended PCB Layout  
• To minimize the via conduction loss and reduce module  
thermal stress, use multiple vias for interconnection  
between top layer and other power layers.
