OPERATION  
Power Module Description  
The LTM4649 is internally compensated to be stable over  
all operating conditions. Table 3 provides a guideline for  
inputandoutputcapacitancesforseveraloperatingcondi-  
tions. LTpowerCADisavailablefortransientandstability  
The LTM4649 is a high performance single output stand-  
alone nonisolated switching mode DC/DC power supply.  
It can provide up to 10A output current with few exter-  
nal input and output capacitors. This module provides  
precisely regulated output voltage programmable via  
an external resistor from 0.6VDC to 3.3VDC over a 4.5V  
to 16V input range. The typical application schematic is  
shown in Figure 17.

A remote sense amplifier is provided in the LTM4649 for  
accuratelysensingoutputvoltages3.3Vattheloadpoint.  
Multiphase operation can be easily employed with the  
synchronization inputs using an external clock source.  
See application examples.  
The LTM4649 has an integrated constant-frequency cur-  
rent mode regulator, power MOSFETs, inductor, and other  
supporting discrete components. The typical switching  
frequency is 450kHz. For switching noise-sensitive ap-  
plications, it can be externally synchronized from 400kHz  
to 800kHz. See the Applications Information section.  
High efficiency at light loads can be accomplished with  
selectableBurstModeoperationusingtheMODEpin.These  
light load features will accommodate battery operation.  
Efficiency graphs are provided for light load operation in  
the Typical Performance Characteristics section.  
With current mode control and internal feedback loop  
compensation, the LTM4649 module has sufficient stabil-  
ity margins and good transient performance with a wide  
range of output capacitors, especially with all ceramic  
output capacitors.  
A TEMP pin is provided to allow the internal device tem-  
peraturetobemonitoredusinganonboarddiodeconnected  
PNP transistor. This diode connected PNP transistor is  
grounded in the module and can be used as a general  
temperature monitor using a device that is designed to  
monitor the single-ended connection.  
Currentmodecontrolprovidescycle-by-cyclefastcurrent  
limit in an overcurrent condition. An internal overvoltage  
monitor protects the output voltage in the event of an  
overvoltage >10%. The top MOSFET is turned off and the  
bottom MOSFET is turned on until the output is cleared.  
The switching node pin is available for functional opera-  
tion monitoring. A resistor-capacitor snubber circuit can  
be carefully placed from the switching node pin to ground  
to dampen any high frequency ringing on the transition  
edges.SeetheApplicationsInformationsectionfordetails.  
Pulling the RUN pin below 1.1V forces the regulator into a  
shutdown state. The TRACK/SS pin is used for program-  
ming the output voltage ramp and voltage tracking during  
start-up. See the Application Information section.

mode at light load, the internal current comparator may  
remain tripped for several cycles, thus skipping opera-  
tion cycles. This mode has lower ripple than Burst Mode  
operationandmaintainsahigherfrequencyoperationthan  
Burst Mode operation.  
Forced Continuous Operation  
In applications where fixed frequency operation is more  
critical than low current efficiency, and where the lowest  
output ripple is desired, forced continuous operation  
should be used. Forced continuous operation can be  
enabled by tying the MODE pin to ground. In 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  
alwaysturnsonwitheachoscillatorpulse.Duringstart-up,  
forced continuous mode is disabled and inductor current  
is prevented from reversing until the LTM4649’s output  
voltage is in regulation.  
Burst Mode Operation  
TheLTM4649iscapableofBurstModeoperationinwhich  
the power MOSFETs operate intermittently based on load  
demand, thus saving quiescent current. For applications  
where maximizing the efficiency at very light loads is a  
high priority, Burst Mode operation should be applied. To  
enable Burst Mode operation, simply tie the MODE pin to  
INTV . During Burst Mode operation, the peak current  
CC  
of the inductor is set to approximately 30% of the maxi-  
mum peak current value in normal operation even though  
the voltage at the COMP pin indicates a lower value. The  
voltage at the COMP pin drops when the inductor’s aver-  
age current is greater than the load requirement. As the  
COMP voltage drops below 0.5V, the burst comparator  
trips, causing the internal sleep line to go high and turn  
off both power MOSFETs.  
Frequency Selection  
The LTM4649 device is internally programmed to 450kHz  
switching frequency to improve power conversion ef-  
ficiency. It is recommended for all applications with low  
V
or low V . For applications with high V (V

In sleep mode, the internal circuitry is partially turned  
off, reducing the quiescent current. The load current is  
now being supplied from the output capacitors. When the  
output voltage drops, causing COMP to rise, the internal  
sleep line goes low, and the LTM4649 resumes normal  
operation. The next oscillator cycle will turn on the top  
power MOSFET and the switching cycle repeats.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
A multiphase power supply could significantly reduce  
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  
isgreaterthanthenumberofphasesusedtimestheoutput  
voltage). The output ripple amplitude is also reduced by  
the number of phases used.  
It is determined by internal timing delays and the gate  
charge required to turn on the top MOSFET. Low duty  
cycle applications may approach this minimum on-time  
limit and care should be taken to ensure that:  
VOUT  
> tON(MIN)  
V FREQ  
IN  
If the duty cycle falls below what can be accommodated  
by the minimum on-time, the controller will begin to skip  
cycles. The output voltage will continue to be regulated,  
but the output ripple and current will increase. The mini-  
mum on-time can be increased by lowering the switching  
frequency. A good rule of thumb is to assume a 110ns  
minimum on-time.  
Input RMS Ripple Current Cancellation  
Application Note 77 provides a detailed explanation of  
multiphase operation. The input RMS ripple current can-  
cellation mathematical derivations are presented, and a

pin is pulled low when the RUN pin is below 1.2V. The

Output Voltage Tracking  
Output voltage tracking can be programmed externally  
using the TRACK/SS pin. The output can be tracked up  
and down with another regulator. The master regulator’s  
output is divided down with an external resistor divider  
that is the same as the slave regulator’s feedback divider  
to implement coincident tracking. The LTM4649 uses an  
accurate 10k resistor internally for the top feedback resis-  
tor. Figure 6 shows the coincident tracking characteristic.

it will operate in forced continuous mode and revert to the

where MR is the master’s output slew rate and SR is the  
slave’s output slew rate in Volts/Time. When coincident

The SW pin is generally used for testing purposes. The  
SW pin can also be used to dampen out switch node ring-  
ing caused by LC parasitic in the switched current path.  
Usually a series R-C combination is used, referred to as a  
snubbercircuit.Theresistorwilldampentheresonanceand

empirical equation:  
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 determine. It combines the power

interconnect bond wire inductance.

its impedance is equal to the resistor at the ring frequency.

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.  
1st Example: Figure 7 for 27°C, or 300K the diode voltage  
is 0.598V, thus, 300K = –(1200mV – 598mV)/–2.0mV/K).  
2nd Example: Figure 7 for 75°C, or 350K the diode voltage  
is 0.5V, thus, 350K = –(1200mV – 500mV)/–2.0mV/K).  
Converting the Kelvin scale to Celsius is simply taking the  
Kelvin temperature and subtracting 273 from it.  
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  
bottomofthepackage.InthetypicalµModuleregulator,  
the bulk of the heat flows out the bottom of the pack-  
age, but there is always heat flow out into the ambient  
environment. As a result, this thermal resistance value  
may be useful for comparing packages but the test  
conditionsdon’tgenerallymatchtheuser’sapplication.  
Measure the forward voltage at 27°C to establish a refer-  
ence point. Then using the above expression while mea-  
suring the forward voltage over temperature will provide a  
general temperature monitor. Connect a resistor between  
TEMP and V to set the current to 100µA. See Figure 21  
IN  
for an example.  
Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating  
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  
typical µModule are on the bottom of the package, it  
is rare for an application to operate such that most of  
the heat flows from the junction to the top of the part.  
The thermal resistances reported in the Pin Configuration  
section of the data sheet are consistent with those param-  
eters defined by JESD51-12 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 JESD51-12 (“Guidelines for Reporting and Using  
Electronic Package Thermal Information”).

at different interfaces that enable the calculation of the  
JEDEC-defined thermal resistance values; (3) the model  
and FEA software is used to evaluate the LTM4649 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 controlled-environment  
chamber while operating the device at the same power  
loss as that which was simulated. The outcome of this  
processandduediligenceyieldsthesetofderatingcurves

A graphical representation of the aforementioned ther-  
mal resistances is given in Figure 8; blue resistances are  
contained within the μModule regulator, whereas green  
resistances are external to the µModule package.  
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 JESD51-12 or provided in the Pin  
Configuration section replicates or conveys normal oper-  
ating conditions of a μModule regulator. For example, in  
normal board-mounted applications, never does 100%  
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

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 LTM4649, be aware there are multiple power  
devices and components dissipating power, with a con-  
sequence that the thermal resistances relative to different  
junctions of components or die are not exactly linear with  
respect to total package power loss. To reconcile this
