Demonstration circuit 2616A-D features a polyphase
design using the LTM4647EY, a 30A high efficiency,
switch mode step-down power µModule regulator. The
input voltage range is from 6V to 15V. To use DC2616A-D
for input voltage range from 4.7V to 6V, connect INTVCC
to SVIN (change R22, R42, R55, R68 from OPT to 0Ω),
DRVCC to VIN (change R21, R38, R52, R65 from 0Ω to
OPT, R2, R39, R53, R66 from OPT to 0Ω). The output voltage range is 0.6V to 1.8V. The DC2616A-D can deliver a
nominal 120A output current with four LTM4647 modules
in parallel. 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_PLLIN jumper selects pulseskipping mode for noise sensitive applications or burst
mode operation in less noise sensitive applications. The
MODE_PLLIN pin also allows the LTM4647 to synchronize to an external clock signal. The phase shift between
two adjacent phases is 90 degrees. DC2616A-D has the
option of choosing both internal and external compensation circuit for LTM4647. The LTM4647 data sheet must
be read in conjunction with this demo manual prior to
working on or modifying demo circuit DC2616A-D.
