4606EV,
an EN55022 Class B certified, switch mode step-down
power module. The input voltage range is from 4.5V to
28V with a jumper programmable output voltage from
0.6V to 5V. The rated load current is 6A, while derating is

The LTM4606 allows the user to program output ramp-up
and ramp-down through the TRACK/SS pin. The output can
be set to coincidentally or ratiometrically track to another

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit DC1295B is an easy way to evaluate
the performance of the LTM4606EV. Please refer to Figure1
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical
1.5V

CCM LO LO ON 1.5V
2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load
and meters as shown in Figure 1. Preset the load to 0A
and V
IN
supply to be 12V.
3. Turn on the power at the input. The output voltage
should be 1.5V ±2% (1.47V ~ 1.53V).
4. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the
load within the operating range and observe the output
voltage regulation, efficiency and other parameters.
5. The very low ripple of the LTM4606 requires proper
measurement technique. Input ripple can be measured
with a typical scope probe, but you should not use the
ground clip lead. See Figure 2 for an illustration of how
to connect to the input capacitor. The output ripple
should be measured with a 50Ω BNC cable connected
to J6.
6. For the optional load transient test, apply an adjust-
able pulse signal between IOSTEP_CLK and GND pins.
Pulse amplitude sets the current step. The pulse signal
should have very small duty cycle (<5%) to limit the
thermal stress on the transient load circuit. The output
transient current can be monitored at BNC connector
J5 (10mV/A), the output voltage can be monitored at
BNC connector J6.
