DESCRIPTION
LTM4647
30A DC/DC Step-Down
µModule Regulator
Demonstration circuit 2141A features the LTM
®
4647EY,
a 30A high efficiency, switch mode step-down power
µModule regulator. The input voltage range is from 6V to
15V. To use DC2141A for input voltage range from 4.7V to
6V, connect INTVCC to SVIN (change R22 from OPT to 0Ω),
DRVCC to VIN (change R21 from 0Ω to OPT, R28 from OPT
to 0Ω). The output voltage range is 0.6V to 1.8V. Derating
is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT, frequency and thermal
conditions. The DC2141A offers the TRK/SS pin allowing
the user to program output tracking or soft-start period. The
board operates in continuous conduction mode in heavy
load conditions. For high efficiency at low load currents,
the MODE_PLLIN jumper selects pulse-skipping mode for
noise sensitive applications or Burst Mode

less noise sensitive applications. The MODE_PLLIN pin
also allows the LTM4647 to synchronize to an external
clock signal (between 400kHz and 800kHz). DC2141A
has the option of choosing both internal and external
compensation circuit for LTM4647. Tying the PHASMD
pin to different voltage generates certain phase difference
between MODE_PLLIN and CLKOUT. The LTM4647 data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual
prior to working on or modifying demo circuit DC2141A.
