DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2230A-A features the
a 40A high efficiency, switch mode step-down power
µModule
regulator. The input voltage range is from 4.7V to
®
15V. For input voltage range from 4.7V to 5.5V, short PV
pin to V
pin with R8 = R21 = 0Ω and remove R17. The
IN
output voltage range is 0.6V to 3.3V. Derating is necessary
for certain V
, V
, frequency and thermal conditions. The
IN
OUT
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 LTM4636 to synchronize to an external
®
clock signal. DC2230A-A has the option of choosing both
internal and external compensation circuit for LTM4636.
Tying the PHASMD pin to different voltage generates cer-
CC
tain phase difference between MODE_PLLIN and CLKOUT.
The LTM4636 data sheet must be read in conjunction with
this demo manual prior to working on or modifying demo
circuit DC2230A-A.
