DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2268A-E is a high efficiency, high
density, dual 18A, switch mode step-down power supply
on a compact 1.5' × 1.2' PCB. It features the
μModule regulator. The input voltage is from 4.5V to 15V.
The output voltage is programmable from 0.6V to 1.8V.
DC2268A-E can deliver up to 18A maximum in each chan-
nel. With the help of external compensation, ±3% transient
accuracy can be achieved with 25% load step. As explained
in the data sheet, output current derating is necessary

operates in continuous conduction mode in heavy load
conditions. For high efficiency at low load currents, the
resistor jumper (R1/R2) selects pulse-skipping mode for
noise sensitive applications or Burst Mode
sensitive applications. Two outputs can be connected in
parallel for a single 36A output solution with optional jumper
resistors. The board allows the user to program how its

output ramps up and down through the TRACK/SS pin.
Remote output voltage sensing is available for improved
LTM4630-1
output voltage regulation at the load point. An optional
input inductor L1 reduces the EMI noise for noise sensitive
applications. DC2268A can be easily inserted to an edge
connector for testing and debugging. These features and
the availability of the LTM4630-1EY in a compact 16mm
× 16mm × 5.01mm BGA package make it ideal for use in
many high-density point-of-load regulation applications.
The LTM4630-1 data sheet must be read in conjunction
with this demo manual for working on or modifying the
demo circuit DC2268A-E.
