Linear Technology DC1668A-C Demo Manual

DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1668A-C is a PolyPhase
supply featuring four LTM
nous buck µModule regulators. The DC1668A-C input
®
voltage range is between 4.5V to 20V with a jumper pro-
grammable output voltage from 0.6V to 3.3V. The demo
circuit can deliver up to 50A of load with excellent current
sharing. Current derating may be necessary under certain
operating conditions.
The LTM4627 can be synchronized to an external clock be-
tween 250kHz to 770kHz. The default switching frequency
for the DC1668A-C is set to 500kHz through the onboard

50A PolyPhase Step-Down
LTC6902 clock generator. The external clock interleaves
the paralleled phases to minimize input and output ripple.
DC1668A-C demonstrates that paralleling LTM4627 mod-
ules is easy and reliable. These features and the availability
of the LTM4627 in a compact thermally enhanced 15mm ×
15mm × 4.32mm LGA package make the circuit ideal for
use in high density point of load regulation applications.
