DESCRIPTION
Evaluation board EVAL-LTM4702-AZ is a step-down
DC/ DC switching converter featuring the
μModule
regulator. The evaluation board is designed to
®
deliver 8A maximum output current from a 4V to 16V
input. The LTM4702 employs Silent Switcher
ture with internal hot loop bypass capacitors to achieve
both low EMI and high efficiency. The LTM4702 contains
a current mode regulator IC, power inductor, and a modest
amount of input and output capacitance. A single resis-
tor (R3) sets the output voltage, providing unity gain oper-
ation over the output range, resulting in virtually constant
output noise independent of output voltage.
The EVAL-LTM4702-AZ evaluation board default switch-
ing frequency is 800kHz. An external resistor is placed
from RT pin to GND (R7) to set the switching frequency.
SYNC pin programs three different operating modes
(JP1 jumper): select PULSE for pulse-skipping mode

with improved efficiency at light loads; select FCM for
forced continuous mode operation where fixed frequency
operation is more critical than low current efficiency and
where the lowest output ripple is desired; select SYNC to
synchronize to an external clock signal.
The RUN terminal can be used to set the LTM4702 in
shutdown mode. The power good output (PG) will be low
when the output voltage is outside of the ±7.5% regula-
tion window. When the power good feature is used, set
the PGSET resistor (R1) value according to the regulator
output voltage.
The LTM4702 data sheet gives a complete description of
the operation and application information. The data sheet
must be read in conjunction with this evaluation board.
