step-down µModule
®
regulator. Included in the package
are the switching controllers, power FETs, inductors and
all support components. The dual 4A DC/DC converters
operate over an input voltage range of 2.375V to 5.5V.
The LTM4614 supports output voltages ranging from
0.8V to 5V. The regulator output voltages are set by a
single resistor for each output. Only bulk input and output
capacitors are needed to complete the design.
The low profile package (2.82mm) enables utilization of
unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density
point of load regulation.
Additional features include overvoltage protection, foldback
overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown and programmable
soft-start. The power module is offered in a space saving and
thermally enhanced 15mm × 15mm × 2.82mm LGA pack-
age. The LTM4614 is RoHS compliant with Pb-free finish.

LTM4614 POWER MODULE DESCRIPTION
The LTM4614 is a standalone dual nonisolated switching
mode DC/DC power supply. It can deliver up to 4A of DC
output current for each channel with few external input
and output capacitors. This module provides two precisely
regulated output voltages programmable via one external
resistor for each channel from 0.8V DC to 5V DC over
a 2.375V to 5.5V input voltage. The typical application
schematic is shown in Figure 12.
The LTM4614 has two integrated constant frequency cur-
rent mode regulators, with built-in power MOSFETs with
fast switching speed. The typical switching frequency is
1.25MHz. With current mode control and internal feedback
loop compensation, these switching regulators have suf-
ficient stability margins and good transient performance
under a wide range of operating conditions and with a
wide range of output capacitors, even all ceramic output
capacitors.
Current mode control provides cycle-by-cycle fast current
limit. Besides, current limiting is provided in an overcur-
rent condition with thermal shutdown. In addition, inter-
nal overvoltage and undervoltage comparators pull the
open-drain PGOOD outputs low if the particular output
feedback voltage exits a ±7.5% window around the regu-
lation point. Furthermore, in an overvoltage condition,
internal top FET, M1, is turned off and bottom FET, M2,
is turned on and held on until the overvoltage condition
clears, or current limit is exceeded.
Pulling each specific RUN pin below 0.8V forces the spe-
cific regulator controller into its shutdown state, turning
off both M1 and M2 for each power stage. At low load
current, each regulator works in continuous current mode
by default to achieve minimum output voltage ripple.
The TRACK and RUN/SS pins are used for power supply
tracking and soft-start programming for each specific
regulator. See the Applications Information section.
The LTM4614 is internally compensated to be stable over
the operating conditions. Table 4 provides a guideline for
input and output capacitance for several operating con-
ditions. The LTpowerCAD™ GUI is available for transient
and stability analysis.
The FB pins are used to program the specific output volt-
age with a single externally connected resistor to ground.

Dual Switching Regulator
A typical LTM4614 application circuit is shown in Figure 12.
External component selection is primarily determined by
the maximum load current and output voltage. Refer to
Table 4 for specific external capacitor requirements for a
particular application.
VIN to VOUT Step-Down Ratios
There are restrictions in the maximum VIN and VOUT step-
down ratio than can be achieved for a given input voltage
on the two switching regulators. The LTM4614 is 100%
duty cycle capable, but the VIN to VOUT minimum dropout
will be a function the load current. A typical 0.5V minimum
is sufficient. See Typical Performance Characteristics.
Output Voltage Programming
Each regulator channel has an internal 0.8V reference
voltage. As shown in the Block Diagram, a 4.99k internal
feedback resistor connects the VOUT and FB pins together.
The output voltage will default to 0.8V with no externally
applied feedback resistor. Adding a resistor RFB from the
FB pin to GND programs the output voltage:
VOUT =0.8V 4.99k +RFB

RFB Open 20k 10k 5.76k 3.92k 2.37k 1.62k
Input Capacitors
The LTM4614 module should be connected to a low AC
impedance DC source. One 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is
included inside the module for each regulator channel.
Additional input capacitors are needed if a large load step
is required up to the full 4A level and for RMS ripple cur-
rent requirements. A 47µF bulk capacitor can be used for
more input bulk capacitance. This 47µF capacitor is only
needed if the input source impedance is compromised by
long inductive leads or traces.
For a buck converter, the switching duty cycle can be
estimated as:
D=VOUT
VIN
Without considering the inductor current ripple, the RMS
current of the input capacitor can be estimated as:
ICIN(RMS) =IOUT(MAX)
η%D1– D
( )
In the above equation, η% is the estimated efficiency of
the power module. The bulk capacitor can be a switcher-
rated aluminum electrolytic OS-CON or polymer capacitor.
If a low inductance plane is used to power the device,
then no input capacitance is required. The internal 4.7µF
ceramics on each channel input are typically rated for 1A
of RMS ripple current up to 85°C operation. The worst-
case ripple current for the 4A maximum current is 2A or
less. An additional 10µF or 22µF local ceramic capacitor
can be used to supplement the internal capacitor with an
additional 1A to 2A ripple current rating. See Figure 11
for recommended PCB layout.
Output Capacitors
The LTM4614 switchers are designed for low output volt-
age ripple on each channel. The bulk output capacitors
are chosen with low enough effective series resistance
(ESR) to meet the output voltage ripple and transient
requirements. The output capacitors can be low ESR tan-
talum capacitors, low ESR polymer capacitors or ceramic
capacitors. The typical output capacitance range is 66µF
to 100µF. Additional output filtering may be required by
the system designer if further reduction of output ripple
or dynamic transient spikes is required. Table 4 shows a
matrix of different output voltages and output capacitors
to minimize the voltage droop and overshoot during a 2A/
µs transient. The table optimizes total equivalent ESR and
total bulk capacitance to maximize transient performance.
See Figure 11 for recommended PCB layout.

Fault Conditions: Current Limit and Overcurrent
Foldback
The LTM4614 has current mode control, which inher-
ently limits the cycle-by-cycle inductor current not only
in steady-state operation, but also in transient.
Along with foldback current limiting in the event of an
overload condition, the LTM4614 has overtemperature
shutdown protection that inhibits switching operation
around 150°C for each channel.
Run Enable and Soft-Start
The RUN/SS pins provide a dual function of enable and
soft-start control for each channel. The RUN/SS pins are
used to control turn on of the LTM4614. While each enable
pin is below 0.6V, the LTM4614 will be in a low quiescent
current state. At least a 0.9V level applied to the enable
pins will turn on the LTM4614 regulators. The voltage on
the RUN/SS pins clamp the control loop’s current com-
parator threshold. A RUN/SS pin voltage of 2.375V upon
completion of soft-start guarantees the regulator can deliver
full output current. These pins can be used to sequence
the regulator channels. Soft-start control is provided by
a 1M pull-up resistor (RSS) and a 1000pF capacitor (CSS)
as shown in the Block Diagram for each channel. Option-
ally, an external capacitor (CSSEXT) can be applied to the
RUN/SS pin to increase soft-start time. A typical value is
0.01µF. Soft-start time is approximately given by:
tSOFTSTART =In VIN
VIN 1.8V
RSS CSS +CSSEXT
( )
where RSS and CSS are shown in the Block Diagram of
Figure1, and 1.8V is the soft-start upper range. The soft-
start function can also be used to control the output ramp-
up time, so that another regulator can be easily tracked
to it. To turn off the module while VIN remains active, the
RUN/SS pin should be pulled low with a falling edge ≤ 1µs
to ensure the device does not transition slowly through
the internal undervoltage lockout threshold.
Output Voltage Tracking
Output voltage tracking can be programmed externally
using the TRACK pins. Either output can be tracked up
or down with another regulator. The master regulator’s
output is divided down with an external resistor divider
that is the same as the slave regulator’s feedback divider
to implement coincident tracking. The LTM4614 uses a
very accurate 4.99k resistor for the internal top feedback
resistor. Figure 2 shows an example of coincident tracking.

TRACK1 is the track ramp applied to the slave’s track pin.
TRACK1 applies the track reference for the slave output up
to the point of the programmed value at which TRACK1
proceeds beyond the 0.8V reference value. The TRACK1
pin must go beyond the 0.8V to ensure the slave output
has reached its final value.
Ratiometric tracking can be achieved by a few simple cal-
culations and the slew rate value applied to the master’s
TRACK pin. As mentioned above, the TRACK pin has a
control range from 0V to 0.8V. The control ramp slew rate
applied to the master’s TRACK pin is directly equal to the
master’s output slew rate in Volts/Time.
The equation:
MR
SR 4.99k =RTB
where MR is the master’s output slew rate and SR is the
slave’s output slew rate in Volts/Time. When coincident
tracking is desired, then MR and SR are equal, thus RTB
is equal to 4.99k. RTA is derived from equation:
RTA =0.8V
VFB
4.99k +VFB
RFB
VTRACK
RTB
where VFB is the feedback voltage reference of the regula-
tor, and VTRACK is 0.8V. Since RTB is equal to the 4.99k top
feedback resistor of the slave regulator in equal slew rate
or coincident tracking, then RTA is equal to RFB with VFB =
VTRACK. Therefore RTB = 4.99k and RTA = 10k in Figure 2.
Figure 3 shows the output voltage tracking waveform for
coincident tracking.
In ratiometric tracking, a different slew rate maybe desired
for the slave regulator. RTB can be solved for when SR
is slower than MR. Make sure that the slave supply slew
rate is chosen to be fast enough so that the slave output
voltage will reach it final value before the master output.
For example, MR = 2.5V/ms and SR = 1.8V/1ms. Then
RTB = 6.98k. Solve for RTA to equal to 3.24k. The master
output must be greater than the slave output for the
tracking to work. Output load current must be present
for tracking to operate properly during power down.
Power Good
PGOOD1 and PGOOD2 are open-drain pins that can be
used to monitor valid output voltage regulation. These
pins monitor a ±7.5% window around the regulation point.
COMP Pin
This pin is the external compensation pin. The module
has already been internally compensated for all output
voltages. Table 4 is provided for most application require-
ments. The LTpowerCAD GUI is available for other control
loop optimization.

Parallel Switching Regulator Operation
The LTM4614 switching regulators are inherently current
mode control. Paralleling will have very good current shar-
ing. This will balance the thermals on the design. Figure
13 shows a schematic of a parallel design. The voltage
feedback equation changes with the variable N as chan-
nels are paralleled.
The equation:
VOUT =0.8V
4.99k
N+RFB
RFB
N is the number of paralleled channels.
Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating
The power loss curves in Figures 5 and 6 can be used
in coordination with the load current derating curves in
Figures 7 to 10 for calculating an approximate θJA thermal
resistance for the LTM4614 with various heat sinking
and airflow conditions. Both of the LTM4614 outputs
are at full 4A load current, and the power loss curves in
Figures 5 and 6 are combined power losses plotted for
both output voltages up to 4A each. The 4A output voltages
are 1.2V and 3.3V. These voltages are chosen to include
the lower and higher output voltage ranges for correlating
the thermal resistance. Thermal models are derived from
several temperature measurements in a controlled tem-
perature chamber along with thermal modeling analysis.
The junction temperatures are monitored while ambient
temperature is increased with and without airflow. The
junctions are maintained at ~120°C while lowering output
current or power while increasing ambient temperature.
The 120°C is chosen to allow for aC margin window
relative to the maximum 125°C. The decreased output
current will decrease the internal module loss as ambi-
ent temperature is increased. The power loss curves in
Figures 5 and 6 show this amount of power loss as a
function of load current that is specified for both chan-
nels. The monitored junction temperature of 120°C minus
the ambient operating temperature specifies how much

module temperature rise can be allowed. As an example, in
Figure 7 the load current is derated to 3A for each channel
with 0LFM at ~ 90°C and the total combined power loss for
both channels at 5V to 1.2V at 3A output is ~1.5 watts. If
the 90°C ambient temperature is subtracted from the 120°C
maximum junction temperature, then the difference of
30°C divided by 1.5W equals a 20°C/W thermal resistance.
Table 2 specifies a 15°C/W value which is close. Table 2
and Table 3 provide equivalent thermal resistances for
1.2V and 3.3V outputs with and without air flow and
heat sinking. The combined power loss for the two 4A
outputs can be summed together and multiplied by the
thermal resistance values in Tables 2 and 3 for module
temperature rise under the specified conditions. The
printed circuit board is a 1.6mm thick four layer board
with 2 ounce copper for the two outer layers and 1 ounce
copper for the two inner layers. The PCB dimensions are
95mm × 76mm. The data sheet lists the θJA (junction to
ambient) and θJC (junction to case) thermal resistances
under the Pin Configuration diagram.

Safety Considerations
The LTM4614 modules do not provide galvanic isolation
from VIN to VOUT
. There is no internal fuse. If required,
a slow blow fuse with a rating twice the maximum input
current needs to be provided to protect each unit from
catastrophic failure.
Layout Checklist/Example
The high integration of LTM4614 makes the PCB board
layout very simple and easy. However, to optimize its
electrical and thermal performance, some layout consid-
erations are still necessary.
• Refer to http://www.linear.com/docs/29812 for device
land pattern and stencil design.
• Use large PCB copper areas for high current paths,
including VIN, GND and VOUT. It helps to minimize the
PCB conduction loss and thermal stress.
• Place high frequency ceramic input and output capaci-
tors next to the VIN, GND and VOUT pins to minimize
high frequency noise.
• Place a dedicated power ground layer underneath the
unit.
• To minimize the via conduction loss and reduce module
thermal stress, use multiple vias for interconnection
between the top layer and other power layers.
• Do not put vias directly on pads unless they are capped.
Figure 11 gives a good example of the recommended layout.
