DESCRIPTION
LTM4641
38V, 10A, Step-Down µModule Regulator
with Advanced Input and Load Protection
Demonstration circuit 1543B features the LTM
®
4641, a
high efficiency, high density switch mode step-down power
µModule regulator with superior input and load protection
features. The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 38V. The
output voltage is jumper programmable from 0.8V to 6V
with a rated load current of 10A. Derating is necessary
for certain VIN, VOUT, frequency and thermal conditions.
DC1543B offers the TRACK/SS pin allowing the user to
program output tracking or soft-start period. The DC1543B
allows the user to enable/disable input undervoltage
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
BOARD PHOTO
protection; input latching/non-latching overvoltage protec-
tion; and latching/non-latching overtemperature protection.
Higher efficiency at low load currents is achieved by setting
the MODE pin jumper to DCM. The LTM4641 data sheet
must be read in conjunction with this demo manual prior
to working on or modifying demo circuit 1543B.
Design files for this circuit board are available.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1543B is an easy way to evaluate
the performance of the LTM4641. Please refer to Figure1
for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical
3.3VOUT application:
INPUT
OVLO
NON-LATCH INPUT
OVP
INPUT UVLO OVER-TEMP
BEHAVIOR
OFF OFF OFF NON-LATCH
RUN MODE TRACK/SS VOUT Select FSET
ON CCM SS 3.3V VOUT > 3.0V
2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load
and meters as shown in Figure1. Preset the load to 0A
and VIN supply to be 0V.
3. Turn on the power at the input. Increase VIN to 12V
(Do not apply more than the rated maximum voltage
of 38V to the board or the part may be damaged).
The output voltage should be regulated and deliver the
selected output voltage ±1.5%.
4. Vary the input voltage from 4.5V to 38V and adjust
the load current from 0A to 10A. Observe the output
voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency, and other
parameters. Output voltage ripple may be measured at
J6 with a BNC cable and oscilloscope. The probe channel
for VOUT should be set at 50Ω termination resistance
to match the BNC cable.
5. (Optional) For optional load transient test, apply an
adjustable pulse signal between IOSTEP_CLK and GND
test points. The pulse amplitude sets the load step cur-
rent amplitude. Keep the pulse width short (<1ms) and
pulse duty cycle low (<5%) to limit the thermal stress
on the load transient circuit. The load step current can
be monitored with a BNC connected to J5 (25mV/A).
6. (Optional) To test the advanced input and load pro-
tections, put the corresponding jumper in the “ON”
position. For DC1543B, the thresholds for different
input and output protections are set as shown below:
INPUT OVLO 36V
NON-LATCH INPUT OVP 32V
INPUT UVLO 8V for Rising Edge
7V for Falling Edge
OVER-TEMP
BEHAVIOR
LATCH 145°C
NON-LATCH 145°C: Cease Regulation
135°C: Resume Regulation
