The LTM®4651 is an ultralow noise, 58V, 24W DC/DC
μModule® inverting topology regulator. It regulates a negative output voltage (VOUT–) from a positive input supply
voltage (VIN), and is designed to meet the radiated emissions
requirements of EN55022. Conducted emission requirements can be met by adding standard filter components.
Included in the package are the switching controller, power
MOSFETs, inductor, filters and support components.
nn
APPLICATIONS
The LTM4651 can regulate VOUT– to a value between
–0.5V and –26.5V, provided that its input and output
voltages adhere to the safe operating area criteria of the
LTM4651: VIN + |VOUT–| ≤ 58V. A switching frequency
range of 250kHz to 3MHz is supported (400kHz default)
and the module can synchronize to an external clock.
Despite being an inverting topology regulator, no level shift
circuitry is needed to interface to the LTM4651’s RUN,
PGOOD or CLKIN pins; those pins are referenced to GND.
The LTM4651 is offered in a 15mm × 9mm × 5.01mm BGA
package with SnPb or RoHS compliant terminal finish.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listing under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTM4651 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
TJ ≈ TA. The LTM4651E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
over the 0°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. Specifications
over the full –40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls. The LTM4651I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full
internal operating temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient
temperature consistent with these specifications is determined by specific
operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package
thermal resistance and other environmental factors.
Note 3: See output current derating curves for different VIN, VOUT, and TA,
located in the Applications Information section.
Note 4: Minimum on-time, VIN Overvoltage Lockout and Overvoltage
Lockout Hysteresis, PGOOD Delay, and EXTVCC Switchover Threshold are
tested at wafer sort.
Note 5: VOUT(–0.5VDC)– low line regulation is tested at 3.6VIN, with fSET and
CLKIN open circuit. High line regulation is tested at 28VIN, and with CLKIN
driven at 200kHz—so as to ensure minimum on time criteria is met. The
LTM4651 is not recommended for applications where the minimum ontime criteria (guardband to 90ns) is continuously violated. The LTM4651
can ride through events (such as VIN surge) where the on-time criteria is
transiently violated. See the Applications Information section.
Note 6: VOUT(–24VDC)– is tested at 3.6VIN and 34VIN, with CLKIN driven
with a 1.8MHz clock, ISETa – SVOUT– = 24V, and RfSET = 57.6kΩ. It is also
tested at 24VIN, with CLKIN driven with a 1.5MHz clock, RfSET = 57.6kΩ,
and RISET = 480kΩ.
Note 7: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 8: The INTVCC Abs Max peak output current is specified as the sum
of current drawn by circuits internal to the module biased off of INTVCC
and current drawn by external circuits biased off of INTVCC. See the
Applications Information section.

PIN FUNCTIONS
PACKAGE ROW AND COLUMN LABELING MAY VARY
AMONG µModule PRODUCTS. REVIEW EACH PACKAGE
LAYOUT CAREFULLY.
VIN (A1 – A3, B3): Power Input Pins. Apply input voltage
and input decoupling capacitance directly between VIN
and a power ground (PGND) plane.
VD (A4, B4, C4): Drain of the Converter’s Primary Switching
MOSFET. Apply at least one 4.7μF high frequency ceramic
decoupling capacitor directly from VD to VOUT–. Give this
capacitor higher layout priority (closer proximity to the
module) than any VIN decoupling capacitors.
SVIN (C3): Input Voltage Supply for Small-Signal Circuits.
SVIN is the input to the INTVCC LDO. Connect SVIN directly
to VIN. No decoupling capacitor is needed on this pin.
VOUT– (A5, B5, C2, C5, D5, E5, F5, G4 – 5, H3, H5,
J3 – 5, K4 – 5, L4 – 5): Negative Power Output of the
LTM4651. Connect all VOUT– pins to the application’s
VOUT– plane. Apply the output filter capacitor and the
output load between these and the PGND pins.
PGND (K1 – 3, L1 – 3): Power Ground Pins of the LTM4651.
Electrically connect all pins to the application’s PGND plane.
GND (D4): Ground Reference for RUN, CLKIN, and PGOOD
Signals. Connect GND directly to the PGND power ground
plane.
GNDSNS (G1, H1): Voltage Sense, PGND Input and Feedback Signal. Connect GNDSNS to PGND at the point of
load (POL). Pins G1 and H1 are electronically connected
to each other internal to the module, and thus it is only
necessary to connect one GNDSNS pin to PGND at the POL.
The remaining GNDSNS pin can be used for redundant connectivity or routed to an ICT test point for design-for-test
considerations, as desired.
SVOUT– (E4, G2, H2): Voltage Sense, VOUT– Input. Connect
Pin H2 to VOUT– directly under the LTM4651. The SVOUT–
pins at locations E4 and G2 are electrically connected
to each other internal to the module, and thus it is only
necessary to connect one SVOUT– pin to VOUT– under
the module. The remaining SVOUT– pins can be used for
redundant connectivity or routed to an ICT test point for
design-for-test considerations, as desired.

RUN (F4): Run Control Pin. A voltage above 1.2V (with
respect to GND) commands the module to regulate its
output voltage. Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) can be
implemented by connecting RUN to the midpoint node
formed by a resistor-divider between VIN and GND. RUN
features 130mV of hysteresis. See the Applications Information section.
INTVCC (G3): Internal Regulator, 3.3V Output with Respect to VOUT–. Internal control circuits and MOSFETdrivers derive power from INTVCC bias. When operating
3.6V < SVIN ≤ 58V, an LDO generates INTVCC from SVIN
when RUN is logic high (RUN >1.2V). No external decoupling
is required. When RUN is logic low (RUN – GND < 1.2V),
the INTVCC LDO is off, i.e., INTVCC is unregulated. (Also
see EXTVCC.) It is not recommended to load INTVCC with
external circuits exceeding ~10mA. See the Applications
Information section and Note 8.
EXTVCC (F3): External Bias, Auxiliary Input to the INTVCC
Regulator. When EXTVCC – VOUT– exceeds 3.2V and
SVIN – VOUT– exceeds 5V, the INTVCC LDO derives power
from EXTVCC bias instead of the SVIN path. This technique
can reduce LDO losses considerably, resulting in a corresponding reduction in module junction temperature. For
applications where |VOUT–| > 4V, realize this benefit by
connecting EXTVCC to PGND through a resistor. (See the
Application Information section for resistor value.) When
taking advantage of this EXTVCC feature, locally decouple
EXTVCC to VOUT– with a 1µF ceramic capacitor—otherwise,
leave EXTVCC open circuit.
ISETb (F1): 1.5nF Soft-Start Capacitor. Connect ISETb
to ISETa to achieve default soft-start characteristics, if
desired—otherwise, leave ISETb open circuit. See ISETa.
ISETa (F2): Accurate 50µA Current Source. Positive input
to the error amplifier. Connect a resistor (RSET) from this
pin to SVOUT– to program the desired LTM4651 output voltage, VOUT– = –RSET • 50µA. A capacitor can be connected
from ISETa to SVOUT– to soft-start the output voltage and
reduce start-up inrush current. Connect ISETa to ISETb in
order to achieve default soft-start, if desired. See ISETb.

PIN FUNCTIONS
In addition, the output of the LTM4651 can track a voltage
applied between the ISETa pin and the SVOUT– pins. See
the Applications Information section.
PGOOD (D1): Power Good Indicator, Open-Drain Output
Pin. PGOOD is high impedance when PGDFB – SVOUT– is
within approximately ±7.5% of 0.6V. PGOOD is pulled to
GND when PGDFB – SVOUT– is outside this range.
PGDFB (D2): Power Good Feedback Programming Pin.
Connect PGDFB to GNDSNS through a resistor, RPGDFB.
RPGDFB configures the voltage threshold of VOUT– for
which PGOOD toggles its state. If the PGOOD feature is
used, set RPGDFB to:
 |V – | 
RPGDFB =  OUT – 1 • 4.99k
 0.6V



otherwise, leave PGDFB open circuit.
A small filter capacitor (220pF) internal to the LTM4651
on this pin provides high frequency noise immunity for
the PGOOD output indicator.
fSET (E3): Oscillator Frequency Programming Pin. The
default switching frequency of the LTM4651 is 400kHz.
Often, it is necessary to increase the programmed frequency by connecting a resistor between fSET and SVOUT–.
(See the Applications Information section.) Note that the
synchronization range of CLKIN is approximately ±40%
of the oscillator frequency programmed by the fSET pin.
CLKIN (B1): Oscillator Synchronization Input. Leave CLKIN
open circuit for forced continuous mode operation.
Alternatively, this pin can be driven so as to synchronize the
switching frequency of the LTM4651 to a clock signal. In
this condition, the LTM4651 operates in forced-continuous
mode and the cycle-by-cycle turn-on of the Primary MOSFET is coincident with the rising edge of the clock applied
to CLKIN. Note the synchronization range of CLKIN is approximately ±40% of the oscillator frequency programmed
by the fSET pin. See the Applications Information section.
COMPa (E2): Current Control Threshold and Error Amplifier Compensation Node. The trip threshold of LTM4651’s
current comparator increases with a respective rise in
COMPa voltage. A small filter capacitor (10pF) internal
to the LTM4651 on this pin introduces a high-frequency
roll-off of the error-amplifier response, yielding good noise
rejection in the control-loop. COMPa is usually electrically
connected to COMPb in one’s application, thus applying
default loop compensation. Loop compensation (a series
resistor-capacitor) can be applied externally to COMPa if
desired or needed, instead. See COMPb.
COMPb (E1): Internal Loop Compensation Network.
For a majority of applications, the internal, default loop
compensation of the LTM4651 is suitable to apply “as is”
and yields very satisfactory results: apply the default loop
compensation to the control loop by simply connecting
COMPa to COMPb. When more specialized applications
require a personal touch to the optimization of control loop
response, this can be accomplished by connecting a series
resistor-capacitor network from COMPa to SVOUT–—and
leaving COMPb open circuit.
VINREG (D3): Input Voltage Regulation Programming Pin.
Optionally connect this pin to the midpoint node formed
by a resistor-divider between VD and SVOUT–. When the
voltage on VINREG falls below approximately 2V with
respect to SVOUT–, a VINREG control loop servos COMPa
so as to decrease the power inductor current and thus
regulate VINREG at 2V with respect to SVOUT–. See the
Applications Information section.
If this input voltage regulation feature is not desired, connect VINREG to INTVCC.
TEMP+ (J1, J6): Temperature Sensor, Positive Input.
Emitter of a 2N3906-genre PNP bipolar junction transistor
(BJT). Optionally interface to temperature monitoring circuitry such as LTC®2997, LTC2990, LTC2974 or LTC2975.
Otherwise leave electrically open. Pins J1 and J6 are
electrically connected together internal to the LTM4651,
and thus it is only necessary to connect one TEMP+ pin
to monitoring circuitry. The remaining TEMP+ pin can be
used for redundant connectivity or routed to an ICT test
point for design-for-test considerations, as desired.

Collector and base of a 2N3906-genre PNP bipolar junction transistor (BJT). Optionally interface to temperature
monitoring circuitry such as LTC2997, LTC2990, LTC2974
or LTC2975. Otherwise leave electrically open. Pins J2
and J7 are electrically connected together internal to the
LTM4651, and thus it is only necessary to connect one
TEMP– pin to monitoring circuitry. The remaining TEMP–
pin can be used for redundant connectivity or routed to an
ICT test point for design-for-test considerations, as desired.
SW (H4): Switching Node of Switching Converter Stage.
Used for test purposes. May be routed a short distance
with a thin trace to a local test point to monitor switching
action of the converter, if desired, but do not route near any
sensitive signals; otherwise, leave electrically open circuit.
NC (A6 – 7, B2, B6 – 7, C1, C6 – 7, D6 – 7, E6 – 7, F6 – 7,
G6 – 7, H6 – 7, K6 – 7, L6 – 7): No Connect Pins, i.e., Pins
with No Internal Connection. The NC pins predominantly
serve to provide improved mounting of the module to the
board. In one’s layout, NC pins are permitted to remain
electrically unconnected or can be connected as desired,
e.g., connected to a VOUT– plane for heat-spreading purposes and/or to facilitate routing.

LTM4651
OPERATION
Power Module Description
The LTM4651 is a non-isolated switch mode DC/DC
power supply. It can provide up to 4A output current
with a few external input and output capacitors. Set by a
single resistor, RSET, the LTM4651 regulates a negative
output voltage, VOUT–. VOUT– can be set to as low as
–26.5V to as high as –0.5V. The LTM4651 operates from
a positive input supply rail, VIN, between 3.6V and 58V.
The LTM4651’s safe operating area is defined by: VIN +
|VOUT–| ≤ 58V. The typical application schematic is shown
in Figure 32. The output current capability of the LTM4651
is dependent on VIN and VOUT, as indicated in the page 1
graph. Though the LTM4651 is a ground-referred buck
converter topology—also known as a two-switch buckboost converter—it contains built-in level-shift circuitry
so that the RUN, CLKIN, and PGOOD pins are conveniently
referred to GND (not VOUT–).
The LTM4651 contains an integrated constant-frequency
current mode regulator, power MOSFETs, power inductor,
EMI filter and other supporting discrete components. The
nominal switching frequency range is from 400kHz to
3MHz, and the default operating frequency is 400kHz. It
can be externally synchronized to a clock, from 250kHz to
3MHz. See the Applications Information section.
The LTM4651 supports internal and external control loop
compensation. Internal loop compensation is selected by
connecting the COMPa and COMPb pins. Using internal
loop compensation, the LTM4651 has sufficient stability
12
margins and good transient performance with a wide
range of output capacitors, even ceramic-only output
capacitors. For external loop compensation, see the Applications Information section. LTpowerCAD® is available
for transient load step and stability analysis.
Input filter and noise cancellation circuitry reduces noisecoupling to the module’s inputs and outputs, ensuring the
module’s electromagnetic interference (EMI) meets the
limits of EN55022 Class B (see Figures 5 to 8).
Pulling the RUN pin below 1.2V forces the LTM4651 into
a shutdown state. A capacitor can be applied from ISETa
to SVOUT– to program the output voltage ramp-rate; or,
the default LTM4651 ramp-rate can be set by connecting
ISETa to ISETb; or, voltage tracking can be implemented
by interfacing rail voltages to the ISETa pin. See the Application Information section.
Multiphase operation can be employed by applying an
external clock source to the LTM4651’s synchronization
input, the CLKIN pin. See the Typical Applications section.
LDO losses within the module are reduced by connecting
EXTVCC to PGND through an RC-filter or by connecting
EXTVCC to a suitable voltage source.
The LTM4651 also features a spare control pin called
VINREG which can be used to reduce the input current
draw during input line sag (“brownout”) conditions. Connect VINREG to INTVCC when this feature is not needed.

LTM4651
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The typical LTM4651 application circuit is shown in Test
Circuit 1. External component selection is primarily determined by the maximum load current and output voltage.
Refer to Table 8 for recommended external component
values.
For completeness, ∆IPK-PK is given by:
Output Current Capability Varies as a Function of VIN
to VOUT– Conversion Ratios
where:
The output current capability of the LTM4651 has a strong
dependency on the operating input (VIN) and output (VOUT–)
voltages, as highlighted in the page 1 graph.
L is 4μH, the LTM4651’s power inductor value, and fSW is
the switching frequency of the LTM4651, in MHz.
For a practical design, ∆IPK-PK is designed to be less than
~2APK-PK.
The reason for this is inherent in the two-switch buckboost topology employed by the LTM4651. To protect
the primary power MOSFET (MT) from overstress (see
Simplified Block Diagram), its peak current (IPK) is limited
by control circuitry to 6A. When MT is on, observe that no
current flows to LTM4651’s output; furthermore, observe
that only when MT is off does current flow to the output
of the LTM4651. As a consequence of this arrangement:
for a given output voltage, current limit inception activates
sooner at low line (higher, larger duty cycle) than at high
line (lower, smaller duty cycle). A further consequence is:
for a given input voltage, the output power capability of
the LTM4651 is higher for lower-magnitude VOUT– (lower,
smaller duty cycle) than for higher-magnitude VOUT–
(higher, larger duty cycle). The combination of these effects
is shown the plots in the page 1 graph and described by
the following equation:


∆I
VIN •  IPK – PK–PK  • η
2 

IOUT(CAPABILITY) =
(1)
VIN – VOUT –
For a practical design, the LTM4651’s on-time of MT
each switching cycle should be designed to exceed the
LTM4651 control loop’s specified minimum on-time of
60ns, tON(MIN), (guardband to 90ns) i.e.:
where:
Be reminded of Notes 2, 3 and 5 in the Electrical Characteristics section regarding output current guidelines.
∆IPK-PK is the inductor ripple current, in amps, and η (unit
less) is the efficiency of the LTM4651.

(3)
where D (unitless) is the duty-cycle of MT, given by:
D=

Combining EQ. 4 with EQ. 1, it can be illustrative to see:


∆I
IOUT(CAPABILITY ) =(1–D)•  IPK – PK –PK  • η


(5)
In rare cases where the minimum on-time restriction is
violated, the frequency of the LTM4651 automatically and
gradually folds back down to one-fifth of its programmed
switching frequency to allow VOUT– to remain in regulation.

LTM4651
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Input Capacitors
The LTM4651 achieves low input conducted EMI noise due
to tight layout and high-frequency bypassing of MOSFETs
MT and MB within the module itself. A small filter inductor (400nH) is integrated in the input line (from VIN to VD)
provides further noise attenuation—again, local to the
switching MOSFETs. The VD and VIN pins are available
for external input capacitors—VD and VINH—to form a
high-frequency � filter. As shown in the Simplified Block
Diagram, the ceramic capacitor CD on the LTM4651’s VD
pins handles the majority of the RMS current into the DC/
DC converter power stage and requires careful selection,
for that reason.
To meet the radiated emissions requirements of EN55022B,
an additional filter capacitor, CINOUT, is needed—connecting
from VIN to VOUT–. See Figures 5 to 8 for EMI performance.
The input capacitance, CD, is needed to filter the pulsed
current drawn by MT. To prevent excessive voltage sag
on VD, a low-effective series resistance (low-ESR) input
capacitor should be used, sized appropriately for the
maximum CD RMS ripple current:
ICD(RMS) =IPK • D• (1–D)
(6)
I CD(RMS) is maximum for D = 1/2. For D = 1/2,
ICD(RMS) = 1/2 • IPK or 3A. This simplification of the worstcase condition is commonly used for design purposes
because even significant deviations in D do not offer much
relief, in practice. Furthermore: note that ripple current
ratings from capacitor manufacturers are often based on
2000 hours of life; therefore, it is advisable to significantly
over-design CD, and/or choose a capacitor rated at a higher
temperature than required. Err on the side of caution and
contact the capacitor manufacturer to understand the
capacitor vendor’s derating methodology.
Several capacitors may be paralleled to meet the application’s target size, height, and CD RMS ripple current rating.
For lower input voltage applications, sufficient bulk input
capacitance is needed for CINL to counteract line sag and
transient effects during output load changes. Suggested
values for CD and CINH are found in Table 8. Take note
that CD is connected from VD to VOUT–, whereas CINH and
CINL are connected from VIN to PGND; this is deliberate.
14
A final precaution regarding ceramic capacitors concerns
the maximum input voltage rating of the LTM4651’s VIN,
SVIN, and VD pins. A ceramic input capacitor combined with
trace or cable inductance forms a high Q (underdamped)
tank circuit. If the LTM4651 circuit is plugged into a live
supply, the input voltage can ring to twice its nominal
value, possibly exceeding the device’s rating. This situation is easily avoided; see the Hot-Plugging Safely section.
Output Capacitors
Output capacitors COUTH and COUTL are applied to VOUT– of
the LTM4651: sufficient capacitance and low ESR are called
for, to meet the output voltage ripple, loop stability, and
transient requirements. COUTL can be a low ESR tantalum
or polymer capacitor. COUTH is a ceramic capacitor. The
typical output capacitance is 22μF (type X5R material, or
better), if ceramic-only output capacitors are used.
For highest reliability designs, polarized output capacitors
(VOUTL) are not recommended, as there is a possibility of
a diode-drop of reverse voltage appearing transiently on
VOUT– during rapid application of input voltage or when
RUN is toggled logic high (see Figures 33). When polarized
capacitors are used on VOUT–, contact the capacitor vendor
to understand what reverse voltage their polarized capacitor can withstand. Be advised, polarized capacitor reverse
voltage rating is sometimes temperature-dependent.
Output voltage ripple (∆VOUT(PK-PK)–) is governed by
charge lost in COUTH and COUTL while MT is on, in addition
to the contribution of a resistive drop across the ESR of
the output capacitors. This is expressed by:
∆VOUT(PK–PK) ≈
ILOAD •D ILOAD •ESR
+
COUT • fSW
D
(7)
Table 8 shows a matrix of suggested output capacitors
optimized for transient step-loads that are 50% of the full
load capability for that combination of VIN, VOUT–, and fSW.
The table optimizes total equivalent ESR and total bulk
capacitance to yield the stated transient-load performance.
Additional output filtering may be required by the system
designer, if further reduction of output ripple or dynamic
transient spike is required. The LTpowerCAD design tool
is available for transient and stability analysis.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Forced Continuous Operation
Leave the CLKIN pin open circuit to command the LTM4651
for forced continuous operation. In this mode, the control
loop is allowed to command the inductor peak current
to approximately –1A, allowing for significant negative
average current.
Clocking the CLKIN pin at a frequency within ±40% of
the target switching frequency commanded by the fSET
pin synchronizes MT’s turn-on to the rising edge of the
CLKIN pin.
equals VGNDSNS—after which, the DC/DC converter commences switching action and VOUT– is ramped according
to the voltage commanded by ISETa.
Since the LTM4651 control loop servos its GNDSNS
voltage to match that of ISETa’s, the LTM4651’s output
can be configured to track any voltage applied to ISETa,
referenced to SVOUT–.
The LTM4651 can track the mirror-image of a positive rail
to generate the negative half of a split-supply, as seen in
Figure 37.
Output Voltage Programming, Tracking and Soft-Start
Optional Diodes to Guard Against Overstress
The LTM4651 regulates its output voltage, VOUT–, according
to the differential voltage present across ISETa and SVOUT–.
Just prior to output voltage start-up, a mechanism exists
whereby a diode-drop of reverse polarity can appear on
VOUT–. See the simplified Block Diagram and observe: just
prior to output voltage start-up, SVIN bias current (ISVIN)
flows through the module’s control IC, to SVOUT–; from
there, the bias current (now ISVOUT–) flows into VOUT– and
through MB’s body diode, to SW. This current (now IL)
continues to flow—though the 4μH power inductor—to
PGND and ground, closing the control IC bias circuit’s
path. It is this current through MB’s body diode that creates a diode-drop of reverse polarity (positive voltage) on
VOUT–, as shown in Figure 33. The voltage excursion is
highest when RUN toggles high because that is the instant
when INTVCC powers-up, with a corresponding increase
in ISVIN/ISVOUT–/IL current flow. With higher current flow,
the forward voltage drop (VF) of MB’s body diode—and
thus, the positive voltage excursion on VOUT– —is higher.
In most applications, the output voltage is set by simply connecting a resistor, RSET, from ISETa to SVOUT–, according to:
RSET =
–VOUT –
50µA
(8)
Since the LTM4651 control loop servos its output voltage according to the voltage between ISETa and SVOUT–:
placing a capacitor, CSS, parallel to RSET configures the
ramp-up rate of ISETa and thus VOUT–. In the time domain,
the output voltage ramp-up after the RUN pin is toggled
from low to high (t = 0s) is given by:
t


–


R
•C
VOUT (t) =IISETa •RSET •  1– e SET SET 




–
(9)
The soft-start time, tSS, is defined as the time it takes for
VOUT– to ramp from 0V to 90% of its final value:
TSS = –RSET •CSET •In(1– 0.9)
(10)
TSS = 2.3 • RSET •CSET
(11)
or
A default value of CSET = 1.5nF can be implemented by
connecting ISETa to ISETb. For other ramp-up rates, connect an external CSET capacitor parallel to RSET.

stays in a sleep mode, keeping MT and MB off until VISETa
If this transient voltage excursion is unwelcome for the
load or polarized output capacitors, minimize it with a
low VF Schottky diode that straddles VOUT– and PGND (see
Figure 32 circuit and Figure 33 performance). Additionally, the voltage excursion can be empirically reduced by
increasing output capacitance.

Power Module Protection
VSUPPLY
The LTM4651’s current mode control architecture provides
fast cycle-by-cycle current limit in an overcurrent condition, as shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section. If the output voltage collapses sufficiently due to
an overload or short-circuit condition, minimum on-time
will be violated (EQ. 3) and the internal oscillator will then
fold-back automatically to one-fifth of the LTM4651’s
programmed switching frequency—hereby reducing the
output current and affording the load a chance to recover.
The LTM4651 features input overvoltage shutdown
protection: when VIN+|VOUT–| > 68V, switching action
ceases (with 4V of hysteresis)—however, be advised that
this protection is only active outside the LTM4651’s safe
operating area (see Note 1 and Note 4 of the Electrical
Characteristics table).
The LTM4651 ceases switching action if internal temperatures exceed 165°C. The control IC resumes operation
after a 10°C cool-down hysteresis. Note that these typical
parameters are based on measurements in a lab oven and
are not production tested. This overtemperature protection
is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum rated junction temperature
will be exceeded when this overtemperature protection is
active. Continuous operation above the specified absolute
maximum operating junction temperature may impair
device reliability or permanently damage the device.
The LTM4651 does not feature any specialized output
overvoltage protection beyond what is inherent to the
control loop’s servo mechanism.
RUN Pin Enable
The RUN pin is used to enable the power module or sequence the power module. The threshold is 1.2V. The RUN
pin can be used to provide an undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
function by connecting a resistor divider from the input
supply to the RUN pin, as shown in Figure 3. Undervoltage
lockout keeps the LTM4651 in shutdown until the supply
input voltage is above a certain voltage programmed by

where VIN(ON) is the input voltage at which the undervoltage lockout is overcome and the supply turns on. RA may

The VIN turn-off voltage, VIN(OFF) is given by:
R

VIN(OFF) = 1.07V •  A +1
 RB 
(16)
If UVLO is not needed, RUN can be connected to LTM4651’s
VD or VIN pins.
When RUN is below its threshold, UVLO is engaged, MT
and MB are turned off, INTVCC ceases to be regulated,
and ISETa is discharged to SVOUT– by internal circuitry.
Loop Compensation
External loop compensation may be preferred for some
applications and can be implemented easily, as follows:
leave COMPb open circuit; connect a series-RC network
(RTH and CTH) from COMPa to SVOUT–; in some instances,
connect a capacitor (CTHP) from COMPa to SVOUT– (paralleling the RTH-CTH series-RC network). See Table 8 for
suggested input and output capacitances for a variety of
operating conditions. Additionally, the LTpowerCAD design
tool is available for transient and stability analysis.

LTM4651
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Hot-Plugging Safely
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic
capacitors make them an attractive option for the input
bypass capacitors (CD and CINH) of the LTM4651. However,
these capacitors can cause problems if the LTM4651 is
plugged into a live supply (see Linear Technology Application Note 88 for a complete discussion). The low
loss ceramic capacitor combined with stray inductance
in series with the power source forms an under damped
tank circuit, and the voltage at the VIN pin of the LTM4651
can ring to twice the nominal input voltage, possibly exceeding the LTM4651’s rating and damaging the part. If
the input supply is poorly controlled or the user will be
plugging the LTM4651 into an energized supply, the input
network should be designed to prevent this overshoot by
introducing a damping element into the path of current
flow. This is often done by adding an inexpensive electrolytic bulk capacitor (CINL) across the input terminals
of the LTM4651. The selection criteria for CINL calls for:
an ESR high enough to damp the ringing; a capacitance
value several times larger than CINH. CINL does not need
to be located physically close to the LTM4651; it should
be located close to the application board’s input connector, instead.
INTVCC and EXTVCC Connection
When RUN is logic high, an internal low dropout regulator regulates an internal supply, INTVCC, that powers the
control circuitry for driving LTM4651’s internal MOSFETs.
INTVCC is regulated at 3.3V above VOUT–. In this manner,
the LTM4651’s INTVCC is directly powered from SVIN, by
default. The gate driver current through the LDO is about
20mA for a typical 1MHz application. The internal LDO
power dissipation can be calculated as:
PLDO_LOSS(INTVCC) = 20mA •(SVIN +| VOUT – | –3.3V)
(17)
The LDO draws current off of EXTVCC instead of SVIN when
EXTVCC is tied to a voltage higher than 3.2V above VOUT– and
SVIN is 5V above VOUT–. For output voltages at or below
–4V, this pin can be connected to PGND through an RCfilter. When the internal LDO derives power from EXTVCC
instead of SVIN, the internal LDO power dissipation is:
PLDO_LOSS(EXTVCC) = 20mA •(| VOUT – | –3V)
18
The recommended value of the resistor between PGND and
EXTVCC is roughly |VOUT–| • 4Ω/V. This resistor, REXTVCC,
must be rated to continually dissipate (0.02A)² • REXTVCC.
The primary purpose of this resistor is to prevent EXTVCC
overstress under a fault condition. For example, when an
inductive short-circuit is applied to the module’s output,
VOUT– may be briefly dragged above EXTVCC— forwardbiasing the VOUT–-to-EXTVCC body diode. This resistor
limits the magnitude of current flow into EXTVCC. Bypass
EXTVCC to VOUT– with 1μF of X5R (or better) MLCC.
Multiphase Operation
Multiple LTM4651 devices can be paralleled for higher
output current applications. For lowest input and output
voltage and current ripples, it is advisable to synchronize
paralleled LTM4651s to an external clock (within ±40%
of the target switching frequency set by fSET—see Test
Circuit 1). See Figure 34 for an example of a synchronizing circuit.
LTM4651 modules can be paralleled without synchronizing
circuits: just be aware that some beat-frequency ripple will
be present in the output voltage and reflected input current
by virtue of the fact that such modules are not operating
at identical, synchronized switching frequencies.
The LTM4651 device is an inherently current mode controlled device, so parallel modules will have good current
sharing’s shown in Figure 35. This helps balance the
thermals on the design.
To parallel LTM4651s, connect the respective COMPa,
ISETa, and GNDSNS pins of each LTM4651 together to
share the current evenly. In addition, tie the respective RUN
pins of paralleled LTM4651 devices together, to ensure
proper start-up and shutdown behavior. Figure 34 shows
a schematic of LTM4651 devices operating in parallel.
Note that for parallel applications, EQ. 8 becomes:

50µA •N

where N is the number of LTM4651 modules in parallel
configuration.
Depending on the duty cycle of operation (EQ. 4), the
output voltage ripple achieved by paralleled, synchronized
LTM4651 modules may be considerably smaller than what
is yielded by EQ. 7. Application Note 77 provides a detailed
explanation of multiphase operation (relevant to parallel
LTM4651 applications) pertaining to noise reduction and
output and input ripple current cancellation. Regardless
of ripple current cancellation, it remains important for the
output capacitance of paralleled LTM4651 applications
to be designed for loop stability and transient response.
LTpowerCAD is available for such analysis.
Figure 4 illustrates the RMS ripple current reduction as
a function of the number of interleaved (paralleled and
synchronized) LTM4651 modules—derived from Application Note 77.
Radiated EMI Noise
The generation of radiated EMI noise is an inherent disadvantage of switching regulators. Fast switching turn-on and
turn-off of the power MOSFETs—necessary for achieving
high efficiency—create high-frequency (~30MHz+) ∆l/∆t
changes within DC/DC converters. This activity tends to
be the dominant source of high-frequency EMI radiation
in such systems. The high level of device integration
within LTM4651—including optimized gate-driver and
critical front-end � filter inductor—delivers low radiated
EMI noise performance. Figures 5 to 8 show typical examples of LTM4651 meeting the radiated emission limits
established by EN55022 Class B.
Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating
The thermal resistances reported in the Pin Configuration
section of this data sheet are consistent with those parameters defined by JESD51-12 and are intended for use
with finite element analysis (FEA) software modeling tools
that leverage the outcome of thermal modeling, simulation, and correlation to hardware evaluation performed on
a µModule package mounted to a hardware test board.
The motivation for providing these thermal coefficients is
found in JESD51-12 (“Guidelines for Reporting and Using
Electronic Package Thermal Information”).
Many designers may opt to use laboratory equipment
and a test vehicle such as the demo board to predict the
µModule regulator’s thermal performance in their application at various electrical and environmental operating
conditions to compliment any FEA activities. Without FEA
software, the thermal resistances reported in the Pin Configuration section are, in and of themselves, not relevant to
providing guidance of thermal performance; instead, the
derating curves provided in this data sheet can be used
in a manner that yields insight and guidance pertaining to
one’s application-usage, and can be adapted to correlate
thermal performance to one’s own application.
The Pin Configuration section gives four thermal coefficients explicitly defined in JESD51-12; these coefficients
are quoted or paraphrased below:
1. θJA, the thermal resistance from junction to ambient, is
the natural convection junction-to-ambient air thermal
resistance measured in a one cubic foot sealed enclosure. This environment is sometimes referred to as
“still air” although natural convection causes the air to
move. This value is determined with the part mounted
to a JESD51-9 defined test board, which does not reflect
an actual application or viable operating condition.
2. θJCbottom, the thermal resistance from junction to the
bottom of the product case, is determined with all of
the component power dissipation flowing through the
bottom of the package. In the typical µModule regulator,
the bulk of the heat flows out the bottom of the package, but there is always heat flow out into the ambient
environment. As a result, this thermal resistance value
may be useful for comparing packages but the test
conditions don’t generally match the user’s application.
3. θJCtop, the thermal resistance from junction to top of
the product case, is determined with nearly all of the

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
component power dissipation flowing through the top of
the package. As the electrical connections of the typical
µModule regulator are on the bottom of the package, it
is rare for an application to operate such that most of
the heat flows from the junction to the top of the part.
As in the case of θJCbottom, this value may be useful
for comparing packages but the test conditions don’t
generally match the user’s application.
4. θJB, the thermal resistance from junction to the printed
circuit board, is the junction-to-board thermal resistance where almost all of the heat flows through the
bottom of the µModule regulator and into the board,
and is really the sum of the θJCbottom and the thermal
resistance of the bottom of the part through the solder
joints and through a portion of the board. The board
temperature is measured a specified distance from the
package, using a two sided, two layer board. This board
is described in JESD51-9.
A graphical representation of the aforementioned thermal resistances is given in Figure 9; blue resistances are
contained within the µModule regulator, whereas green
resistances are external to the µModule package.
As a practical matter, it should be clear to the reader that
no individual or sub-group of the four thermal resistance
parameters defined by JESD51-12 or provided in the
Pin Configuration section replicates or conveys normal
operating conditions of a µModule regulator. For example,
in normal board-mounted applications, never does 100%
of the device’s total power loss (heat) thermally conduct
exclusively through the top or exclusively through bottom of the µModule package—as the standard defines
for θJCtop and θJCbottom, respectively. In practice, power
loss is thermally dissipated in both directions away from
the package—granted, in the absence of a heat sink and
airflow, a majority of the heat flow is into the board.
Within the LTM4651, be aware there are multiple power
devices and components dissipating power, with a consequence that the thermal resistances relative to different
junctions of components or die are not exactly linear with
respect to total package power loss. To reconcile this
complication without sacrificing modeling simplicity—but
also not ignoring practical realities—an approach has been
taken using FEA software modeling along with laboratory
testing in a controlled-environment chamber to reasonably define and correlate the thermal resistance values
supplied in this data sheet: (1) Initially, FEA software is
used to accurately build the mechanical geometry of the
LTM4651 and the specified PCB with all of the correct
material coefficients along with accurate power loss
source definitions; (2) this model simulates a softwaredefined JEDEC environment consistent with JESD51-9 and
JESD51-12 to predict power loss heat flow and temperature
readings at different interfaces that enable the calculation
of the JEDEC-defined thermal resistance values; (3) the
model and FEA software is used to evaluate the LTM4651
with heat sink and airflow; (4) having solved for and
analyzed these thermal resistance values and simulated
various operating conditions in the software model, a
thorough laboratory evaluation replicates the simulated

conditions with thermocouples within a controlled environment chamber while operating the device at the same
power loss as that which was simulated. The outcome of
this process and due diligence yields the set of derating
curves provided in later sections of this data sheet, along
with well-correlated JESD51-12-defined θ values provided
in the Pin Configuration section of this data sheet.
The –5V, –15V and –24V power loss curves in Figures 10,
11 and 12 respectively can be used in coordination with
the load current derating curves in Figures 13 to 30 for
calculating an approximate θJA thermal resistance for the
LTM4651 with various heat sinking and air flow conditions.
These thermal resistances represent demonstrated
performance of the LTM4651 on DC2328A hardware; a
4-layer FR4 PCB measuring 99mm × 133mm × 1.6mm using
outer and inner copper weights of 2oz and 1oz, respectively.
The power loss curves are taken at room temperature,
and are increased with multiplicative factors with ambient
temperature. These approximate factors are listed in Table 2.
(Compute the factor by interpolation, for intermediate
temperatures.) The derating curves are plotted with the
LTM4651’s output initially sourcing its maximum output
capability (see Eq. 5) and the ambient temperature at 30°C.
The output voltages are –5V, –15V and –24V. These are
chosen to include the lower and higher output voltage
ranges for correlating the thermal resistance. In all derating curves, the switching frequency of operation follows
guidance provided by Table 1. Thermal models are derived
from several temperature measurements in a controlled
temperature chamber along with thermal modeling analysis.
The junction temperatures are monitored while ambient
temperature is increased with and without air flow, and with
and without a heat sink attached with thermally conductive
adhesive tape. The power loss increase with ambient
temperature change is factored into the derating curves.
The junctions are maintained at 120°C maximum while
lowering output current or power while increasing ambient
temperature. The decreased output current decreases the
internal module loss as ambient temperature is increased.
The monitored junction temperature of 120°C minus the
ambient operating temperature specifies how much module
22
temperature rise can be allowed. As an example in Figure 26,
the load current is derated to 1A at 60°C ambient with
200LFM airflow and no heat sink and the room temperature
(25°C) power loss for this 12VIN to –24VOUT at 1A out
condition is 3.55W. A 3.9W loss is calculated by multiplying
the 3.55W room temperature loss from the 12VIN to
–24VOUT power loss curve at 1A (Figure 12), with the 1.1
multiplying factor at 60°C ambient (from Table 2). If the
60°C ambient temperature is subtracted from the 120°C
junction temperature, then the difference of 60°C divided
by 3.9W yields a thermal resistance, θJA, of 15.4°C/W—in
good agreement with Table 4. Tables 3, 4 and 5 provide
equivalent thermal resistances for –5V, –15V and –24V
outputs with and without air flow and heat sinking. The
derived thermal resistances in Tables 3, 4 and 5 for the
various conditions can be multiplied by the calculated
power loss as a function of ambient temperature to
derive temperature rise above ambient, thus maximum
junction temperature. Room temperature power loss
can be derived from the efficiency curves in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section and adjusted with
ambient temperature multiplicative factors from Table 2.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Safety Considerations
The LTM4651 does 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 the unit from catastrophic failure.
The fuse or circuit breaker, if used, should be selected to
limit the current to the regulator in case of a MT MOSFET
fault. If MT fails, the system’s input supply will source
very large currents to PGND through MT. This can cause
excessive heat and board damage depending on how
much power the input voltage can deliver to this system.
A fuse or circuit breaker can be used as a secondary fault
protector in this situation. The LTM4651 does feature
overcurrent and overtemperature protection.
Layout Checklist/Example
The high integration of LTM4651 makes the PCB board
layout straightforward. However, to optimize its electrical
and thermal performance, some layout considerations
are still necessary.
• Use large PCB copper areas for high current paths,
including VIN, PGND and VOUT–. Doing so helps to
minimize the PCB conduction loss and thermal stress.
• Place high frequency ceramic input and output (and, if
used, input-to-output) capacitors next to the VIN, VD,
PGND and VOUT– pins to minimize high frequency noise.
• Place a dedicated power ground layer underneath the
LTM4651.
• To minimize the via conduction loss and reduce module
thermal stress, use multiple vias for interconnection
between top layer and other power layers.
• Do not put vias directly on pads, unless they are capped
or plated over.
• Use a separate SVOUT– copper plane for components
connected to signal pins. Connect SVOUT– to VOUT–
directly under the module.
• For parallel module applications, connect the VOUT–,
GNDSNS, RUN, ISETa, COMPa and PGOOD pins together
as shown in Figure 41.
• Bring out test points on the signal pins for monitoring.
Figure 31 gives a good example of the recommended
LTM4651 layout.
