Information, Communication Systems
The LTM®4650-1A/LTM4650-1B is dual 25A or single 50A
output step-down µModule® (power module) regulator
with ±0.8% (LTM4650-1A) and ±1.5% (LTM4650-1B)
total DC output error with ±3% transient output error.
Included in the package are the switching controller,
power FETs, inductors, and all supporting components.
External compensation allows for fast transient response
to minimize output capacitance when powering FPGAs,
ASICs, and processors. With synchronized multiphase
parallel current sharing, six LTM4650-1 devices can deliver up to 300A. The LTM4650-1 is offered in a 16mm ×
16mm × 5.01 BGA package, with SnPb (BGA) or RoHS
compliant terminal finish.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTM4650-1 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
TJ ≈ TA. The LTM4650-1E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 125°C internal temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C internal operating temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTM4650-1I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C 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
impedance and other environmental factors.

Pin Functions
(Recommended to Use Test Points to Monitor Signal Pin Connections.)
PACKAGE ROW AND COLUMN LABELING MAY VARY
AMONG µModule PRODUCTS. REVIEW EACH PACKAGE
LAYOUT CAREFULLY.
VOUT1 (A1-A5, B1-B5, C1-C4): Power Output Pins. Apply
output load between these pins and GND pins. Recommend
placing output decoupling capacitance directly between
these pins and GND pins. Review Table 4.
GND (A6-A7, B6-B7, D1-D4, D9-D12, E1-E4, E10-E12,
F1-F3, F10-F12, G1, G3, G10, G12, H1-H7, H9-H12, J1,
J5, J8, J12, K1, K5-K8, K12, L1, L12, M1 , M12): Power
Ground Pins for Both Input and Output Returns.
VOUT2 (A8-A12, B8-B12, C9-C12): Power Output Pins.
Apply output load between these pins and GND pins. Recommend placing output decoupling capacitance directly
between these pins and GND pins. Review Table 4.
VOUTS1, VOUTS2 (C5, C8): This pin is connected to the top
of the internal top feedback resistor for each output. The
pin can be directly connected to its specific output, or
connected to DIFFOUT when the remote sense amplifier
is used. In paralleling modules, one of the VOUTS pins is
connected to the DIFFOUT pin in remote sensing or directly
to VOUT with no remote sensing. It is very important to
connect these pins to either the DIFFOUT or VOUT since
this is the feedback path, and cannot be left open. See the
Applications Information section.
fSET (C6): Frequency Set Pin. A 10µA current is sourced
from this pin. A resistor from this pin to ground sets a
voltage that in turn programs the operating frequency.
Alternatively, this pin can be driven with a DC voltage
that can set the operating frequency. See the Applications
Information section.
SGND (C7, D6, G6-G7, F6-F7): Signal Ground Pin. Return
ground path for all analog and low power circuitry. Tie a
single connection to the output capacitor GND in the application. See layout guidelines in Figure 13.
VFB1, VFB2 (D5, D7): The Negative Input of the Error
Amplifier for Each Channel. Internally, this pin is connected to VOUTS1 or VOUTS2 with a 60.4kΩ precision
resistor. Different output voltages can be programmed

for parallel operation. See the Applications Information
section for details.

and Soft-Start Inputs. Each channel has a 1.3µA pull-up
current source. When one channel is configured to be
master of the two channels, then a capacitor from this pin
to ground will set a soft-start ramp rate. The remaining
channel can be set up as the slave, and have the master’s
output applied through a voltage divider to the slave output’s track pin. This voltage divider is equal to the slave
output’s feedback divider for coincidental tracking. See
the Applications Information section.
COMP1, COMP2 (E6, E7): Current control threshold and
error amplifier compensation point for each channel. The
current comparator threshold increases with this control

An external RC filter circuit is required for control loop
compensation. See Applications Information section. Tie
the COMP pins together for parallel operation. Do not
drive this pin.

MODE_PLLIN (F4): Force Continuous Mode, Burst Mode
Operation, or Pulse-Skipping Mode Selection Pin and
External Synchronization Input to Phase Detector Pin.
Connect this pin to SGND to force both channels into
force continuous mode of operation. Connect to INTVCC

Operation
Power Module Description
The LTM4650-1 is a dual-output standalone nonisolated
switching mode DC/DC power supply with ±0.8% (A-Grade)
total DC output error over line, load and temperature variation. It can provide two 25A outputs with few external input
and output capacitors and setup components. This module
provides precisely regulated output voltages programmable
via external resistors from 0.6VDC to 1.8VDC over 4.5V to
15V input voltages. The typical application schematic is
shown in Figure 24.
The LTM4650-1 has dual integrated constant-frequency
current mode regulators and built-in power MOSFET
devices with fast switching speed. The typical switching
frequency is from 400kHz to 600kHz depending on output
voltage. For switching-noise sensitive applications, it can
be externally synchronized from 400kHz to 780kHz. A
resistor can be used to program a free run frequency on
the FSET pin. See the Applications Information section.
With current mode control, the LTM4650-1 module has
sufficient stability margins and good transient performance with a wide range of output capacitors, even with
all ceramic output capacitors.
Current mode control provides cycle-by-cycle fast current
limit and foldback current limit in an overcurrent condition.
Internal overvoltage and undervoltage comparators pull
the open-drain PGOOD outputs low if the output feedback
voltage exits a ±10% window around the regulation point.
As the output voltage exceeds 10% above regulation, the
bottom MOSFET will turn on to clamp the output voltage.
The top MOSFET will be turned off. This overvoltage protect
is feedback voltage referred.
Pulling the RUN pins below 1.1V forces the regulators into
a shutdown state, by turning off both MOSFETs. The TRACK
pins are used for programming the output voltage ramp and
voltage tracking during start-up or used for soft-starting
the regulator. See the Applications Information section.
10
The LTM4650-1 has a built-in 10pF high frequency filter
cap from COMP to SGND for each output. An external RC
filtering circuit is required to achieve fast Type II control
loop compensation. Table 4 provides a guide line for input,
output capacitances and RC comp values for several operating conditions. The Linear Technology µModule Power
Design Tool (LTpowerCAD®) will be provided for transient
and stability analysis. The VFB pin is used to program the
output voltage with a single external resistor to ground.
A differential remote sense amplifier is available for sensing the output voltage accurately on one of the outputs at
the load point, or in parallel operation sensing the output
voltage at the load point.
Multiphase operation can be easily employed with the
MODE_PLLIN, PHASMD, and CLKOUT pins. Up to
12 phases can be cascaded to run simultaneously with
respect to each other by programming the PHASMD pin to
different levels. See the Applications Information section.
High efficiency at light loads can be accomplished with
selectable Burst Mode operation or pulse-skipping operation using the MODE_PLLIN pin. These light load features
will accommodate battery operation. Efficiency graphs are
provided for light load operation in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section. See the Applications Information
section for details.
A general purpose temperature diode is included inside
the module to monitor the temperature of the module. See
the Applications Information section for details.
The switch pins are available for functional operation
monitoring and a resistor-capacitor snubber circuit can
be careful placed on the switch pin to ground to dampen
any high frequency ringing on the transition edges. See
the Applications Information section for details.

Output Total DC Accuracy and AC Transient
Performance
In modern ASIC and FPGA power supply designs, a tight
total voltage regulation window, ±3% for example, is required of the supply powering the core and periphery. To
meet this requirement, the supply’s DC voltage variance
plus any AC voltage variation which may occur during any
load step transient must fall within this allowed window.
The DC voltage variance is determined by the accuracies
of the supply’s reference voltage, resistor divider, load
regulation and line regulation over the operating temperature range. The AC voltage variance is determined by the
supply’s output voltage overshoot and undershoots in
response to a load transient condition for a given output
capacitor network.
Figure 2 shows a typical load step transient response
waveform together with DC voltage accuracy variance. For
a given allowable voltage regulation window, a tighter DC
voltage accuracy allows more margin for the AC variation
due to a load transient response. This increased margin
for AC variation allows for a reduction in the total output
capacitance required to meet the regulation window requirement. This allows for a reduced total solution cost
and footprint area.
LOAD STEP
For example, in an FPGA core voltage application, for a 12V
input, 0.9V output at 72A design, a total overall ±3% total
voltage regulation window is required in responding to a
25% load step transient. Figure 3 illustrates the benefit of
overall output capacitor reduction versus improved total
DC accuracy by using 100µF ceramic output capacitors.

REQUIRED OUTPUT CAPACITANCE (µF)
The typical LTM4650-1 application circuit is shown in

requirements for particular applications.

There are restrictions in the maximum VIN and VOUT stepdown ratio that can be achieved for a given input voltage.
Each output of the LTM4650-1 is capable of 98% duty
cycle, but the VIN to VOUT minimum dropout is still shown
as a function of its load current and will limit output current capability related to high duty cycle on the top side
switch. Minimum on-time tON(MIN) is another consideration
in operating at a specified duty cycle while operating at

Input Capacitors
The LTM4650-1 module should be connected to a low ACimpedance DC source. For the regulator input two 22µF
input ceramic capacitors are required for each channel
for RMS ripple current. A 47µF to 100µF surface mount
aluminum electrolytic bulk capacitor can be used for more
input bulk capacitance. This bulk input capacitor is only
needed if the input source impedance is compromised by
long inductive leads, traces or not enough source capacitance. If low impedance power planes are used, then this
bulk capacitor is not needed.
For a buck converter, the switching duty-cycle can be
estimated as:
D=
Figure 4. 4-Phase Parallel Configurations
In parallel operation, the VFB pins have an IFB current of 20nA
maximum each channel. To reduce output voltage error due
to this current, an additional VOUTS pin can be tied to VOUT,
and an additional RFB resistor can be used to lower the total
Thevenin equivalent resistance seen by this current. For
example in Figure 4, the total Thevenin equivalent resistance
of the VFB pin is (60.4k//RFB), which is 30.2k where RFB is
12
equal to 60.4k for a 1.2V output. Four phases connected
in parallel equates to a worse case feedback current of
4 • IFB = 80nA maximum. The voltage error is 80nA • 30.2k
= 2.4mV. If VOUTS2 is connected, as shown in Figure 2, to
VOUT, and another 60.4k resistor is connected from VFB2 to
ground, then the voltage error is reduced to 1.2mV. If the
voltage error is acceptable then no additional connections
are necessary. The onboard 60.4k resistor is 0.5% accurate
and the VFB resistor can be chosen by the user to be as
accurate as needed. All COMP pins are tied together for
current sharing between the phases. The TRACK/SS pins
can be tied together and a single soft-start capacitor can
be used to soft-start the regulator. The soft-start equation
will need to have the soft-start current parameter increased
by the number of paralleled channels. See Output Voltage
Tracking section.

Output Capacitors
Burst Mode Operation
The LTM4650-1 is designed for low output voltage ripple
noise and good transient response. The bulk output
capacitors defined as COUT are chosen with low enough
effective series resistance (ESR) to meet the output voltage ripple and transient requirements. COUT can be a low
ESR tantalum capacitor, the low ESR polymer capacitor
or ceramic capacitor. The typical output capacitance
range for each output is from 400µF to 600µF. Additional
output filtering may be required by the system designer,
if further reduction of output ripples 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 12.5A (25%) and
25A (50%) load step transient. The table optimizes total
equivalent ESR and total bulk capacitance to optimize the
transient performance. Stability criteria are considered in
the Table 4 matrix, and the Linear Technology LTpowerCAD Design Tool will be provided for stability analysis.
In multi LTM4650-1 paralleling applications, Table 4 RC
compensation value is still valid in terms of having one
set of RC filters on each of the paralleling modules while
connecting all the COMP, FB and VOUT pins together. See
Figure 29 and Multiphase Operation section. Multiphase
operation will reduce effective output ripple as a function of
the number of phases. Application Note 77 discusses this
noise reduction versus output ripple current cancellation,
but the output capacitance should be considered carefully
as a function of stability and transient response. The Linear
Technology LTpowerCAD Design Tool can calculate the
output ripple reduction as the number of implemented
phases increases by N times. A small value 10Ω to 50Ω
resistor can be place in series from VOUT to the VOUTS pin
to allow for a bode plot analyzer to inject a signal into the
control loop and validate the regulator stability. The same
resistor could be place in series from VOUT to DIFFP and
a bode plot analyzer could inject a signal into the control
loop and validate the regulator stability.
The LTM4650-1 is capable of Burst Mode operation on
each regulator in which the power MOSFETs operate intermittently based on load demand, thus saving quiescent
current. For applications where maximizing the efficiency
at very light loads is a high priority, Burst Mode operation
should be applied. Burst Mode operation is enabled with
the MODE_PLLIN pin floating. During this operation, the
peak current of the inductor is set to approximately one
third of the maximum peak current value in normal operation even though the voltage at the COMP pin indicates
a lower value. The voltage at the COMP pin drops when
the inductor’s average current is greater than the load
requirement. As the COMP voltage drops below 0.5V, the
BURST comparator trips, causing the internal sleep line
to go high and turn off both power MOSFETs.
In sleep mode, the internal circuitry is partially turned off,
reducing the quiescent current to about 450µA for each
output. The load current is now being supplied from the
output capacitors. When the output voltage drops, causing COMP to rise above 0.5V, the internal sleep line goes
low, and the LTM4650-1 resumes normal operation. The
next oscillator cycle will turn on the top power MOSFET
and the switching cycle repeats. Either regulator can be
configured for Burst Mode operation.
Pulse-Skipping Mode Operation
In applications where low output ripple and high efficiency at intermediate currents are desired, pulse-skipping
mode should be used. Pulse-skipping operation allows
the LTM4650-1 to skip cycles at low output loads, thus
increasing efficiency by reducing switching loss. Tying
the MODE_PLLIN pin to INTVCC enables pulse-skipping
operation. At light loads the internal current comparator
may remain tripped for several cycles and force the top
MOSFET to stay off for several cycles, thus skipping cycles.
The inductor current does not reverse in this mode. This
mode will maintain higher effective frequencies thus lower
output ripple and lower noise than Burst Mode operation.
Either regulator can be configured for pulse-skipping mode.

Forced Continuous Operation
Multiphase Operation
In applications where fixed frequency operation is more
critical than low current efficiency, and where the lowest
output ripple is desired, forced continuous operation should
be used. Forced continuous operation can be enabled by
tying the MODE_PLLIN pin to GND. In this mode, inductor current is allowed to reverse during low output loads,
the COMP voltage is in control of the current comparator
threshold throughout, and the top MOSFET always turns on
with each oscillator pulse. During start-up, forced continuous mode is disabled and inductor current is prevented
from reversing until the LTM4650-1’s output voltage is
in regulation. Either regulator can be configured for force
continuous mode.
For output loads that demand more than 25A of current, two
outputs in LTM4650-1 or even multiple LTM4650-1s can be
paralleled to run out of phase to provide more output current
without increasing input and output voltage ripples. The
MODE_PLLIN pin allows the LTM4650-1 to synchronize
to an external clock (between 400kHz and 780kHz) and the
internal phase-locked-loop allows the LTM4650-1 to lock
onto incoming clock phase as well. The CLKOUT signal
can be connected to the MODE_PLLIN pin of the following
stage to line up both the frequency and the phase of the
entire system. Tying the PHASMD pin to INTVCC, SGND, or
floating generates a phase difference (between
MODE_PLLIN and CLKOUT) of 120 degrees, 60 degrees,
or 90 degrees respectively. A total of 12 phases can be
cascaded to run simultaneously with respect to each other
by programming the PHASMD pin of each LTM4650-1
channel to different levels. Figure 5 shows a 2-phase
design, 4-phase design and a 6-phase design example
for clock phasing with the PHASMD table.

LTM4650-1
Applications Information
A multiphase power supply significantly reduces the
amount of ripple current in both the input and output capacitors. The RMS input ripple current is reduced by, and
the effective ripple frequency is multiplied by, the number
of phases used (assuming that the input voltage is greater
than the number of phases used times the output voltage).
The output ripple amplitude is also reduced by the number
of phases used when all of the outputs are tied together
to achieve a single high output current design.
In multi LTM4650-1s parallel applications, CTH and RTH
values in Table 4 are still valid to achieve a ±3% transient
response in a 25% load step. Connect one set of RC (RTH and
CTH) network to the COMP pin of each paralleling module
like a dual phase single output setup. Then connect the
COMP pins, FB pins, TRACK/SS pin and VOUT pins from
different modules together. See Figure 29 for an example
of parallel operation. LTpowerCAD Power Design Tool can
also be used to optimize loop compensation and transient
performance if only one set of RC (RTH and CTH) network
is to be added to the common COMP pins.
The LTM4650-1 device is an inherently current mode
controlled device, so parallel modules will have very good
current sharing. This will balance the thermals on the
design. Figure 29 shows an example of parallel operation
and pin connection.
Input RMS Ripple Current Cancellation
Application Note 77 provides a detailed explanation of
multiphase operation. The input RMS ripple current cancellation mathematical derivations are presented, and a graph
is displayed representing the RMS ripple current reduction
as a function of the number of interleaved phases. Figure 6
shows this graph.
Frequency Selection and Phase-Lock Loop
(MODE_PLLIN and fSET Pins)
The LTM4650-1 device is operated over a range of frequencies to improve power conversion efficiency. It is
recommended to operate the module at 400kHz for output
voltage below 1.0V, 500kHz for output voltage between
1.0V to 1.5V and 600kHz for output voltage above 1.5V,
for the best efficiency and inductor current ripple.
The LTM4650-1 switching frequency can be set with an
external resistor from the fSET pin to SGND. An accurate
10µA current source into the resistor will set a voltage
that programs the frequency or a DC voltage can be
applied. Figure 7 shows a graph of frequency setting
verses programming voltage. An external clock can be
applied to the MODE_PLLIN pin from 0V to INTVCC over
a frequency range of 400kHz to 780kHz. The clock input
high threshold is 1.6V and the clock input low threshold
is 1V. The LTM4650-1 has the PLL loop filter components
on board. The frequency setting resistor should always
be present to set the initial switching frequency before
locking to an external clock. Both regulators will operate
in continuous mode while being externally clock.
The output of the PLL phase detector has a pair of complementary current sources that charge and discharge the
internal filter network. When the external clock is applied
then the fSET frequency resistor is disconnected with
an internal switch, and the current sources control the
frequency adjustment to lock to the incoming external
clock. When no external clock is applied, then the internal
switch is on, thus connecting the external fSET frequency
set resistor for free run operation.

Minimum On-Time
Output Voltage Tracking
Minimum on-time tON is the smallest time duration that the
LTM4650-1 is capable of turning on the top MOSFET on
either channel. It is determined by internal timing delays,
and the gate charge required turning on the top MOSFET.
Low duty cycle applications may approach this minimum
on-time limit and care should be taken to ensure that:
Output voltage tracking can be programmed externally
using the TRACK pins. The output can be tracked up
and 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 LTM4650-1 uses
an accurate 60.4k resistor internally for the top feedback
resistor for each channel. Figure 8 shows an example of
coincident tracking. Equations:
VOUT
> tON(MIN)
VIN • FREQ
If the duty cycle falls below what can be accommodated
by the minimum on-time, the controller will begin to skip
cycles. The output voltage will continue to be regulated,
but the output ripple and current will increase. The on-time
can be increased by lowering the switching frequency. A
good rule of thumb is to keep on-time longer than 110ns.

until it reaches its final value. The master will continue to
its final value from the slave’s regulation point. Voltage
tracking is disabled when VTRACK is more than 0.6V. RTA

Figure 9 shows the coincident tracking waveforms.

The TRACK pin of the master can be controlled by a
capacitor placed on the master regulator TRACK pin to
ground. A 1.3µA current source will charge the TRACK
pin up to the reference voltage and then proceed up
to INTVCC. After the 0.6V ramp, the TRACK pin will no
longer be in control, and the internal voltage reference
will control output regulation from the feedback divider.
Foldback current limit is disabled during this sequence
of turn-on during tracking or soft-starting. The TRACK
pins are pulled low when the RUN pin is below 1.2V. The
total soft-start time can be calculated as:
⎛ C ⎞
= ⎜ SS ⎟ • 0.6
⎝ 1.3µA ⎠
Regardless of the mode selected by the MODE_PLLIN pin,
the regulator channels will always start in pulse-skipping
mode up to TRACK = 0.5V. Between TRACK = 0.5V and
0.54V, it will operate in forced continuous mode and revert
to the selected mode once TRACK > 0.54V. In order to
track with another channel once in steady state operation,
the LTM4650-1 is forced into continuous mode operation
18
Ratiometric tracking can be achieved by a few simple calculations and the slew rate value applied to the master’s
TRACK pin. As mentioned above, the TRACK pin has a
control range from 0 to 0.6V. The master’s TRACK pin
slew rate is directly equal to the master’s output slew rate
in Volts/Time. The equation:
MR
• 60.4k = RTB
SR
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 the 60.4k. RTA is derived from equation:
RTA =

where VFB is the feedback voltage reference of the regulator, and VTRACK is 0.6V. Since RTB is equal to the 60.4k
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 = 60.4k, and RTA = 60.4k in
Figure 8.
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 = 1.5V/1ms, and SR = 1.2V/1ms. Then
RTB = 76.8k. Solve for RTA to equal to 49.9k.
Each of the TRACK pins will have the 1.3µA current source
on when a resistive divider is used to implement tracking
on that specific channel. This will impose an offset on the
TRACK pin input. Smaller values resistors with the same
ratios as the resistor values calculated from the above
equation can be used. For example, where the 60.4k is
used then a 6.04k can be used to reduce the TRACK pin
offset to a negligible value.

Power Good
The PGOOD pins are open drain pins that can be used to
monitor valid output voltage regulation. This pin monitors
a 10% window around the regulation point. A resistor can
be pulled up to a particular supply voltage no greater than
6V maximum for monitoring.
Stability Compensation
The LTM4650-1 has a built-in 10pF high frequency filter
capacitor from COMP to SGND on each output channel. An
external RC filtering circuit is required to add from COMP
to SGND to achieve fast Type II control loop compensation.
Table 4 is provided for most application requirements. The
Linear Technology µModule Power Design Tool (LTpowerCAD) will be provided for other control loop optimization.
Run Enable
The RUN pins have an enable threshold of 1.4V maximum,
typically 1.25V with 150mV of hysteresis. They control the
turn on each of the channels and INTVCC. These pins can be
pulled up to VIN for 5V operation, or a 5V Zener diode can be
placed on the pins and a 10k to 100k resistor can be placed
up to higher than 5V input for enabling the channels. The
RUN pins can also be used for output voltage sequencing.
In parallel operation the RUN pins can be tie together and
controlled from a single control. See the Typical Application circuits in Figure 24.
INTVCC and EXTVCC
The LTM4650-1 module has an internal 5V low dropout
regulator that is derived from the input voltage. This regulator is used to power the control circuitry and the power
MOSFET drivers. This regulator can source up to 70mA,
and typically uses ~30mA for powering the device at the
maximum frequency. This internal 5V supply is enabled
by either RUN1 or RUN2.
EXTVCC allows an external 5V supply to power the
LTM4650-1 and reduce power dissipation from the internal
low dropout 5V regulator. The power loss savings can be
calculated by:
(VIN – 5V) • 30mA = PLOSS
EXTVCC has a threshold of 4.7V for activation, and a
maximum rating of 6V. When using a 5V input, connect
this 5V input to EXTVCC also to maintain a 5V gate drive
level. EXTVCC must sequence on after VIN, and EXTVCC
must sequence off before VIN.
Differential Remote Sense Amplifier
An accurate differential remote sense amplifier is provided
to sense low output voltages accurately at the remote
load points. This is especially true for high current loads.
The amplifier can be used on one of the two channels, or
on a single parallel output. It is very important that the
DIFFP and DIFFN are connected properly at the output,
and DIFFOUT is connected to either VOUTS1 or VOUTS2.
In parallel operation, the DIFFP and DIFFN are connected
properly at the output, and DIFFOUT is connected to
one of the VOUTS pins. Review the parallel schematics in
Figure 25 and review Figure 4.
SW Pins
The SW pins are generally for testing purposes by monitoring these pins. These pins can also be used to dampen
out switch node ringing caused by LC parasitic in the
switched current paths. Usually a series R-C combination is used called a snubber circuit. The resistor will
dampen the resonance and the capacitor is chosen to
only affect the high frequency ringing across the resistor.
If the stray inductance or capacitance can be measured or
approximated then a somewhat analytical technique can
be used to select the snubber values. The inductance is
usually easier to predict. It combines the power path board
inductance in combination with the MOSFET interconnect
bond wire inductance.
First the SW pin can be monitored with a wide bandwidth
scope with a high frequency scope probe. The ring frequency can be measured for its value. The impedance Z
can be calculated:
ZL = 2πfL,
where f is the resonant frequency of the ring, and L is the
total parasitic inductance in the switch path. If a resistor
is selected that is equal to Z, then the ringing should be
dampened. The snubber capacitor value is chosen so that

Temperature Monitoring
Measuring the absolute temperature of a diode is possible due to the relationship between current, voltage
and temperature described by the classic diode equation:
⎛ V ⎞
ID =IS • e ⎜ D ⎟
⎝ η• VT ⎠
or
I
VD = η• VT •In D
IS
where ID is the diode current, VD is the diode voltage, η
is the ideality factor (typically close to 1.0) and IS (saturation current) is a process dependent parameter. VT can
be broken out to:
VT =
k•T
q
where T is the diode junction temperature in Kelvin, q is
the electron charge and k is Boltzmann’s constant. VT is
approximately 26mV at room temperature (298K) and
scales linearly with Kelvin temperature. It is this linear
temperature relationship that makes diodes suitable temperature sensors. The IS term in the previous equation is
the extrapolated current through a diode junction when
the diode has zero volts across the terminals. The IS term
varies from process to process, varies with temperature,
20
and by definition must always be less than ID. Combining
all of the constants into one term:
KD =
η•k
q
where KD = 8.62 • 10−5, and knowing ln(ID/IS) is always
positive because ID is always greater than IS, leaves us
with the equation that:
I
VD = T (KELVIN) •KD •In D
IS
where VD appears to increase with temperature. It is common knowledge that a silicon diode biased with a current
source has an approximate –2mV/°C temperature relationship (Figure 10), which is at odds with the equation. In
fact, the IS term increases with temperature, reducing the
ln(ID/IS) absolute value yielding an approximate –2mV/°C
composite diode voltage slope.

The diode connected PNP transistor at the TEMP pin
can be used to monitor the internal temperature of the
LTM4650-1. See Figure 25 for an example.
Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating
The thermal resistances reported in the Pin Configuration
section of the data sheet are consistent with those parameters defined by JESD51-9 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—also
defined by JESD51-9 (“Test Boards for Area Array Surface
Mount Package Thermal Measurements”). The motivation
for providing these thermal coefficients is found in JESD
51-12 (“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 anticipate
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 the 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 typically gives four thermal
coefficients explicitly defined in JESD 51-12; 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
JESD 51-9 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 the junction-to-board
thermal resistance with all of the component power
dissipation flowing through the bottom of the package.
In the typical µModule, 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.
46501fc

LTM4650-1
Applications Information
3. θJCTOP, the thermal resistance from junction to top of
the product case, is determined with nearly all of the
component power dissipation flowing through the top
of the package. As the electrical connections of the
typical µModule 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 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 JESD 51-9.
A graphical representation of the aforementioned thermal
resistances is given in Figure 11; blue resistances are
contained within the µModule regulator, whereas green
resistances are external to the µModule.
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 JESD 51-12 or provided in the
Pin Configuration section replicates or conveys normal
operating conditions of a µModule. 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—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 a SIP (system-in-package) module, 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 µModule and the specified PCB with all
of the correct material coefficients along with accurate
power loss source definitions; (2) this model simulates
a software-defined JEDEC environment consistent with
JSED51-9 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 µModule 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. An outcome of this process
and due-diligence yields a set of derating curves provided
in other sections of this data sheet. After these laboratory
test have been performed and correlated to the µModule
model, then the θJB and θBA are summed together to correlate quite well with the µModule model with no airflow or
heat sinking in a properly define chamber. This θJB + θBA
value is shown in the Pin Configuration section and should
accurately equal the θJA value because approximately
100% of power loss flows from the junction through the
board into ambient with no airflow or top mounted heat
sink. Each system has its own thermal characteristics,
therefore thermal analysis must be performed by the user
in a particular system.
The LTM4650-1 module has been designed to effectively
remove heat from both the top and bottom of the package. The bottom substrate material has very low thermal
resistance to the printed circuit board. An external heat
sink can be applied to the top of the device for excellent
heat sinking with airflow.
Figure 12 shows a temperature plot of the LTM4650-1
with 12V input, 1.0V output at 50A without heat sink and
a no airflow condition.
Safety Considerations
The LTM4650-1 modules do not provide 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. The device does support over current protection.
A temperature diode is provided for monitoring internal
temperature, and can be used to detect the need for thermal
shutdown that can be done by controlling the RUN pin.

Power Derating
The 0.9V and 1.5V power loss curves in Figure 14 and
Figure 15 can be used in coordination with the load current
derating curves in Figure 16 to Figure 23 for calculating
an approximate θJA thermal resistance for the LTM46501 with various heat sinking and airflow conditions. The
power loss curves are taken at room temperature, and
are increased with a 1.2 multiplicative factor at 120°C.
The derating curves are plotted with CH1 and CH2 in
parallel single output operation starting at 50A of load
with low ambient temperature. The output voltages are
0.9V and 1.5V. These 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 temperature
chamber along with thermal modeling analysis.
The junction temperatures are monitored while ambient
temperature is increased with and without airflow. 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 will decrease the internal
module loss as ambient temperature is increased.
24
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 17, the load current is derated to ~35A at ~90°C
with 200LFM air but not heat sink and the power loss for
the 12V to 0.9V at 35A output is a ~5.6W loss. The 5.6W
loss is calculated with the ~4.7W room temperature loss
from the 12V to 0.9V power loss curve at 35A, and the 1.20
multiplying factor at 120°C junction temperature. If the
90°C ambient temperature is subtracted from the 120°C
junction temperature, then the difference of 30°C divided
5.5W equals a 5.4°C/W θJA thermal resistance. Table 2
specifies a 5.5°C/W value which is pretty close. Tables 2
and 3 provide equivalent thermal resistances for 0.9V and
1.5V outputs with and without airflow and heat sinking.
The derived thermal resistances in Tables 2 and 3 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 and adjusted with the above
ambient temperature multiplicative factors. The printed
circuit board is a 1.6mm thick 4-layer board with 2oz copper
on each layer. The PCB dimensions are 101mm × 114mm.
The BGA heat sinks are listed in Table 3.

Layout Checklist/Example
• Do not put via directly on the pad, unless they are
capped or plated over.
The high integration of LTM4650-1 makes the PCB board
layout very simple and easy. However, to optimize its
electrical and thermal performance, some layout considerations are still necessary.
• Use a separated SGND ground copper area for components connected to signal pins. Connect the SGND
to GND underneath the unit.
• For parallel modules, tie the VOUT, VFB, and COMP pins
together. Use an internal layer to closely connect these
pins together. The TRACK pin can be tied a common
capacitor for regulator soft-start.
• Use large PCB copper areas for high current paths,
including VIN, GND, VOUT1 and VOUT2. It helps to minimize the PCB conduction loss and thermal stress.
• Place high frequency ceramic input and output capacitors next to the VIN, PGND and VOUT pins to minimize
high frequency noise.
• Bring out test points on the signal pins for monitoring.
Figure 13 gives a good example of the recommended
layout. LGA and BGA PCB layouts are identical with the
exception of circle pads for BGA (see Package Description).
• 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 top layer and other power layers.
