Key Differentiators
- Dual 25A or single 50A output capability (vs LTM4630AEY#PBF)
- Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 125°C) (vs LTM4650MPY)
- Integrated inductors and power FETs (vs Discrete solutions)
Design Notes
At 50A output, power dissipation can be significant. Use a multi-layer PCB with thermal vias under the module to conduct heat to inner ground planes. The BGA package's exposed pad should be soldered to a large copper area. Ensure adequate airflow or heatsinking for high ambient temperature operation.
Place input and output capacitors close to the module pins to minimize parasitic inductance. Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors for high-frequency decoupling. The datasheet recommends specific capacitor values and types; follow them for stable operation. Route sense lines as differential pairs to avoid noise pickup.
Do not exceed the maximum input voltage of 15V. Ensure the output voltage is set correctly with the external resistor. The TRACK/SS pins should be connected to a capacitor for proper soft-start; leaving them floating may cause startup issues. Verify the module's thermal derating at high currents.
