Complete Solution in <1cm (Single-Sided PCB) or
The LTM®4657 is a complete 8A step-down switching
mode µModule (micromodule) regulator in a tiny 6.25mm
× 6.25mm × 3.87mm BGA package. Included in the pack-
age are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor and
support components. Operating over an input voltage
range of 3.1V to 20V, the LTM4657 supports an output
voltage range of 0.5V to 5.5V, set by a single external
resistor. Its high efficiency design delivers up to 8A con-
tinuous output current. Only bulk input and output capac-
itors are needed.

LTM4657
OPERATION
The LTM4657 is a standalone nonisolated switch mode
DC/DC power supply. It can deliver up to 8A DC output
current with few external input and output capacitors.
This module provides precisely regulated output voltage
adjustable between 0.5V to 5.5V via one external resistor
over a 3.1V to 20V input voltage range. The typical appli-
cation schematic is shown in Figure 23.
Furthermore, in order to protect the internal power
MOSFET devices against transient voltage spikes, the
LTM4657 constantly monitors the VIN pin for an over-
voltage condition. When V rises above 24.5V, the reg-
IN
ulator suspends operation by shutting off both power
MOSFETs. Once VIN drops below 21.5V, the regulator
immediately resumes normal operation. The regulator
does not execute its soft-start function when exiting an
overvoltage condition.
The LTM4657 contains an integrated constant on-time
valley current mode regulator, power MOSFETs, inductor,
and other supporting discrete components. The default
switching frequency is 500kHz. For switching noise-sensi-
tive applications, the switching frequency can be adjusted
by external resistors and the μModule regulator can be
externally synchronized to a clock within 30ꢀ of the set
frequency. See the Applications Information section.
Multiphase operation can be easily employed with the
synchronization and phase mode controls. Up to 6 phases
can be cascaded to run simultaneously with respect to
each other by programming the PHMODE pin to different
levels. The LTM4657 has MODE/CLKIN and CLKOUT pins
for PolyPhase operation of multiple devices or frequency
synchronization.
With current mode control and internal feedback loop
compensation, the LTM4657 module has sufficient sta-
bility margins and good transient performance with a
wide range of output capacitors, even with all ceramic
output capacitors.
Pulling the RUN pin to GND forces the controller into its
shutdown state, turning off both power MOSFETs and
most of the internal control circuitry. At light load currents,
discontinuous mode (DCM) operation can be enabled to
achieve higher efficiency compared to continuous mode
(CCM) by pulling the MODE/CLKIN pin to GND. The
TRACK/SS pin is used for power supply tracking
and soft-start programming. See the Applications
Information section.
Current mode control provides cycle-by-cycle fast current
limiting. Internal output overvoltage and undervoltage
comparators pull the open-drain PGOOD output low if the
output feedback voltage exits a 8ꢀ window around the
regulation point. Continuous operation is forced during
OV and UV condition except during start-up when the
TRACK pin is ramping up to 0.5V.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The typical LTM4657 application circuit is shown in
Figure 23. External component selection is primarily deter-
mined by the input voltage, the output voltage and the
maximum load current. Refer to Table 7 for specific exter-
nal capacitor requirements for a particular application.
shown in Figure 2, thus tying one of the internal 60.4k
resistors to the output. All of the VFB pins tie together with
one programming resistor as shown in Figure 2.

Input Decoupling Capacitors
for LTM4657. In the rare cases where the minimum duty
cycle is surpassed, the output voltage will still remain
in regulation, but the switching frequency will decrease
from its programmed value. Note that additional thermal
derating may be applied. See the Thermal Considerations
and Output Current Derating section in this data sheet.
The LTM4657 module should be connected to a low AC
impedance DC source. For the regulator, a 10µF input
ceramic capacitor is required for RMS ripple current
decoupling. Bulk input capacitance is only needed when
the input source impedance is compromised by long
inductive leads, traces or not enough source capacitance.
The bulk capacitor can be an aluminum electrolytic capac-
itor or polymer capacitor.

The PWM controller has an internal 0.5V reference
voltage. As shown in the Block Diagram, a 60.4k internal

The programmable operating frequency range is from
400kHz to 3MHz.
Frequency Synchronization and Clock In
The power module has a phase-locked loop comprised of
an internal voltage controlled oscillator and a phase detec-
tor. This allows the internal top MOSFET turn-on to be
locked to the rising edge of the external clock. The exter-
nal clock frequency range must be within 30ꢀ around
the resistor set operating frequency. A pulse detection
circuit is used to detect a clock on the CLKIN pin to turn
on the phase-locked loop. The pulse width of the clock has
to be at least 100ns. The clock high level must be above
1V and clock low level below 0.3V. During the start-up of
the regulator, the phase-locked loop function is disabled.
Discontinuous Current Mode (DCM)
In applications where low output ripple and high efficiency
at intermediate current are desired, discontinuous current
mode (DCM) should be used by connecting the MODE/
CLKIN pin to GND. At light loads the internal current com-
parator 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.
Forced Continuous Current Mode (CCM)
In applications where fixed frequency operation is more
critical than low current efficiency, and where the low-
est output ripple is desired, forced continuous opera-
tion should be used. Forced continuous operation can

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
LTM4657’s output voltage is in regulation.
The CLKOUT signal can be connected to the MODE/CLKIN
pin of the following LTM4657 stage to line up both the
frequency and the phase of the entire system. Tying the
PHMODE pin to INTV , GND or FLOAT generates a phase
CC
difference (between CLKIN and CLKOUT) of 180°, 120°, or
90° respectively, which corresponds to 2-phase, 3-phase
or 4-phase operation. A total of 6 phases can be cascaded
to run simultaneously out of phase with respect to each
other by programming the PHMODE pin of each LTM4657
to different levels. Figure 3 shows a 4-phase design and
a 6-phase design example for clock phasing.
Operating Frequency
The operating frequency of the LTM4657 is optimized
to achieve the compact package size and the minimum
output ripple voltage while still keeping high efficiency.
The default operating frequency is 500kHz. In most appli-
cations, no additional frequency adjustment is required.

Figure 4. RMS Input Ripple Current to DC Load Current Ratio as a Function of Duty Cycle
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.
The LTM4657 device is an inherently current mode con-
trolled device, so parallel modules will have very good
current sharing. This will balance the thermals on the
design. Please tie the RUN, TRACK/SS, FB and COMP pins
of each paralleling channel together. Figure 25 shows an
example of parallel operation and pin connection.

Pre-Biased Output Start-Up
Stability Compensation
There may be situations that require the power supply to
start up with some charge on the output capacitors. The
LTM4657 can safely power up into a pre-biased output

The LTM4657 has already been internally optimized and
compensated for all output voltages and capacitor combi-
nations including all ceramic capacitor applications when
COMPb is tied to COMPa. Please note that a 22pF to
47pF feedforward capacitor (C ) is required connecting

The LTM4657 accomplishes this by forcing discontinuous

reaches 0.5V reference voltage. This will prevent the BG
from turning on during the pre-biased output start-up
which would discharge the output.

SW Pins and Snubbering Circuit
The SW pin is generally for testing purposes by moni-
toring the pin. The SW pin can also be used to dampen
out switch node ringing caused by LC parasitic in the
switched current path. 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.
Differential Remote Sense Amplifier
An accurate differential remote sense amplifier is built into
the LTM4657 to sense output voltages accurately at the
remote load points. This is especially true for high current
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

means that is we take the difference in voltage across the
diode measured at two currents with a ratio of 10, the
resulting voltage is 198μV per Kelvin of the junction with
a zero intercept at 0 Kelvin.
2. θ
, the thermal resistance from junction to the
JCbottom
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 reg-
ulator, 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 resis-
tance value may be useful for comparing packages,
but the test conditions don’t generally match the user’s
application.

Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating
The thermal resistances reported in the Pin Configuration
section of the data sheet are consistent with those param-
eters defined by JESD 51-12 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 JESD 51-12 (Guidelines for Reporting and
Using Electronic Package Thermal Information).
3. θ
, the thermal resistance from junction to top of
JCtop
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 typ-
ical µModule regulator are on the bottom of the pack-
age, 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 θ
useful for comparing packages but the test conditions
don’t generally match the user’s application.
, this value may be
JCbottom
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 appli-
cation 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 per-
taining to one’s application usage, and can be adapted to
correlate thermal performance to one’s own application.
4. θJB, the thermal resistance from junction to the printed
circuit board, is the junction-to-board thermal resis-
tance where almost all of the heat flows through the
bottom of the µModule package and into the board,
and is really the sum of the θ
and the thermal
JCbottom
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.
A graphical representation of the aforementioned ther-
mal resistances is given in Figure 9; blue resistances are
contained within the μModule regulator, whereas green
resistances are external to the µModule package.
The Pin Configuration section gives four thermal coeffi-
cients 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 enclo-
sure. 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 95mm × 76mm PCB with four layers.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
FEA software is used to accurately build the mechanical
geometry of the LTM4657 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
JESD51-12 to predict power loss heat flow and tempera-
ture readings at different interfaces that enable the cal-
culation of the JEDEC-defined thermal resistance values;
(3) the model and FEA software is used to evaluate the
LTM4657 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 con-
trolled 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 the set
of derating curves shown in this data sheet. After these
laboratory tests have been performed and correlated to
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 regulator. For example,
in normal board-mounted applications, never does 100ꢀ
of the device’s total power loss (heat) thermally conduct
exclusively through the top or exclusively through bot-
tom of the µModule package—as the standard defines
for θ
and θ , respectively. In practice, power
JCbottom
JCtop
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 LTM4657 be aware there are multiple power
devices and components dissipating power, with a con-
sequence that the thermal resistances relative to differ-
ent junctions of components or die are not exactly linear
with respect to total package power loss. To reconcile
this complication without sacrificing modeling sim-
plicity—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,
the LTM4657 model, then the θ and θ are summed
JB
BA
together to provide a value that should closely equal the
θJA value because approximately 100ꢀ of power loss
flows from the junction through the board into ambient
with no airflow or top mounted heat sink.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The 1.0V, 1.5V, 3.3V and 5V power loss curves in
Figure 10 to 13 can be used in coordination with the load
current derating curves in Figure 14 to 20 for calculating
is subtracted from the 120°C junction temperature,
then the difference of 20°C divided by 1.2W equals a
16.8°C/W θJA thermal resistance. Table 4 specifies a
17°C/W value which is very close. Table 3, Table 4, Table 5
and Table 6 provide equivalent thermal resistances for
1.0V, 1.5V, 3.3V and 5V outputs with and without air-
flow and heat sinking. The derived thermal resistances
in Table 3, Table 4, Table 5 and Table 6 for the various
conditions can be multiplied by the calculated power loss
as a function of ambient temperature to derive tempera-
ture rise above ambient, thus maximum junction tem-
perature. Room temperature power loss can be derived
from the efficiency curves in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section and adjusted with the above ambi-
ent temperature multiplicative factors. The printed circuit
board is a 1.6mm thick 4-layer board with two ounce
copper for the two outer layers and one ounce copper
for the two inner layers. The PCB dimensions are 95mm
× 76mm. A Typical thermal image based on this PCB is
shown in Figure 21.
an approximate θ thermal resistance for the LTM4657
JA
with various airflow conditions. The power loss curves
are taken at room temperature, and are increased with a
multiplicative factor according to the ambient tempera-
ture. This approximate factor is: 1.2 for 120°C at junction
temperature. Maximum load current is achievable while
increasing ambient temperature as long as the junction
temperature is less than 120°C, which is a 5°C guard band
from maximum junction temperature of 125°C. When the
ambient temperature reaches a point where the junction
temperature is 120°C, then the load current is lowered to
maintain the junction at 120°C while increasing ambient
temperature up to 120°C. The derating curves are plotted
with the output current starting at 8A and the ambient
temperature at 30°C. The output voltages are 1.0V, 1.5V,
3.3V and 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 junc-
tion temperatures are monitored while ambient tempera-
ture 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
with increasing ambient temperature. The decreased
output current will decrease the internal module loss as
ambient temperature is increased. The monitored junction
temperature of 120°C minus the ambient operating tem-
perature specifies how much module temperature rise can
be allowed. As an example, in Figure 17 the load current
is derated to ~5.5A at ~100°C with no air flow or heat sink
and the power loss for the 12V to 1.5V at 5.5A output is
about 1.2W. The 1.2W loss is calculated with the ~1W
room temperature loss from the 12V to 1.5V power loss
curve at 5.5A, and the 1.2 multiplying factor at 120°C
junction temperature. If the 100°C ambient temperature

Safety Considerations
The LTM4657 modules do not provide galvanic isolation
from V to V . There is no internal fuse. If required,
• Do not put via directly on the pad, unless they are
capped or plated over.
• Bring out test points on the signal pins for monitoring.
IN
OUT
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 thermal
shutdown and over current protection.
• Keep separation between CLKIN, CLKOUT and FREQ
pin traces to minimize possibility of noise due to cross-
talk between these signals.

Layout Checklist/Example
The high integration of LTM4657 makes the PCB board
layout very simple and easy. However, to optimize its
electrical and thermal performance, some layout consid-
erations are still necessary.
ꢀ
ꢃꢄꢅ
• Use large PCB copper areas for high current paths,
including V , GND and V . It helps to minimize the
IN
OUT
PCB conduction loss and thermal stress.
ꢀ
ꢁꢂ
• Place high frequency ceramic input and output capac-
itors next to the V , PGND and V
pins to minimize
IN
OUT
high frequency noise.
ꢌꢂꢍ
• Place a dedicated power ground layer underneath
the unit.
ꢆꢇꢈꢉ ꢊꢋꢋ
Figure 22. Recommended PCB Layout
• To minimize the via conduction loss and reduce module
thermal stress, use multiple vias for interconnection
between top layer and other power layers.
