DC2378A-A - LTM4650 Demo Board | Dual Buck uModule Regulator, 4.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 15V, Vout = 0.6V to 1.8V @ 50A or Dual 25A
Demonstration circuit DC2378A-A features the LTM®4650EY, the high efficiency, high density, dual 25A, single 50A, switch mode step-down power module regulator. The input voltage is from 4.5V to 15V. The output voltage is programmable from 0.6V to 1.8V. DC2378A-A can deliver 25A maximum current from each channel. As explained in the data sheet, output current derating is necessary for certain VIN, VOUT, and thermal conditions. The board operates in continuous conduction mode in heavy load conditions. For high efficiency at low load currents, the MODE jumper (JP1) selects pulse-skipping mode for noise sensitive applications or Burst Mode® operation in less noise sensitive applications. Two outputs can be connected in parallel for a single 50A output solution with optional jumper resistors.
