APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
EXTV
An internal low dropout regulator produces an internal 5V
supply that powers the control circuitry and FET drivers.
Therefore, if the system does not have a 5V power rail,
the LTM4600 can be directly powered by V
driver current through LDO is about 18mA. The internal
LDO power dissipation can be calculated as:
P
The LTM4600 also provides an external gate driver volt-
age pin EXTV
recommended to connect EXTV
rail. Whenever the EXTV
5V LDO is shut off and an internal 50mA P-channel switch
connects the EXTV

Output Voltage Tracking
For the applications that require output voltage tracking,
several LTM4600 modules can be programmed by the
power supply tracking controller such as the LTC2923.
Figure 6 shows a typical schematic with LTC2923. Coin-
cident, ratiometric and offset tracking for V
falling can be implemented with different sets of resistor
values. See the LTC2923 data sheet for more details.

Discontinuous Operation and FCB Pin
The FCB pin determines whether the internal bottom
MOSFET remains on when the inductor current reverses.
There is an internal 4.75k pull-down resistor connecting
this pin to ground. The default light load operation mode
is forced continuous (PWM) current mode. This mode
provides minimum output voltage ripple.
In the application where the light load effi ciency is im-
portant, tying the FCB pin above 0.6V threshold enables
discontinuous operation where the bottom MOSFET turns
off when inductor current reverses. Therefore, the conduc-
tion loss is minimized and light load effi ciency is improved.
The penalty is that the controller may skip cycle and the
output voltage ripple increases at light load.
Paralleling Operation with Load Sharing
Two or more LTM4600 modules can be paralleled to provide
higher than 10A output current. Figure 7 shows the neces-
sary interconnection between two paralleled modules. The
