QUICK START PROCEDURE
Figure 1. Demo Board Setup
Demonstration circuit DC1041A-B is an easy way to evalu-
ate the performance of the LTM4601. Please refer to
Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow the procedure below:
1. With the power supply off, connect the input power
supply, load and meters as shown in Figure 1. Preset
the load to 0A and power supply voltage within the
LTM4601’s operating input voltage range.
2. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical

3. Turn on the power at the input. The output voltage
should be 1.5V ±1%.
4. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the
load within the operating range and observe the output
voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency and other
parameters. Output ripple should be measured at J4
with a BNC cable.
5. For optional load transient test, apply an adjustable
pulse signal between IOSTEP (E3) and GND pins.
Pulse amplitude sets the current step. The pulse signal
should have very small duty cycle (<15%) to limit the
thermal stress on the transient load circuit. The output
transient current can be monitored at BNC connector
J3 (10mV/A).
6. For Margining function test, place jumper MARG0 and
MARG1 in the configurations shown in the following
table, measure the output voltage at J4.
