Multiphase operation will reduce effective output ripple as
a function of the number of phases. Application Note 77
discusses this noise reduction versus output ripple cur-
rent cancellation, but the output capacitance will be more
afunctionofstabilityandtransientresponse.LTpowerCAD
also calculates the output ripple reduction as the number
of phases increases.
Burst Mode Operation
The LTM4616 is capable of Burst Mode operation on each
regulator in which the power MOSFETs operate intermit-
tentlybasedonloaddemand,thussavingquiescentcurrent.
For applications where maximizing the efficiency at very
light loads is a high priority, Burst Mode operation should
be applied. To enable Burst Mode operation, simply tie the
MODEpintoV .Duringthisoperation,thepeakcurrentof
