DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4631 is a dual 10A or single 20A output switching
mode step-down DC/DC µModule® (power module) regulator.
Included in the package are the switching controller, power
FETs, inductors and all supporting components. Operating
from an input voltage range of 4.5V to 15V, the LTM4631
supports two outputs each with an output voltage range of
0.6V to 1.8V, each set by a single external resistor. Its high
efficiency design delivers up to 10A continuous current
for each output. Only a few input and output capacitors
are needed.
The device supports frequency synchronization, multi-
phase operation, Burst Mode operation and output voltage
tracking for supply rail sequencing and has an onboard
temperature diode for device temperature monitoring. High
switching frequency and a current mode architecture enable
a very fast transient response to line and load changes
without sacrificing stability.
Fault protection features include overvoltage and
overcurrent protection. The LTM4631 is offered in an
ultrathin 16mm × 16mm × 1.91mm LGA package. The
LTM4631 is Pb-free and ROHS compliant.
