LTM4624 14VIN, 4A Step-Down DC/DC µModule Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Complete Solution in <1cm2 (Single-Sided PCB) or The LTM®4624 is a complete 4A step-down switching mode 0.5cm2 (Dual-Sided PCB) µModule® (micromodule) regulator in a tiny 6.25mm × n Wide Input Voltage Range: 4V to 14V 6.25mm × 5.01mm BGA package. Included in the package n Input Voltage Down to 2.375V with External Bias are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor and sup- n 0.6V to 5.5V Output Voltage port components. Operating over an input voltage range of n 4A DC, 5A Peak Output Current 4V to 14V or 2.375V to 14V with an external bias supply, n ±2% Total DC Output Voltage Error the LTM4624 supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to n Current Mode Control, Fast Transient Response 5.5V, set by a single external resistor. Its high efficiency n Output Voltage Tracking design delivers 4A continuous, 5A peak, output current. n Selectable Discontinuous Mode Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed. n Power Good Indicator The LTM4624 supports selectable discontinuous mode n Overvoltage, Overcurrent and Overtemperature operation and output voltage tracking for supply rail se- Protection quencing. Its high switching frequency and current mode n 6.25mm × 6.25mm × 5.01mm BGA Package control enable a very fast transient response to line and load changes without sacrificing stability. APPLICATIONS Fault protection features include overvoltage, overcurrent n Telecom, Datacom, Networking and Industrial and overtemperature protection. Equipment The LTM4624 is available with SnPb (BGA) or RoHS n Medical Diagnostic Equipment compliant terminal finish. n Data Storage Rack Units and Cards n Test and Debug Systems L, LT, LTC, LTM, µModule, LTpowerCAD, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Analog Devices, Inc.
