LTM4601AHV 12A, 28VIN DC/DC µModule Regulator with PLL, Output Tracking and Margining FeaTuresDescripTion n Complete Switch Mode Power Supply The LTM®4601AHV is a complete 12A step-down switch n Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 28V mode DC/DC power supply with onboard switching con- n 12A DC Typical, 14A Peak Output Current troller, MOSFETs, inductor and all support components. n 0.6V to 5V Output Voltage The µModule regulator is housed in a small surface mount n Output Voltage Tracking and Margining 15mm × 15mm × 2.82mm LGA or 15mm × 15mm × n Redundant Mounting Pads for Enhanced 3.42mm BGA package. The LTM4601AHV LGA and BGA Solder-Joint Strength packages are designed with redundant mounting pads to n ParallelMultiple µModule ® Regulators for enhance solder-joint strength for extended temperature Current Sharing cycling endurance. Operating over an input voltage range n DifferentialRemote Sensing for Precision Regulation of 4.5V to 28V, the LTM4601AHV supports an output volt- n PLL Frequency Synchronization age range of 0.6V to 5V as well as output voltage tracking n ± 1.5% Total DC Error and margining. The high efficiency design delivers 12A n Current Foldback Protection (Disabled at Start-Up) continuous current (14A peak). Only bulk input and output n SnPb or RoHS Compliant Finish capacitors are needed to complete the design. n –55°C to 125°C Operating Temperature Range The low profile and light weight package easily mounts (LTM4601AHVMPV) in unused space on the back side of PC boards for high n Ultrafast™ Transient Response density point of load regulation. The µModule regulator n Up to 95% Efficiency at 5VIN, 3.3VOUT can be synchronized with an external clock for reducing n Programmable Soft-Start undesirable frequency harmonics and allows PolyPhase® n Output Overvoltage Protection operation for high load currents. n Enhanced (15mm × 15mm × 2.82mm) Surface Mount LGA and (15mm × 15mm × 3.42mm) BGA Packages An onboard differential remote sense amplifier can be used to accurately regulate an output voltage independent of load current. The LTM4601AHV is available with SnPb or applicaTions RoHS compliant terminal finish. n Telecom, Industrial and Networking Equipment L, LT, LTC and LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo, µModule and PolyPhase are registered trademarks and Ultrafast and LTpowerCAD are trademarks of Linear Technology n Military and Avionics Systems Corporation.
