10A High Efficiency

DC/DC µModule

supply. Included in the package are the switching control-

ler, power FETs, inductor, and all support components.

Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V, the

LTM4600 supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V,

set by a single resistor. This high efficiency design delivers

10A continuous current (14A peak), needing no heat sinks

or airflow to meet power specifications. Only bulk input

and output capacitors are needed to finish the design.

The low profile package (2.8mm) enables utilization of

unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density

point of load regulation. High switching frequency and an

adaptive on-time current mode architecture enables a very

fast transient response to line and load changes without

sacrificing stability. Fault protection features include

integrated overvoltage and short circuit protection with

a defeatable shutdown timer. A built-in soft-start timer is

adjustable with a small capacitor.

The LTM4600 is packaged in a thermally enhanced, compact

(15mm × 15mm) and low profile (2.8mm) over-molded

Land Grid Array (LGA) package suitable for automated

assembly by standard surface mount equipment. The

LTM4600 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
