LTM4636-1 40A µModule Regulator with Overvoltage/ Overtemperature Protection FEATURES DESCRIPTION n Overtemperature, Input/Output Overvoltage The LTM®4636-1 is a 40A step-down µModule® (power Protection module) switching regulator with stacked inductor as a n Trips Upstream Power Source or Circuit Breaker heat sink for heat dissipation and cooler operation in a n Stacked Inductor Acts as Heat Sink small package. The LTM4636-1 detects overtemperature n Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.7V to 15V and input/output overvoltage conditions and can trip an up- n 0.6V to 3.3V Output Voltage Range stream power supply or circuit breaker to protect itself and n ±1.3% Total DC Output Voltage Error (–40°C to 125°C) its load. The exposed inductor as a heat sink permits direct n Differential Remote Sense Amplifier for Precision contact with airflow from any direction. The LTM4636-1 Regulation can deliver 40W (12VIN, 1VOUT, 40A, 200LFM) with only n Current Mode Control/Fast Transient Response 40°C rise over the ambient temperature. Full-power 40W n Frequency Synchronization is delivered up to 83°C ambient and half-power 20W is n Parallel Current Sharing (Up to 240A) supported at 110°C ambient. n 88% Efficiency (12VIN, 1VOUT) at 40A The LTM4636-1 operates at 92%, 90% and 88% efficiency n Overcurrent Foldback Protection delivering 15A, 30A and 40A, respectively, to a 1V load n Overtemperature Shutdown (12VIN). The µModule regulator is scalable where four n 16mm × 16mm × 7.07mm BGA Package in current sharing deliver 160W with only 40°C rise and 88% efficiency (12VIN, 1VOUT, 400LFM). The LTM4636-1 APPLICATIONS is offered in 16mm × 16mm × 7.07mm BGA package. n All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
