LTM4630A Dual 18A or Single 36A DC/DC µModule Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Dual 18A or Single 36A Output The LTM®4630A is a dual 18A or single 36A output switch- n Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 18V (after date code ing mode step-down DC/DC µModule® (micromodule) 1720*) regulator with wider VOUT range and higher efficiency n Output Voltage Range: 0.6V to 8V (after date code than LTM4630. Included in the package are the switch- 1720*) ing controllers, power FETs, inductors and all supporting n components. Operating from an input voltage range of ±1.5% Maximum Total DC Output Error Over Line, 4.5V to 18V, the LTM4630A supports two outputs each Load and Temperature n with an output voltage range of 0.6V to 8V, each set by a Higher Light Load Efficiency and Wider VOUT Range single external resistor. Its high efficiency design delivers Than LTM4630 n up to 18A continuous current for each output. Only a few Differential Remote Sense Amplifier input and output capacitors are needed. The LTM4630A n Current Mode Control/Fast Transient Response is pin compatible with the LTM4620 and LTM4620A (dual n Multiphase Parallel Current Sharing Up to 144A 13A, single 26A) and the LTM4630 (dual 18A, single 36A). n Internal Temperature Monitor n Pin Compatible with the LTM4620A (Dual 13A, The device supports frequency synchronization, multi- phase operation, Burst Mode operation and output voltage Single 26A) and LTM4630 (Dual 18A, Single 36A) n tracking for supply rail sequencing and has an onboard Adjustable Switching Frequency or Synchronization n temperature diode for device temperature monitoring. High Overcurrent Foldback Protection n switching frequency and a current mode architecture enable Selectable Burst Mode® Operation, Pulse Skipping a very fast transient response to line and load changes Mode Operation without sacrificing stability. n Soft-Start/Voltage Tracking n Output Overvoltage Protection Fault protection features include overvoltage and n 16mm × 16mm × 4.41mm LGA and 16mm × 16mm × overcurrent protection. The LTM4630A is offered in 16mm 5.01mm BGA Packages × 16mm × 4.41mm LGA and 16mm × 16mm × 5.01mm BGA packages.
