LTM4649 10A Step-Down DC/DC µModule Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n 10A DC Output Current The LTM®4649 is a complete 10A high efficiency switching n Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 16V mode step-down DC/DC µModule® regulator in a 9mm × n Output Voltage Range: 0.6V Up to 3.3V 15mm × 4.92 BGA package. Included in the package are the n No Heat Sink or Current Derating Up to 85°C Ambi- switching controller, power FETs, inductor, and all support ent Temperature components. Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V n ±1.5% Total DC Voltage Output Error to 16V, the LTM4649 supports an output voltage range of n Multiphase Operation with Current Sharing 0.6V to 3.3V, set by a single external resistor. This high n Remote Sense Amplifier efficiency design delivers 10A continuous current. Only n Built-In General Purpose Temperature Monitor bulk input and output capacitors are needed. n Selectable Pulse-Skipping Mode/Burst Mode® Opera- High switching frequency and a current mode architecture tion for High Efficiency at Light Load enable a very fast transient response to line and load n Soft-Start/Voltage Tracking changes without sacrificing stability. The device supports n Protection: Output Overvoltage and Overcurrent frequency synchronization, programmable multiphase Foldback operation, and output voltage tracking for supply rail n 9mm × 15mm × 4.92mm BGA Package sequencing. Fault protection features include output overvoltage and APPLICATIONS overcurrent protection. The LTM4649 is offered in a small n 9mm × 15mm × 4.92mm BGA package available with SnPb Telecom, Networking and Industrial Equipment n or RoHS compliant terminal finish.
