LTM4618 6A DC/DC µModule Regulator with Tracking and Frequency Synchronization FeaTuresDescripTion n Complete Standalone Power Supply The LTM®4618 is a complete 6A output switch mode n Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 26.5V DC/DC power supply. Included in the package are the n 6A DC Typical, 8A Peak Output Current switching controller, power FETs, inductor and all support n 0.8V to 5V Output components. Operating over an input voltage range of n Output Voltage Tracking 4.5V to 26.5V, the LTM4618 supports an output voltage n ±1.75% Maximum Total DC Error range of 0.8V to 5V set by a single external resistor. Its n Current Mode Control/Fast Transient Response high efficiency design delivers 6A continuous current (8A n Phase-Lockable Fixed Frequency 250kHz to 780kHz peak). Only a few input and output capacitors are needed. n On-Board Frequency Synchronization High switching frequency and a current mode architecture n Selectable Burst Mode ® Operation enable a very fast transient response to line and load n Power Good Voltage Indicator changes without sacrificing stability. The device supports n Output Overvoltage Protection frequency synchronization and output voltage tracking for n Output Current Foldback Limiting supply rail sequencing. Burst Mode operation or pulse- n 9mm × 15mm × 4.32mm LGA and skipping mode can be selected for light load conditions. 9mm × 15mm × 4.92mm BGA Packages Fault protection features include overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection and foldback current limit for applicaTions short-circuit protection. n Telecom and Networking Equipment The LTM4618 is offered in 9mm × 15mm × 4.32mm LGA n Servers and 9mm × 15mm × 4.92mm BGA packages with RoHS n Storage Cards compliant terminal finish. n ATCA Cards L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo, Burst Mode and µModule are registered n Industrial Equipment trademarks and LTpowerCAD is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
