LTM4601HV 12A 28VIN DC/DC µModule Regulator with PLL, Output Tracking and Margining FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Complete Switch Mode Power Supply The LTM®4601HV is a complete 12A step-down switch n Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 28V mode DC/DC power supply with onboard switching control- n 12A DC Typical, 14A Peak Output Current ler, MOSFETs, inductor and all support components. The n 0.6V to 5V Output Voltage µModule regulator is housed in smal surface mount 15mm n Output Voltage Tracking and Margining × 15mm × 2.82mm LGA and 15mm × 15mm × 3.42mm n Parallel Multiple µModule® Regulators for Current BGA packages. Operating over an input voltage range of Sharing 4.5V to 28V, the LTM4601HV supports an output voltage n Differential Remote Sensing for Precision Regulation range of 0.6V to 5V as well as output voltage tracking n PLL Frequency Synchronization and margining. The high efficiency design delivers 12A n ±1.5% Regulation continuous current (14A peak). Only bulk input and output n Current Foldback Protection (Disabled at Start-Up) capacitors are needed to complete the design. n RoHS Compliant with Pb-Free Finish, The low profile and light weight package easily mounts Gold Finish LGA (e4) or SAC 305 BGA (e1) in unused space on the back side of PC boards for high n Ultrafast Transient Response density point of load regulation. The µModule regulator n Current Mode Control can be synchronized with an external clock for reducing n Up to 95% Efficiency at 5VIN, 3.3VOUT undesirable frequency harmonics and allows PolyPhase® n Programmable Soft-Start operation for high load currents. n Output Overvoltage Protection n Small Footprint, Low Profile A high switching frequency and adaptive on-time current (15mm × 15mm × 2.82mm) Surface Mount LGA and mode architecture deliver a very fast transient response (15mm × 15mm × 3.42mm) BGA Packages to line and load changes without sacrificing stability. An onboard differential remote sense amplifier can be used APPLICATIONS to accurately regulate an output voltage independent of load current. n Telecom and Networking Equipment n Servers L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo, µModule and PolyPhase are registered trademarks and LTpowerCAD is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
