LTM4602
OPERATION μModule Description
in an overvoltage condition, internal top FET Q1 is turned off and bottom FET Q2 is turned on and held on until the The LTM4602 is a standalone nonisolated synchronous overvoltage condition clears. switching DC/DC power supply. It can deliver up to 6A of DC output current with only bulk external input and output Pulling the RUN/SS pin low forces the controller into its capacitors. This module provides a precisely regulated shutdown state, turning off both Q1 and Q2. Releasing the output voltage programmable via one external resistor from pin allows an internal 1.2μA current source to charge up 0.6VDC to 5.0VDC, not to exceed 80% of the input voltage. the soft-start capacitor.
