LTM4631 Ultrathin Dual 10A or Single 20A DC/DC µModule Regulator FeaTuresDescripTion n Dual 10A or Single 20A Output The LTM®4631 is a dual 10A or single 20A output switch- n Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 15V ing mode step-down DC/DC µModule® (power module) n Output Voltage Range: 0.6V to 1.8V regulator. Included in the package are the switching con- n ±1.5% Maximum Total DC Output Error Over Line, troller, power FETs, inductors and all supporting compo- Load and Temperature nents. Operating from an input voltage range of 4.5V to n Differential Remote Sense Amplifier 15V, the LTM4631 supports two outputs each with an n Current Mode Control/Fast Transient Response output voltage range of 0.6V to 1.8V, each set by a single n Adjustable Switching Frequency external resistor. Its high efficiency design delivers up to n Overcurrent Foldback Protection 10A continuous current for each output. Only a few input n Multiphase Parallel Current Sharing with Multiple and output capacitors are needed. LTM4631s The device supports frequency synchronization, multi- n Frequency Synchronization phase operation, Burst Mode operation and output voltage n Internal Temperature Monitor tracking for supply rail sequencing and has an onboard n Selectable Burst Mode® Operation temperature diode for device temperature monitoring. n Soft-Start/Voltage Tracking High switching frequency and a current mode architec- n Output Overvoltage Protection ture enable a very fast transient response to line and load n Ultrathin 16mm × 16mm × 1.91mm LGA and changes without sacrificing stability. 16mm × 16mm × 2.51mm BGA Packages Fault protection features include overvoltage and overcurrent protection. The LTM4631 is offered in an applicaTions ultrathin 16mm × 16mm × 1.91mm LGA and 16mm × n Telecom and Networking Equipment 16mm × 2.51mm BGA packages.
