LTM4611 Ultralow VIN, 15A DC/DC µModule Regulator FeaTuresDescripTion n Complete Switch Mode Power Supply The LTM®4611 is a high density 15A output, switch mode n Input Voltage Range: 1.5V to 5.5V DC/DC buck converter power supply capable of operating n 15A DC Output from very low voltage input supplies. Included in the pack- n Output Voltage Range: 0.8V to 5V age are the buck switching control er, power FETs, induc- n ±1.5% Total DC Output Error tor and loop-compensation components. The LTM4611 n Differential Remote Sensing for Precision Regulation delivers up to 15A continuous current at high efficiency n Current Mode Control/ Fast Transient Response from an input voltage of 1.5VIN up to 5.5VIN. The output n Overcurrent Foldback Protection voltage is set between 0.8V and 5V by a resistor. Only a n Parallel Multiple LTM ® 4611s for Current Sharing few input and output capacitors are needed. n Frequency Synchronization High switching frequency and a current mode architecture n Selectable Pulse-Skipping or Burst Mode® Operation enable a very fast transient response to line and load n Soft-Start/Voltage Tracking changes without sacrificing stability. The device supports n Up to 94% Efficiency frequency synchronization, multiphase/current sharing n Output Overvoltage Protection operation, Burst Mode operation and output voltage track- n Small 15mm × 15mm × 4.32mm LGA Package ing for supply rail sequencing. The LTM4611 is available in a thermal y enhanced 15mm applicaTions × 15mm × 4.32mm LGA package. The LTM4611 is PB-free n Telecom Servers and Networking Equipment and RoHS compliant. n Storage and ATCA Cards L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo, Burst Mode, PolyPhase and µModule are n General Purpose Point of Load Regulation registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
