Complete Standalone Power Supply
The LTM®4608A is a complete 8A switch mode DC/DC power n ±
1.75% Total DC Output Error (–55°C to 125°C)
supply with ±1.75% total output voltage error. Included n
2.7V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
in the package are the switching controller, power FETs, n
8A DC, 10A Peak Output Current
inductor and all support components. Operating over an n
0.6V Up to 5V Output
input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, the LTM4608A sup- n
Output Voltage Tracking and Margining
ports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V, set by a single n
Power Good Tracks Margining
external resistor. This high efficiency design delivers up n
Multiphase Operation
to 8A continuous current (10A peak). Only bulk input and n
Parallel Current Sharing
output capacitors are needed to complete the design. n
Onboard Frequency Synchronization
The low profile package (2.82mm) enables utilization n
Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation
of unused space on the back side of PC boards for high n
Overcurrent/Thermal Shutdown Protection
density point-of-load regulation. The 0.630mm LGA pads n Current Mode Control/Fast Transient Response with 1.27mm pitch simplify PCB layout by providing stan- n Selectable Burst Mode® Operation dard trace routing and via placement. The high switching n Up to 95% Efficiency frequency and current mode architecture enable a very n Output Overvoltage Protection fast transient response to line and load changes without n 9mm × 15mm × 2.82mm LGA and sacrificing stability. The device supports frequency syn- 9mm × 15mm × 3.42mm BGA Packages chronization, programmable multiphase and/or spread spectrum operation, output voltage tracking for supply
APPLICATIONS
rail sequencing and voltage margining. n Telecom, Networking and Industrial Equipment Fault protection features include overvoltage protec- n Storage Systems tion, overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown.
