LTM4606 operaTionPower Module Description Input filter and noise cancellation circuits reduce the noise The LTM4606 is a standalone non-isolated switching mode coupling to I/O sides, and ensure the electromagnetic DC/DC power supply. It can deliver up to 6A of DC output interference (EMI) to meet EN55022 Class B limits. current with some external input and output capacitors. Pulling the RUN pin below 1V forces the controller into its This module provides precisely regulated output voltage shutdown state, turning off both M1 and M2. At low load programmable via one external resistor from 0.6VDC to currents, discontinuous mode (DCM) operation can be 5.0VDC over a 4.5V to 28V input voltage range. The typical enabled to achieve higher efficiency compared to continu- application schematic is shown in Figure 20. ous mode (CCM) by setting the FCB pin higher than 0.6V.
