OPERATION
The LTM4632 is a dual output standalone non-isolated With current mode control and internal feedback loop switch mode DC/DC power supply for DDR-QDR4 SRAM compensation, the LTM4632 module has sufficient sta- memory supplies and bus termination.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The typical LTM4632 application circuit is shown in where tOFF(MIN) is the minimum off-time, 45ns typical for Figure 19.

Conversely mined by the input voltage, the output voltage and the the minimum on-time limit imposes a minimum duty maximum load current.

where tON(MIN) is the minimum on-time, 20ns typical for There are restrictions in the maximum V LTM4632. In the rare cases where the minimum duty IN and VOUT step down ratio that can be achieved for a given input voltage cycle is surpassed, the output voltage will still remain due to the minimum off-time and minimum on-time limits in regulation, but the switching frequency will decrease of the regulator. The minimum off-time limit imposes a from its programmed value. Note that additional thermal maximum duty cycle which can be calculated as: derating may be applied.
