LTM4691 Low VIN, High Efficiency, Dual 2A Step-Down DC/DC µModule Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Tiny Surface Mount, Low Profile 3mm × 4mm × The LTM®4691 is a complete dual 2A output switch- 1.18mm LGA Package ing mode DC/DC power supply in a tiny 3mm × 4mm n Input Voltage Range: 2.25V to 3.6V × 1.18mm LGA package. Included in the package are n Dual 2A DC Output Current the switching control er, power FETs, inductors and al n ±1.5% Total Output Voltage Regulation supporting components. Operating over an input voltage n Current Mode Control, Fast Transient Response range of 2.25V to 3.6V, the LTM4691 supports two out- n External Frequency Synchronization puts with programmable output voltage range from 0.5V n 180° Out-of-Phase Operation to 2.5V set by external resistors. Its high efficiency design n Selectable Pulse-Skipping Mode/Burst Mode® delivers up to 2A continuous current on each output. Only Operation/Forced Continuous Mode bulk input and output capacitors are needed. n Power Good Indicator The LTM4691 operates in forced continuous mode for low n Internal Soft-Start noise pulse-skipping mode or Burst Mode operation for n Internal Compensation high efficiency at lights loads. The typical buck switching n Overvoltage, Overcurrent and Overtemperature frequency is 2MHz and can be synchronized from 1MHz to Protection 3MHz. Its high switching frequency and a current mode architecture enables a very fast transient response to line APPLICATIONS and load changes without sacrificing stability. n Other features include precision run thresholds, a PGOOD Telecom, Networking and Industrial Equipment n signal, output overvoltage protection, thermal shutdown Point-of-Load Regulation n and output short-circuit protection. The LTM4691 is FPGA, ASIC Core Supplies Pb-free and RoHS compliant. All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
