supply. Included in the package are the switching control-
ler, power FETs, inductor, and all support components.
Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V, the
LTM4602 supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V,
set by a single resistor. This high efficiency design delivers
6A continuous current (8A peak), needing no heat sinks or
airflow to meet power specifications. Only bulk input and
output capacitors are needed to finish the design.
The low profile package (2.8mm) enables utilization of
unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density
point of load regulation. High switching frequency and an
adaptive on-time current mode architecture enables a very
fast transient response to line and load changes without
sacrificing stability. Fault protection features include
integrated overvoltage and short circuit protection with
a defeatable shutdown timer. A built-in soft-start timer is
adjustable with a small capacitor.
The LTM4602 is packaged in a thermally enhanced, compact
(15mm
×
15mm) and low profile (2.8mm) over-molded
Land Grid Array (LGA) package suitable for automated as-
sembly by standard surface mount equipment. For the 4.5V
to 28V input range version, refer to the LTM4602HV.
