DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4630-1A/LTM4630-1B
are dual 18A or single 36A
output step-down µModule
®
(micromodule) regulators with
±0.8% (LTM4630-1A) and ±1.5% (LTM4630-1B) total DC
output error, respectively, with ±3% transient output error.
Included in the package are the switching controller, power
FETs, inductors, and all supporting components. External com-
pensation allows for fast transient response to minimize output
capacitance when powering FPGAs, ASICs, and processors.
With synchronized multiphase parallel current sharing, four
LTM4630-1 devices can deliver up to 144A. The LTM4630-1
is offered in a 16mm
×
16mm
×
5.01 BGA package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTM4630-1 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4630E-1 is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 125°C internal temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C internal operating temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTM4630I-1 is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C internal operating
temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors.
Note 3:
Two outputs are tested separately and the same testing condition
is applied to each output.
Note 4:
The switching frequency is programmable from 400kHz to 750kHz.
Note 5:
LTM4630-1 device is designed to operate from 400kHz to 750kHz
Note 6:
These parameters are tested at wafer sort.
