LTM4608A
Low V
IN
, 8A DC/DC µModule
Regulator with Tracking, Margining,
and Frequency Synchronization
DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4608A
is a complete 8A switch mode DC/DC power
supply with ±1.75% total output voltage error. Included
in the package are the switching controller, power FETs,
inductor and all support components. Operating over an
input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, the LTM4608A sup-
ports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V, set by a single
external resistor. This high efficiency design delivers up
to 8A continuous current (10A peak). Only bulk input and
output capacitors are needed to complete the design.
The low profile package (2.82mm) enables utilization
of unused space on the back side of PC boards for high
density point-of-load regulation. The 0.630mm LGA pads
with 1.27mm pitch simplify PCB layout by providing stan-
dard trace routing and via placement. The high switching
frequency and current mode architecture enable a very
fast transient response to line and load changes without
sacrificing stability. The device supports frequency syn-
chronization, programmable multiphase and/or spread
spectrum operation, output voltage tracking for supply
rail sequencing and voltage margining.
Fault protection features include overvoltage protec-
tion, overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown. The
LTM4608A is offered in 9mm × 15mm × 2.82mm LGA and
9mm × 15mm × 3.42mm BGA packages. The LTM4608A is
available with SnPb (BGA) or RoHS compliant terminal finish.

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 LTM4608A is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4608AE 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 LTM4608AI is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C internal operating
temperature range and the LTM4608AMP is tested and guaranteed over
the full –55°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.
