DescripTion
The
LTM
®
4606
is a complete EN55022 Class B certified
noise high voltage 6A switching mode DC/DC power supply.
Included in the package are the switching controller, power
FETs, inductor, and all support components. The on-board
input filter and noise cancellation circuits achieve low noise
operation, thus effectively reducing the electromagnetic
interference (EMI). Operating over an input voltage range
of 4.5V to 28V, the LTM4606 supports an output voltage
range of 0.6V to 5V, set by a single resistor. This high ef-
ficiency design delivers 6A continuous current (8A peak).
Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to finish
the design.
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. The
device supports output voltage tracking and output volt-
age margining.
Furthermore, the µModule
®
regulator can be synchronized
with an external clock for reducing undesirable frequency
harmonics and allows PolyPhase
®
operation for high load
currents.
The LTM4606 is offered in space saving 15mm

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 LTM4606E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
over the 0°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. Specifications
over the –40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range are assured
by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls. The LTM4606I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the
–40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. The LTM4606MP
is guaranteed and tested over the –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
resistance and other environmental factors.
