DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4628
is a complete dual 8A output switching
mode DC/DC power supply and can be easily configured
to provide a single 2-phase 16A output. Included in the
package are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor,
and all supporting components. Operating from an input
voltage range of 4.5V to 26.5V, the LTM4628 supports
two outputs each with an output voltage range of 0.6V to
5.5V, set by a single external resistor. Its high efficiency
design delivers 8A continuous current for each output.
Only a few input and output capacitors are needed.
The device supports frequency synchronization, multi-
phase operation, Burst Mode operation and output voltage
tracking for supply rail sequencing. It has an onboard
temperature diode for device temperature monitoring.
High switching frequency and a current mode architec-
ture enable a very fast transient response to line and load
changes without sacrificing stability.
Fault protection features include overvoltage and over-
current protection. The power module is offered in space
saving and thermally enhanced 15mm × 15mm × 4.32mm
LGA and 15mm × 15mm × 4.92mm BGA packages. The
LTM4628 is available with SnPb (BGA) or RoHS compli-
ant terminal finish.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 LTM4628 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4628E 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
LTM4628I 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 for 400kHz to 750kHz.
Note 5:
LTM4628 device is designed to operate from 400kHz to 750kHz
Note 6:
100% tested at wafer level.
Note 7:
