LTM4650A-1
Dual 25A or Single 50A
DC/DC µModule Regulator
with 1% DC Accuracy
DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4650A-1
is a dual 25A or single 50A output
switching mode step-down DC/DC µModule
®
(micromod-
ule) regulator with ±1% total DC output error. Included in
the package are the switching controllers, power FETs,
inductors and all supporting components. Operating from
an input voltage range of 4.5V to 16V, the LTM4650A-1
supports two outputs with an output voltage range of 0.6V
to 5.5V, each set by a single external resistor. Its high ef-
ficiency design delivers up to 25A continuous current for
each output. Only a few input and output capacitors are
needed. Adjustable control loop compensation allows for
fast transient response to minimize output capacitance
when powering FPGAs, ASICs, and processors.
Fault protection features include overvoltage and overcur-
rent protection. The LTM4650A-1 is offered in 16mm ×
16mm × 5.01mm 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 LTM4650A-1 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4650AE-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
LTM4650AI-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 250kHz to 780kHz.
Note 5:
These parameters are tested at wafer sort.
Note 6:
See output current derating curve for different ambient
temperature.
Note 7:
Total DC output voltage error includes all errors over
temperature – reference, line and load regulation as well as the tolerance
of the integrated top feedback resistor.
