DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4625
is a complete 5A step-down switching
mode µModule (micromodule) regulator in a tiny 6.25mm
× 6.25mm × 5.01mm BGA package. Included in the pack-
age are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor and
support components. Operating over an input voltage range
of 4V to 20V or 2.375V to 20V with an external bias supply,
the LTM4625 supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to
5.5V, set by a single external resistor. Its high efficiency
design delivers up to 5A continuous output current. Only
bulk input and output capacitors are needed.
The LTM4625 supports selectable discontinuous mode
operation and output voltage tracking for supply rail se-
quencing. Its high switching frequency and current mode
control enable a very fast transient response to line and
load changes without sacrificing stability.
Fault protection features include overvoltage, overcurrent
and overtemperature protection.
The LTM4625 is available with SnPb 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 LTM4625 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4625E 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 LTM4625I is guaranteed to meet specifications 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 resistance and other environmental
factors.
Note 3:
See output current derating curves for different V
IN
, V
OUT
and T
A
.
Note 4:
100% tested at wafer level.
Note 5:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
