DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4647
is a complete 30A output switching mode
step-down DC/DC µModule
®
(power module) regulator.
Included in the package are the switching controller, power
FETs, inductor and all supporting components. Operating
over an input voltage range of 4.7V to 15V, the LTM4647
supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 1.8V, set by
a single external resistor. Only a few input and output
capacitors are needed.
Its high efficiency design delivers 87% efficiency from 12V
input to 1.0V output with 30A continuous load current.
High switching frequency and a current mode architecture
enable a very fast transient response to line and load
changes without sacrificing stability. The device supports
frequency synchronization, programmable multiphase
operation, N+1 phase redundancy, and output voltage
tracking for supply rail sequencing.
Fault protection features include overvoltage and overcur-
rent protection. The power module is offered in a space
saving 9mm
×
15mm
×
5.01mm BGA package. The
LTM4647 is available with SnPb (BGA) or RoHS compli-
ant 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 LTM4647 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4647E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
over the 0°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. Specifications
over the full –40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls. The LTM4647I 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:
The minimum on-time condition is specified for a peak-to-peak
inductor ripple current of ~40% of I
MAX
Load. (See the Applications
Information section)
Note 4:
See output current derating curves for different V
IN
, V
OUT
and T
A
.
Note 5:
Limit current into the RUN pin to less than 2mA.
Note 6:
Guaranteed by design.
Note 7:
100% tested at wafer level.
