DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4661
is a synchronous step-up switching
mode µModule
®
(power module) regulator in a 6.25mm
× 6.25mm × 2.42mm BGA package. Included in the pack-
age are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor and
all support components. Operating over an input voltage
of 1.8V to 5.5V, down to 0.7V after start-up, the LTM4661
regulates an output voltage of 2.5V to 15V set by an exter-
nal resistor. It provides up to 4A switch current. Only bulk
input and output capacitors are needed.
The LTM4661 1MHz switching frequency and dual phase
single output architecture enable fast transient response
to line and load changes and a significant reduction of
output ripple voltage. It supports frequency synchroni-
zation, PolyPhase
®
operation and selectable Burst Mode
operation.
The LTM4661 features a true output disconnect during
shutdown and inrush current limit at start-up. It also has
short-circuit, overvoltage and overtemperature protection.
The LTM4661 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.

LTM4661
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 LTM4661 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4661E 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 LTM4661I 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:
The LTM4661 includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 170°C when overtemperature shutdown is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operation junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
