LTM8052/LTM8052A
36V
IN
, 5A, 2-Quadrant
CVCC Step-Down
µModule Regulator
DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
8052/LTM8052A
is a 36V
IN
, 5A, 2-quadrant
constant-voltage, constant-current (CVCC) step-down
μModule
®
regulator. Included in the package are the
switching controller, power switches, inductor and support
components. Operating over an input voltage range of 6V to
36V, the LTM8052/LTM8052A supports an output voltage
range of 1.2V to 24V. The LTM8052/LTM8052A is able to
sink or source current to maintain voltage regulation up to
the positive and negative current limits. This output current
limit can be set by a control voltage, a single resistor or a
thermistor. LTM8052 features a 125% output overvoltage
protection, while LTM8052A does not, allowing operation
when the output is above the target regulation point.
The LTM8052/LTM8052A is packaged in a compact
(11.25mm × 15mm × 2.82mm) overmolded land grid ar-
ray (LGA) and ball grid array (BGA) package suitable for
automated assembly by standard surface mount equip-
ment. The LTM8052/LTM8052A are available with SnPb
(BGA) 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:
This µModule regulator includes overtemperature protection that
is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions.
Internal temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection
is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum internal
operating junction temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3:
The LTM8052E/LTM8052AE is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 125°C internal operating temperature.
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 LTM8052I/LTM8052AI is guaranteed
to meet specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C internal operating
temperature range. The LTM8052MP/LTM8052AMP is guaranteed to meet
specifications over the full –55°C to 125°C internal operating temperature
range. Note that the maximum internal temperature is determined by
specific operating conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated
package thermal resistance and other environmental factors.
