DescripTion
The
LTM
®
8026
is a 36V
IN
, 5A 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 LTM8026 supports
an output voltage range of 1.2V to 24V. CVCC operation
allows the LTM8026 to accurately regulate its output
current up to 5A over the entire output range. The output
current can be set by a control voltage, a single resistor or
a thermistor. Only resistors to set the output voltage and
frequency and the bulk input and output filter capacitors
are needed to finish the design.
The LTM8026 is packaged in a thermally-enhanced,
compact (11.25mm
×
15mm) overmolded land grid ar-
ray (LGA) and ball grid array (BGA) packages suitable for
automated assembly by standard surface mount equip-
ment. The LTM8026 is available in 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 LTM8026E 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 LTM8026I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full –40°C
to 125°C internal operating temperature range. The LTM8026MP 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.
Note 4:
Current flows out of pin.
