switch mode DC/DC power regulator system in a 15mm
×
15mm surface mount LGA package. Included in the package
are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor and all
support components. Operating from an input voltage
range of 2.7V to 5.5V, the LTM4616 supports two outputs
within a voltage range of 0.6V to 5V, each set by a single
external resistor. This high efficiency design delivers up
to 8A continuous current (10A peak) for each output. Only
bulk input and output capacitors are needed, depending
on ripple requirement. The part can also be configured for
a 2-phase single output at up to 16A.
The low profile package (2.82mm) enables utilization
of unused space on the back side of PC boards for high
density point-of-load regulation.
Fault protection features include overvoltage protection,
overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown. The power
module is offered in a space saving and thermally enhanced

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 LTM4616E 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 LTM4616I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full
internal operating temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient
temperature is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction
with board layout, the rated package thermal resistance and other
environmental factors.
Note 3:
Two channels are tested separately and the same testing
conditions are applied to each channel.
Note 4:
