DESCRIPTION
The LTM
®
8025 is a 36V
IN
, 3A step down μModule
®
con-
verter. Included in the package are the switching controller,
power switches, inductor and all support components.
Operating over an input voltage range of 3.6V to 36V, the
LTM8025 supports an output voltage range of 0.8V to 24V
and a switching frequency range of 200kHz to 2.4MHz,
each set by a single resistor. Only the bulk input and output
filter capacitors are needed to finish the design.
The low profile package (4.32mm) enables utilization of
unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density
point of load regulation.
The LTM8025 is packaged in a thermally enhanced, compact
(15mm
×
9mm) and low profile (4.32mm) over-molded
land grid array (LGA) package suitable for automated
assembly by standard surface mount equipment. The
LTM8025 is RoHS compliant.

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 LTM8025E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C internal. 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
LTM8025I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full –40°C
to 125°C internal operating temperature range. The LTM8025MP 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.
