are the switching controllers, power FETs, inductors and
all support components. The dual 4A DC/DC converters
operate over an input voltage range of 2.375V to 5.5V.
The LTM4614 supports output voltages ranging from
0.8V to 5V. The regulator output voltages are set by a
single resistor for each output. Only bulk input and output
capacitors are needed to complete the design.
The low profile package (2.82mm) enables utilization of
unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density
point of load regulation.
Additional features include overvoltage protection, foldback
overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown and programmable
soft-start. The power module is offered in a space saving and
thermally enhanced 15mm

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 LTM4614 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4614E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
over the 0°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. Specifications
over the –40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range are assured
by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls. The LTM4614I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full
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:
The IC has overtemperature protection that is intended to protect
the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperatures
will exceed 125°C when overtemperature is activated. Continuous
overtemperature activation can impair long-term reliability.
Note 4:
See output current derating curves for different V
IN
, V
OUT
and T
A
.
Note 5:
Two channels are tested separately and the specified test
conditions are applied to each channel.
