mode DC/DC power supply. Included in the package are
the switching controller, power FETs, inductors, and all
supporting components. Operating from an input voltage
range of 4.5V to 16V, the LTM4620 supports two outputs
each with an output voltage range of 0.6V to 2.5V, set by a
single external resistor. Its high efficiency design delivers
up to 13A continuous current for each output. Only a few
input and output capacitors are needed.
The device supports frequency synchronization, multi-
phase operation, Burst Mode operation and output voltage
tracking for supply rail sequencing and has an onboard
temperature diode for device temperature monitoring. High
switching frequency and a current mode architecture enable
a very fast transient response to line and load changes
without sacrificing stability.
Fault protection features include overvoltage and overcur-
rent protection. The power module is offered in a proprietary
space saving and thermally enhanced 15mm
×
15mm
×
4.41mm LGA package with integrated top-side heat sink.
The LTM4620 is RoHS compliant with a PB-free 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:
The LTM4620 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4620E is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 125°C internal temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C internal operating temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTM4620I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C 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
impedance and other environmental factors.
Note 3:
Two outputs are tested separately and the same testing condition
is applied to each output.
Note 4:
The switching frequency is programmable from 400kHz to 750kHz.
Note 5:
LTM4620 device is designed to operate from 400kHz to 750kHz
Note 6:
These parameters are tested at wafer sort.
Note 7:
See output current derating curves for different V
IN
, V
OUT
and T
A
.
Note 8:
Output current limitations. For 10V ≤ V
IN
≤ 16V, the 2.5V output
current needs to be limited to 10A/channel, switching frequency = 750kHz.
Derating curves apply. For 5V ≤ V
IN
≤ 9V, the 2.5V output current needs
to be limited to 12A/channel, switching frequency = 750kHz. Derating
curves apply. All other input and output combinations are 13A/channel
with recommended switching frequency included in the efficiency graphs.
