LTM4620A
Dual 13A or Single 26A
DC/DC µModule Regulator
DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4620A
is a complete dual 13A, or single 26A out-
put switching mode DC/DC power supply with wider V
OUT
range and higher efficiency than the LTM4620. 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 LTM4620A
supports two outputs each with an output voltage range
of 0.6V to 5.3V, 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, mul-
tiphase operation, Burst Mode
®
operation and output
voltage tracking for supply rail sequencing and has an
onboard temperature diode for device temperature mon-
itoring. 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 over-
current protection. The power module is offered in
a proprietary 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 LTM4620A is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4620AE 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
LTM4620AI is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C internal operating
temperature range. The LTM4620AMP is tested and guaranteed over
the –55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. For output current
derating at high temperature, please refer to thermal conditions and output
current derating discussion. 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:
The LTM4620A 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 5V output
current needs to be limited to 12A/channel, switching frequency = 750kHz.
Derating curves apply. For 7V ≤ V
IN
≤ 9V, the 5V output current needs
to be limited to 13A/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.
Derating curves apply.
