The LTM4603EV is a complete 6A step-down switch mode DC/DCpower supply with on-board switching controller, MOSFETs, inductor and all support components. The µModule is housed in a small surface mount 15mm × 15mm × 2.8mm LGA package. Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5 to 20V, the LTM4603EV supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V as well as output voltage tracking and margining. The high efficiency design delivers 6A continuous current (8A peak). Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to complete the design.
The low profile (2.8mm) and light weight (1.7g) package easily mounts on the unused space on the back side of PC boards for high density point of load regulation. The µModule can be synchronized with an external clock for reducing undesirable frequency harmonics and allows PolyPhase® operation for high load currents.
A high switching frequency and adaptive on-time current mode architecture deliver a very fast transient response to line and load changes without sacrificing stability. An on-board remote sense amplifier can be used to accurately regulate an output voltage independent of load current. The on-board remote sense amplifier is not available in the LTM4603-1. The LTM4603/LTM4603-1 are pin compatible with the 12A LTM4601/LTM4601-1.
