DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LTM®4601HV is a complete 12A step-down switch
mode DC/DC power supply with onboard switching con-
troller, 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 28V, the LTM4601HV supports an

12A continuous current (14A 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 in 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.

Programmable Soft-Start
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
onboard differential remote sense amplifier can be used
to accurately regulate an output voltage independent of
load current.
