LTM4604
Low Voltage, 4A DC/DC
µModuleTM with Tracking
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
TheLTM®4604isacomplete4AswitchmodeDC/DCpower
supply. Included in the package are the switching control-
ler, power FETs, inductor and all support components.
Operating over an input voltage range of 2.375V to 5.5V,
the LTM4604 supports an output voltage range of 0.8V
to 5V, set by a single resistor. This high efficiency design
delivers up to 4A continuous current (5A peak). Only bulk
output capacitors are needed to complete the design.

The low profile package (2.3mm) enables utilization of
unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density
point of load regulation. High switching frequency and
a current mode architecture enable a very fast transient
response to line and load changes without sacrificing
stability. The device supports output voltage tracking for
supply rail sequencing.
