FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4609 is a high efficiency switching mode buck-
boost power supply. Included in the package are the
switchingcontroller,powerFETsandsupportcomponents.
Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 36V, the
LTM4609 supports an output voltage range of 0.8V to
34V, set by a resistor. This high efficiency design delivers
up to 4A continuous current in boost mode (10A in buck
mode). Only the inductor, sense resistor, bulk input and
output capacitors are needed to finish the design.

on the bottom of PC boards for high density point of load
regulation. The high switching frequency and current
mode architecture enable a very fast transient response
to line and load changes without sacrificing stability. The
LTM4609 can be frequency synchronized with an external
clock to reduce undesirable frequency harmonics.
