Complete Switch Mode Power Supply
The LTM4611 is a high density 15A output, switch mode
DC/DC buck converter power supply capable of operating
fromverylowvoltageinputsupplies. Includedinthepack-
age are the buck switching controller, power FETs, induc-
tor and loop-compensation components. The LTM4611
delivers up to 15A continuous current at high efficiency
