Complete Switch Mode Power Supply
The LTM®4611 is a high density 15A output, switch mode
DC/DC buck converter power supply capable of operating
fromvery low voltage input supplies. Includedinthe pack-
age are the buck switching controller, power FETs, induc-
tor and loop-compensation components. The LTM4611

Current Mode Control/ Fast ꢁransient Response
Overcurrent Foldback Protection
from an input voltage of 1.5V up to 5.5V . The output
voltage is set between 0.8V and 5V by a resistor. Only a
few input and output capacitors are needed.

Parallel Multiple LꢁM®4611s for Current Sharing
Frequency Synchronization
Highswitchingfrequencyandacurrentmodearchitecture
enable a very fast transient response to line and load
changes without sacrificing stability. The device supports
frequency synchronization, multiphase/current sharing
operation,BurstModeoperationandoutputvoltagetrack-
ing for supply rail sequencing.
Selectable Pulse-Skipping or Burst Mode® Operation
Soft-Start/Voltage Tracking
Up to 94% Efficiency
