FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4612 is a complete, ultralow noise, high voltage
inputandoutput,5AswitchingmodeDC/DCpowersupply.
Includedinthepackagearetheswitchingcontroller,power
FETs, inductor and all support components. Operating
over an input voltage range of 5V to 36V, the LTM4612
supports an output voltage range of 3.3V to 15V, set by a
single resistor. Only bulk input and output capacitors are
needed to finish the design.

1.5% Set Point Accuracy
High switching frequency and an adaptive on-time current
mode architecture enables a very fast transient response
to line and load changes without sacrificing stability.

Current Foldback Protection (Disabled at Start-Up)
n
Parallel/Current Sharing
n
The onboard input filter and noise cancellation circuits
achieve low noise coupling, thus effectively reducing the
electromagnetic interference (EMI)—see Figures 4 and 8.
Furthermore, the DC/DC μModuleTM can be synchronized
with an external clock for reducing undesirable frequency
harmonics and allows PolyPhase® operation for high load
currents.

Small Surface Mount Footprint, Low Profile
(15mm × 15mm × 2.8mm) LGA Package
The LTM4612 is offered in a space saving and thermally
enhanced 15mm × 15mm × 2.8mm LGA package, which
enables utilization of unused space on the bottom of PC
boards for high density point-of-load regulation. The
LTM4612 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
