Dual 4A Output Power Supply with 1.5A VLDO™
The LTM®4615 is a complete 4A dual output switching
mode DC/DC power supply plus an additional 1.5A VLDO
(very low dropout) linear regulator. Included in the pack-
age are the switching controllers, power FETs, inductors,
a 1.5A regulator and all support components. The dual 4A
DC/DC converters operate over an input voltage range of
2.375V to 5.5V, and the VLDO operates from a 1.14V to
3.5V input. The LTM4615 supports output voltages rang-
ing from 0.8V to 5V for the DC/DC converters, and 0.4V
to 2.6V for the VLDO. The three regulator output voltages
are set by a single resistor for each output. Only bulk input
and output capacitors are needed to complete the design.

The low profile package (2.82mm) 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 enables a very fast transient
response to line and load changes without sacrificing
stability. The device supports output voltage tracking for
supply rail sequencing.
