LTM4615
Triple Output, Low Voltage
DC/DC µModule Regulator
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
TheLTM®4615isacomplete4Adualoutputswitchingmode
DC/DC power supply plus an additional 1.5A VLDO (very
low dropout) linear regulator. Included in the package 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.
TheLTM4615supportsoutputvoltagesrangingfrom0.8V
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.

APPLICATIONS
Additional features include overvoltage protection,
foldback overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown and
programmable soft-start. The power module is offered in
a space saving and thermally enhanced 15mm × 15mm
× 2.82mm LGA package. The LTM4615 is Pb-free and
RoHS compliant.
