FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4616 is a complete dual 2-phase 8A per channel
switch mode DC/DC power regulator system in a 15mm ×
15mmsurfacemountLGApackage.Includedinthepackage
are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor and all
support components. Operating from an input voltage
range of 2.7V to 5.5V, the LTM4616 supports two outputs
within a voltage range of 0.6V to 5V, each set by a single
external resistor. This high efficiency design delivers up
to 8A continuous current (10A peak) for each output. Only
bulk input and output capacitors are needed, depending
on ripple requirement. The part can also be configured for
a 2-phase single output at up to 16A.
