Complete Solution in <1cm (Single-Sided PCB) or
The LTM®4657 is a complete 8A step-down switching
mode µModule (micromodule) regulator in a tiny 6.25mm
× 6.25mm × 3.87mm BGA package. Included in the pack-
age are the switching controller, power FETs, inductor and
support components. Operating over an input voltage
range of 3.1V to 20V, the LTM4657 supports an output
voltage range of 0.5V to 5.5V, set by a single external
resistor. Its high efficiency design delivers up to 8A con-
tinuous output current. Only bulk input and output capac-
itors are needed.

The LTM4657 supports selectable discontinuous mode
operation and output voltage tracking for supply rail
sequencing. Its high switching frequency and current
mode control enable a very fast transient response to
line and load changes without sacrificing stability.
