FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4639 is a complete 20A output high efficiency
switch mode step-down DC/DC µModule (micromodule)
regulator. Included in the package are the switching
controller, power FETs, inductor and compensation
components. Operating over an input voltage range from
2.375V to 7V, the LTM4639 supports an output voltage

up to four LTM4639 regulators to obtain up to 80A output.
Highswitchingfrequencyandacurrentmodearchitecture
enable a very fast transient response to line and load
changes without sacrificing stability. The device supports
frequency synchronization, multiphase/current sharing,
Burst Mode operation and output voltage tracking for
supply rail sequencing. A diode-connected PNP transistor
is included for use as an internal temperature monitor. For
up to 20V input operation, please see the LTM4637.
