LTM4644/LTM4644-1
Quad DC/DC µModule
Regulator with Configurable 4A Output Array
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
Quad Output Step-Down µModule® Regulator with 4A
per Output
The LTM®4644/LTM4644-1 is a quad DC/DC step-down
µModule (micromodule) regulator with 4A per output.
Outputs can be paralleled in an array for up to 16A capabil-
ity. Included in the package are the switching controllers,
powerFETs,inductorsandsupportcomponents.Operating
over an input voltage range of 4V to 14V or 2.375V to 14V
with an external bias supply, the LTM4644/LTM4644-1
supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5.5V. Its
high efficiency design delivers 4A continuous (5A peak)
output current per channel. Only bulk input and output
capacitors are needed.
