LTM4646
Dual 10A or
Single 20A µModule Regulator
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
®
The LTM 4646 is a complete dual 10A output switching
n
Dual 10A or Single 20A Output
n
Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.5V to 20V
mode DC/DC power supply. Included in the package are
the switching controller, power FETs, inductors, and all
supporting components. Operating from an input voltage
range of 4.5V to 20V, the LTM4646 supports two outputs
each with an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5.5V, set by
external resistors. Its high efficiency design delivers up to
10A continuous current for each output. Only a few input
and output capacitors are needed.

Multiphase Current Sharing
Differential Remote Sense Amplifier, Each Channel
Current Mode Control/Fast Transient Response
Up to 96% Efficiency
Adjustable Switching Frequency (250kHz to 1.3MHz)
Frequency Synchronization
The device supports frequency synchronization, multiphase
operation, high efficiency light load operation and output
voltage tracking for supply rail sequencing and has an
onboard temperature diode per channel for device tempera-
ture monitoring. High switching frequency and a current
mode architecture enable a very fast transient response to
line and load changes without sacrificing stability.
Overcurrent Foldback Protection
Output Overvoltage Protection
Internal or External Compensation
Built-In Temperature Monitoring Diode
SnPb or RoHS Compliant Finish
11.25mm × 15mm × 5.01mm BGA Package
Fault protection features include overvoltage and overcur-
rent protection. The power module is offered in a small
footprint 11.25mm × 15mm × 5.01mm BGA package.
The LTM4646 is available with SnPb or RoHS compliant
terminal finish.
