LTM4650A-1
Dual 25A or Single 50A
DC/DC µModule Regulator
with 1% DC Accuracy
DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4650A-1 is a dual 25A or single 50A output
switchingmodestep-downDC/DCµModule® (micromod-
ule) regulator with 1% total DC output error. Included in
the package are the switching controllers, power FETs,
inductors and all supporting components. Operating from
an input voltage range of 4.5V to 16V, the LTM4650A-1
supports two outputs with an output voltage range of 0.6V
to 5.5V, each set by a single external resistor. Its high ef-
ficiency design delivers up to 25A continuous current for
each output. Only a few input and output capacitors are
needed. Adjustable control loop compensation allows for
fast transient response to minimize output capacitance
when powering FPGAs, ASICs, and processors.
