LTM4660
60V, 300W Hybrid Step-Down
µModule Bus Converter
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4660 is a complete 300W output switching
mode hybrid-topology step-down DC/DC µModule®
(micromodule) nonisolated bus converter. Its exposed
power inductor resides on the top of the package, pro-
viding an intrinsic path for heat to dissipate up and out
of the module—away from one’s printed circuit board.
Included in the package are the switching controller IC,
power MOSFETs and supporting components. Only flying
(charge-pump) capacitors, bulk input and output bypass
capacitors, and a few configuration passives are needed.

Onboard Diode Temperature Monitor
Optional External Reference Input
The LTM4660 features frequency synchronization,
Burst Mode® operation and output voltage soft-start and
tracking. An onboard temperature diode is available for
temperature monitoring. The LTM4660 protects against
short-circuit, overcurrent, and overtemperature faults. For
higher power applications, multiple LTM4660 modules
can be easily paralleled.
