15V, 4A Step-Up
µModule Regulator
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
2
The LTM®4661 is a synchronous step-up switching mode
µModule® (powermodule)regulatorina6.25mm×6.25mm
× 2.42mm BGA package. Included in the package are the
switching controller, power FETs, inductor and all support
components. Operating over an input voltage of 1.8V to
5.5V, down to 0.7V after start-up, the LTM4661 regulates
anoutputvoltageof2.5Vto15Vsetbyanexternalresistor.
It provides up to 4A switch current. Only bulk input and
output capacitors are needed.
