DESCRIPTION
The LTM
®
4600 is a complete 10A, DC/DC step down power
supply. Included in the package are the switching control-
ler, power FETs, inductor, and all support components.
Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V, the
LTM4600 supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V,
set by a single resistor. This high efficiency design delivers
10A continuous current (14A peak), needing no heat sinks
or airflow to meet power specifications. Only bulk input
and output capacitors are needed to finish the design.
The low profile package (2.8mm) enables utilization of
unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high density
point of load regulation. High switching frequency and an
adaptive on-time current mode architecture enables a very
fast transient response to line and load changes without
sacrificing stability. Fault protection features include
integrated overvoltage and short circuit protection with
a defeatable shutdown timer. A built-in soft-start timer is
adjustable with a small capacitor.
The LTM4600 is packaged in a thermally enhanced, compact
(15mm
×
15mm) and low profile (2.8mm) over-molded
Land Grid Array (LGA) package suitable for automated
assembly by standard surface mount equipment. The
LTM4600 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTM4600E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LTM4600I is guaranteed over the
–40°C to 85°C temperature range.
Note 3:
Test assumes current derating versus temperature.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by correlation.
