DescripTion
The LTM
®
4612 is a EN55022 Class B certified high voltage
input and output, 5A switching mode DC/DC power supply.
Included in the package are the switching controller, power
FETs, inductor and all support components. Operating
over an input voltage range of 5V to 36V, the LTM4612
supports an output voltage range of 3.3V to 15V, set by a
single resistor. Only bulk input and output capacitors are
needed to finish the design.
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.
The onboard input filter and noise cancellation circuits
achieve low noise coupling, thus effectively reducing the
electromagnetic interference (EMI)—see Figures 4 and 8.
Furthermore, the DC/DC µModule
®
regulator can be syn-
chronized with an external clock to reduce undesirable
frequency harmonics and allow PolyPhase
®
operation for
high load currents.
The LTM4612 is offered in a space saving and thermally
enhanced 15mm
×
15mm
×
2.8mm LGA package, which
enables utilization of unused space on the bottom of PC
boards for high density point-of-load regulation. The
LTM4612 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 LTM4612E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
over the 0°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. Specifications
over the –40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range are assured
by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls. The LTM4612I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the
–40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. The LTM4612MP
is guaranteed and tested over the full –55°C to 125°C internal operating
temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
resistance and other environmental factors.
Note 3:
100% tested at die level only.
