LTM4643
Ultrathin Quad µModule
Regulator with Configurable
3A Output Array
DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4643
is a quad DC/DC step-down µModule
(power module) regulator with 3A per output. Outputs can
be paralleled in an array for up to 12A capability. Included
in the package are the switching controllers, power FETs,
inductors and support components. Operating over an
input voltage range of 4V to 20V or 2.375V to 20V with
an external bias supply, the LTM4643 supports an output
voltage range of 0.6V to 3.3V each set by a single external
resistor. Its high efficiency design delivers 3A continuous
output current per channel. Only bulk input and output
capacitors are needed.
Fault protection features include overvoltage, overcurrent
and overtemperature protection. The LTM4643 is offered
in a 9mm ×15mm × 1.82mm LGA and 9mm × 15mm ×
2.42mm BGA packages with SnPb (BGA) or RoHS compli-
ant terminal finish.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 LTM4643 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4643E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
over the 0°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. Specifications
over the full –40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range are
assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process
controls. The LTM4643I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full
–40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. The LTM4643MP
is guaranteed to meet specifications 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 wafer level.
Note 4:
See output current derating curves for different V
IN
, V
OUT
and T
A
.
Note 5:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
