LTM8029
36V
IN
, 600mA Step-Down
µModule Converter with
5µA Quiescent Current
DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
8029
is a 36V
IN
, 600mA step-down µModule
®
converter with 5µA quiescent current. It is an adjustable
frequency buck switching regulator that consumes only
5μA of quiescent current. The LTM8029 can accept an
input as high as 36V
IN
and operates at low input voltages
due to its off-time skipping capability. Burst Mode opera-
tion maintains high efficiency at low output currents while
keeping the output ripple low. The RUN pin features an
accurate threshold and the shutdown current is 0.9μA.
A power good flag signals when V
OUT
reaches 90% of the
programmed output voltage.
The LTM8029 is packaged in a thermally enhanced, com-
pact (11.25mm
×
6.25mm) and low profile (3.42mm)
overmolded ball grid array (BGA) package. The LTM8029
is available with SnPb (BGA) or RoHS compliant terminal
finish.

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 LTM8029E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C internal. 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 LTM8029I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full –40°C
to 125°C internal operating temperature range. The LTM8029MP is
guaranteed to meet specifications over the full –55°C to 125°C internal
operating temperature range. Note that the maximum internal temperature
is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board
layout, the rated package thermal resistance and other environmental
factors.
