LTM4650A
Dual 25A or Single 50A
DC/DC µModule Regulator
with 1% DC Accuracy
DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4650A
is a dual 25A or single 50A output switching
mode step-down DC/DC µModule
®
(micromodule) regula-
tor with ±1% total DC output error. Included in the package
are the switching controllers, power FETs, inductors and
all supporting components. Operating from an input volt-
age range of 4.5V to 16V, the LTM4650A supports two
outputs with an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5.5V, each
set by a single external resistor. Its high efficiency design
delivers up to 25A continuous current for each output.
Fast internal control loop compensation allows for fast
transient response to minimize output capacitance when
powering FPGAs, ASICs, and processors.
Fault protection features include overvoltage and over-
current protection. The LTM4650A is offered in 16mm
× 16mm × 4.41mm LGA and16mm × 16mm × 5.01mm
BGA packages.

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 LTM4650A is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4650AE is guaranteed to meet specifications from
0°C to 125°C internal temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C internal operating temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTM4650AI is guaranteed over the full –40°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
impedance and other environmental factors.
Note 3:
Two outputs are tested separately and the same testing condition
is applied to each output.
Note 4:
The switching frequency is programmable from 250kHz to 780kHz.
Note 5:
LTM4650A device is designed to operate from 250kHz to 780kHz
Note 6:
These parameters are tested at wafer sort.
Note 7:
See output current derating curve for different ambient
temperature.
Note 8:
Total DC output voltage error includes all errors over
temperature – reference, line and load regulation as well as the tolerance
of the integrated top feedback resistor.
