2.82mm LGA package. Operating over an input
voltage range of 4.5V to 20V, the LTM4603 supports an
output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V as well as output volt-
age tracking and margining. The high efficiency design
delivers 6A continuous current (8A peak). Only bulk input
and output capacitors are needed to complete the design.
The low profile (2.82mm) and light weight (1.7g) package
easily mounts on the unused space on the back side of
PC boards for high density point of load regulation. The
µModule regulator can be synchronized with an external
clock for reducing undesirable frequency harmonics and
allows PolyPhase
®
operation for high load currents.
A high switching frequency and adaptive on-time current
mode architecture deliver a very fast transient response
to line and load changes without sacrificing stability. An
onboard remote sense amplifier can be used to accurately
regulate an output voltage independent of load current.
The onboard remote sense amplifier is not available in the
LTM4603-1. The LTM4603/LTM4603-1 are pin compatible
with the 12A LTM4601/LTM4601-1.

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 LTM4603/LTM4603-1 is tested under pulsed load conditions
such that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4603E/LTM4603E-1 are 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
LTM4603I/LTM4603I-1 are guaranteed over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range.
Note 3:
Remote sense amplifier recommended for ≤3.3V output.
Note 4:
100% tested at wafer sort only.
Note 5:
