LTM4641
38V, 10A DC/DC µModule
Regulator with Advanced
Input and Load Protection
DescripTion
The
LTM
®
4641
is a switch mode step-down DC/DC
µModule
®
(micromodule) regulator with advanced input
and load protection features. Trip detection thresholds for
the following faults are customizable: input undervoltage,
overtemperature, input overvoltage and output overvolt-
age. Select fault conditions can be set for latchoff or
hysteretic restart response—or disabled. Included in the
package are the switching controller and housekeeping ICs,
power MOSFETs, inductor, overvoltage drivers, biasing
circuitry and supporting components. Operating from input
voltages of 4V to 38V (4.5V start-up), the device supports
output voltages from 0.6V to 6V, set by an external resis-
tor network remote sensing the point-of-load’s voltage.
The LTM4641’s high efficiency design can deliver up to
10A continuous current with a few input and output ca-
pacitors. The regulator’s constant on-time current mode
control architecture enables high step-down ratios and
fast response to transient line and load changes. The
LTM4641 is offered in a 15mm
×
15mm
×
5.01mm with
SnPb or RoHS compliant terminal finish.
