package. Included in the package are the switching con-
troller, power FETs, inductor and all support components.
Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 26.5V,
the LTM4618 supports an output voltage range of 0.8V
to 5V set by a single external resistor. Its high efficiency
design delivers 6A continuous current (8A peak). Only a
few input and output capacitors are needed.
High switching frequency and a current mode architecture
enable a very fast transient response to line and load
changes without sacrificing stability. The device supports
frequency synchronization and output voltage tracking for
supply rail sequencing. Burst Mode operation or pulse-
skipping mode can be selected for light load operations.
Fault protection features include overvoltage protection,
overcurrent protection and foldback current limit for
short-circuit protection.
The LTM4618 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.

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 LTM4618 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that
T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTM4618E 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 LTM4618I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full
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.
