LTM4605
High Efficiency
Buck-Boost DC/DC
µModule Regulator
Description
The
LTM
®
4605
is a high efficiency switching mode buck-
boost power supply. Included in the package are the
switching controller, power FETs, and support components.
Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V, the
LTM4605 supports an output voltage range of 0.8V to
16V, set by a resistor. This high efficiency design delivers
up to 5A continuous current in boost mode (12A in buck
mode). Only the inductor, sense resistor, bulk input and
output capacitors are needed to finish the design.
The low profile package enables utilization of unused space
on the bottom of PC boards for high density point of load
regulation. The high switching frequency and current
mode architecture enable a very fast transient response
to line and load changes. The LTM4605 can be frequency
synchronized with an external clock to reduce undesirable
frequency harmonics.
Fault protection features include overvoltage and foldback
current protection. The DC/DC µModule
®
regulator is of-
fered in a small and thermally enhanced 15mm

2.8mm LGA package. The LTM4605 is Pb-free and

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 LTM4605E is guaranteed to meet specifications from the 0°C
to 85°C operating temperature range. Specifications over the –40°C to
85°C operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization
and correlation with statistical process controls. The LTM4605I is
guaranteed over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.
Note 3:
The LTM4605 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
COMP
to a
specified voltage and measures the resultant V
FB
.
Note 4:
Turn-on and turn-off time are measured using 10% and 90%
levels. Transition delay time is measured using 50% levels.
Note 5:
100% tested at wafer level only.
Note 6:
Absolute Maximum Rating of –5V on SW1 and SW2 is under
transient condition only.
