DESCRIPTION
The LTM
®
8027 is a complete 4A, DC/DC step-down power
supply. Included in the package are the switching control-
ler, power switches, inductor and all support components.
Operating over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 60V (7.5V
minimum voltage to start), the LTM8027 supports output
voltages up to 24V, and a switching frequency range of
100kHz to 500kHz, each set by a single resistor. Only the
bulk input and output filter capacitors are needed to finish
the design.
The low profile package (4.32mm) enables utilization of
unused space on the bottom of PC boards for high den-
sity point of load regulation. A built-in soft-start timer is
adjustable with a small capacitor.
The LTM8027 is packaged in a thermally enhanced, compact
(15mm
×
15mm) and low profile (4.32mm) over-molded
land grid array (LGA) package suitable for automated
assembly by standard surface mount equipment. The
LTM8027 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 RUN pin is internally clamped to 5V
Note 3:
The LTM8027E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C internal operating temperature. 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 LTM8027I is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full
–40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. The LTM8027MP
is guaranteed to meet specifications over the full –55°C to 125°C
internal operating range. Note that the maximum internal temperature is
determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board
layout, the rated package thermal resistance and other environmental
factors.
Note 4:
The maximum continuous output current may be derated by the
LTM8027 junction temperature.
Note 5:
V
IN
voltages below the start-up threshold (7.5V) are only
supported when the V
CC
is externally driven above 6.5V.
