The LTM®4609 is a high efficiency switching mode buckboost 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 36V, the
LTM4609 supports an output voltage range of 0.8V to
34V, set by a resistor. This high efficiency design delivers
up to 4A continuous current in boost mode (10A 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 without sacrificing stability. The
LTM4609 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 offered in small 15mm × 15mm × 2.82mm LGA and 15mm
× 15mm × 3.42mm BGA packages. The LTM4609 is available with SnPb (BGA) or RoHS compliant terminal finish.
