Ultra-thin 2.5A step-down DC-DC micro-module regulator

Linear Technology’s LTM4622, a complete dual 2.5A step-down switching mode µModule (micro-module) regulator, is now available from Digi-Key. The device is housed in an ultra-thin 6.25mm × 6.25mm × 1.82mm LGA package which includes the switching controller, power FETs, inductor, and support components. Operating over an input voltage range of 3.6V to 20V, the LTM4622 supports an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5.5V, set by a single external resistor. Its high efficiency design delivers dual 2.5A continuous, 3A peak, output current. Only a few ceramic input and output capacitors are needed. The LTM4622 supports selectable Burst Mode operation and output voltage tracking for supply rail sequencing. Its high switching frequency and current mode control enable a very fast transient response to line and load changes without sacrificing stability. Fault protection features include input over-voltage, output over-current, and over-temperature protection. The LTM4622 is RoHS compliant with Pb-free finish, says the company.
