Linear Technology LTM4600HV Handbook

The LTM4600HV is a high-efficiency 10A DC/DC µModule suitable for applications with an input voltage range of 4.5V to 28V and an output voltage range of 0.6V to 5V. This product adopts a high switching frequency and an adaptive on-time current mode architecture, enabling a very fast transient response to line and load changes. Fault protection features include integrated overvoltage and short circuit protection with a defeatable shutdown timer. The product also features a built-in soft-start timer that can be adjusted with a small capacitor. The LTM4600HV is packaged in a low-profile package, allowing for high-density point-to-point regulation using unused space on the bottom of the PCB.
