DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 1669A features the LTM
μModule
®
regulator, a high performance high effi ciency
step-down regulator. The LTM4627EV has an operating
input voltage range of 4.5V to 20V and is able to provide
an output current of up to 15A. The output voltage is pro-
grammable from 0.6V to 5V and can be remotely sensed
with the internal optional differential remote sensing
amplifi er. The LTM4627EV is a complete DC/DC point-of-
load regulator in a thermally enhanced 15mm × 15mm ×
4.32mm LGA package requiring only a few input and output
capacitors. This regulator is internally compensated and
employs constant frequency current mode architecture,
enabling a fast transient response and stable control
