DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC1400A features the LTM
the high effi ciency, high density switch mode step-down
power module. The input voltage range is 2.5V to 5.5V.
The output voltage is jumper selectable from 0.6V to 3.3V.
The rated load current is 8A although derating is necessary
for certain V
, V
and thermal conditions. LTM4608A

offers a novel phase-shift clock output to support current
sharing with other regulators. The TRACK/SS pin allows
the user to program output voltage ramp-up and ramp-
down slew rate. The same pin also allows the output to
