Triple Output 28VIN Step-Down µModule Regulator with Integrated Heatsink delivers 70W in 4.5cm²

MILPITAS, CA – August 26, 2014 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTM4634, a triple output step-down µModule® (micromodule) regulator in a 15mm x 15mm x 5.01mm BGA package with integrated heat sink. The thermally efficient package enables the LTM4634 to deliver full current on all three outputs (5A, 5A, and 4A), more than 70W of output power at 65°C ambient with 200LFM airflow. Combined with only 13 ceramic capacitors and three resistors, the LTM4634 solution fits within 4.5cm² on a dual-sided PCB. The LTM4634 includes three DC/DC controllers, power switches, inductors and compensation in a single package. The regulated output voltage for channels 1 and 2 is adjustable between 0.8V to 5.5V, with the third channel from 0.8V to 13.5V, each with ±1.5% accuracy over line, load and temperature. The combination of wide output voltage range, a thermally efficient package, tight regulation accuracy and small solution size makes the LTM4634 well suited to regulate common intermediate power buses such as 12V, 5V and 3.3V in instrumentation, communications and industrial applications.

The LTM4634’s three switchers operate from an input voltage from 4.75V to 28V. Separate input power pins for each switcher enables channel one and/or channel two to be supplied from a 12.5V, 50W intermediate bus generated from channel three. The three switchers, operating from the same internal or optional external clock signal, are internally phase shifted by 120° to minimize input ripple. For loads in excess of 5A, channels 1 and 2 can be paralleled to support up to 10A. Output overvoltage and overcurrent fault protection are included in the regulator. The LTM4634’s internal temperature can be observed via two internal temperature diode monitors located next to the power stages.

The LTM4634 is available in the -40°C to +125°C internal operating temperature grade for immediate delivery from stock. Pricing starts at $35.95 each for 1,000-piece quantities. For more information, visit www.linear.com/product/LTM4634.

Package Evolution for MOSFETs and Diodes
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Vishay
A limiting factor for both MOSFETs and diodes is power dissipation per unit area and your choice of packaging can make a big difference in power dissipation. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Brian Zachrel from Vishay investigate how package evolution has led to new advancements in diodes and MOSFETs including minimizing package resistance, increasing power density, and more! They also explore the benefits of using Vishay’s small and efficient PowerPAK® and eSMP® packages and the migration path you will need to keep in mind when using these solutions in your next design.
