40A Scalable µModule Regulator Protects Load by Tripping Upstream Power Source

February 8, 2017

MILPITAS, CA – February 8, 2017 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTM4636-1, a 40A to 240A scalable step-down µModule switching regulator. The part incorporates protection circuitry that trips a circuit breaker in the event of overvoltage or overtemperature fault conditions to protect itself, the PCB and loads such as high current low voltage processors, FPGAs, GPUs and ASICs. An output crowbar function quickly clamps the output to protect the load during an overvoltage condition. The LTM4636-1 benefits from an innovative BGA package construction in which the inductor is exposed on top and is used as a heat sink, permitting direct … Read More → "40A Scalable µModule Regulator Protects Load by Tripping Upstream Power Source"
