DESCRIPTION
The LTM®4615 is a complete 4A dual output switching mode DC/DC power supply plus an additional 1.5A VLDO (very low dropout) linear regulator. Included in the package are the switching controllers, power FETs, inductors, a 1.5A regulator and all support components. The dual 4A DC/DC converters operate over an input voltage range of 2.375V to 5.5V, and the VLDO operates from a 1.14V to 3.5V input. The LTM4615 supports output voltages ranging from 0.8V to 5V for the DC/DC converters, and 0.4V to 2.6V for the VLDO. The three regulator output voltages are set by a single resistor for each output. Only bulk input and output capacitors are needed to complete the design.
