POL regulators support wide array of functions
Power by Linear LTM46xx µModule power products from Analog Devices, are a series of point-of-load (POL) regulators designed to reduce solution size and deliver reliable power circuit performance. The LTM46xx µModule regulators support step-down (buck), step-up (boost), and step-down and step-up (buck-boost) conversion with a wide array of function and feature combinations.
The regulators are highly integrated system-in-package (SiP) power management solutions that integrate DC-DC controllers, inductors, compensation components, power transistors, and input and output capacitors. The devices offer control and monitor functions including temperature monitoring, current monitoring, and output voltage monitoring trimming, sequencing, and margining.
Offering efficient power system management, the µModule regulators increase reliability by delivering controlled voltage accuracy, fault reporting and logging, and remote debugging.
The LTM46xx series of µModule regulators comprises 100 power products in 15 product families with 22 package options.
Options include ultra-low noise regulators that meet EN55022 class B requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), buck-boost regulators that operate from higher input voltage and feature integrated magnetics, and an ultra-thin package that can fit on the back of the PCB or next to an ASIC or FPGA sharing the same cold plate or heat sink.
The multiple output devices are available in two, three, four, or five outputs, allowing current sharing of outputs to increase load current and ON/OFF or sequencing of each output.
