Linear Technology LTM4600HVMPV: Switch-mode regulator suits military applications

Part of the vendor’s family of µModule dc/dc regulators targeting rugged military and avionics applications, the 10A, LTM4600HVMPV-encapsulated switching dc/dc regulator system provides a –55 to +125°C temperature range. A built-in inductor in the synchronous step-down regulator supports power components and compensation circuitry. Operating from a 4.5 to 28V input-supply range, the device regulates a 0.6 to 5V output voltage. The regulator delivers a 10A continuous-load current, a 14A peak-load current, and claims 92% efficiency. The device requires only input and output bulk capacitors and a resistor for setting output voltage, allowing for a simplified design. Available in a 15×15×2.8-mm military-plastic LGA package, the LTM4600HVMPV costs $36.95 (1000).
