Quad 40VIN, Silent Switcher μModule Regulator


with Configurable 3A Output Array
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
n Four Complete Step-Down Switching Power Supplies The LTM ®8060 is quad 40V IN, 3A step-down
n Low Noise Silent Switcher® Architecture Silent Switcher μModule® regulator. The Silent Switcher
n CISPR22 Class B and CISPR25 Class 5 Compliant architecture minimizes EMI while delivering high efficiency
n Wide Input Voltage Range: 3V to 40V at frequencies up to 3MHz. Included in the package are the
n Wide Output Voltage Range: 0.8V to 8V controllers, power switches, inductors, and support com-
n 3A Continuous Output Current per Channel at 12VIN, ponents. Operating over a wide input voltage range, the
3.3VOUT, TA = 80°C LTM8060 supports output voltages from 0.8V to 8V, and
n 4A Continuous Output Current per Channel at 12VIN, a switching frequency range of 200kHz to 3MHz, each set
3.3VOUT, fSW = 2MHz, TA = 60°C by a single resistor. Only the bulk input and output filter
n Multiphase or Multi-μModule Parallelable for capacitors, are needed to finish the design. The LTM8060
Increased Output Current product video is available on website.
n Low Thermal Resistance, θJA = 8.4°C/W, The LTM8060 is packaged in a compact (16mm × 11.9mm
θJCtop = 5.0°C/W, θJCbot = 1.8°C/W × 3.32mm) over-molded ball grid array (BGA) package
n Selectable Switching Frequency: 200kHz to 3MHz suitable for automated assembly by standard surface
n Compact Package mount equipment. The LTM8060 is RoHS compliant.
