Analog Devices LTM4732 Product Info

The LTM4732 is a complete 4A step-down Silent Switcher 3 power μModule® (micromodule) regulator in a tiny 6.25mm × 4mm × 1.92mm ball grid array (BGA) package. The package includes the switching controller, the power MOSFETs, an inductor, and the supporting components. Operating over an input voltage range of 3V to 16V, the LTM4732 supports an output range of 0.3V to 6V. A single resistor sets the output voltage, enabling unity-gain operation over the output range and resulting in virtually constant output noise independent of the output voltage. Only the bulk input and output capacitors are required to complete the design.

The LTM4732 employs the Silent Switcher 3 architecture with internal hot loop bypass capacitors to achieve low electromagnetic interference (EMI) and high efficiency. Additionally, the LTM4732 has an ultralow noise architecture to obtain exceptional low-frequency (<100kHz) output noise. The low electromagnetic interference (EMI) and the low-noise features make the LTM4732 ideal for noise-sensitive applications with a high-efficiency synchronous switching regulator. The LTM4732 is available with a RoHS-compliant terminal finish.
