ADI LTM4644IY Quad DC/DC Step-Down Power Module Regulator With Configurable 4A Output Array

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd., as a professional supplier of electronic components, is now offering ADI's high-performance LTM4644IY four-channel DC/DC buck μModule (micro-module) regulator to the market. This advanced power management solution, with its compact design, high efficiency, and multi-channel output capability, is an ideal choice for power systems in high-performance electronic devices such as FPGAs, DSPs, and ASICs.

Product Overview Of LTM4644IY

The LTM4644IY is a complete four-channel output buck μModule regulator, with each channel capable of delivering 4A continuous current (5A peak) output capability. Through parallel configuration, the four channels can be combined into an output array of up to 16A, meeting the requirements of high-current applications.

The LTM4644IY module utilises ADI's advanced power packaging technology, integrating the switch controller, power MOSFETs, inductors, and all necessary support components into a compact 9mm × 15mm × 5.01mm BGA package. This significantly simplifies system design, requiring only external input and output capacitors to complete the power supply design.
