spectrum operation, output voltage tracking for supply
rail sequencing and voltage margining.
Fault protection features include overvoltage protection,
overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown. The power
module is offered in a compact and thermally enhanced
15mm × 9mm × 2.8mm surface mount LGA package. The
LTM4608A is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTM4608AE is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications over the 0°C to 125°C internal operating temperature
range. Specifications over the full –40°C to 125°C internal operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTM4608AI is
guaranteed to meet specifications over the full internal operating
temperature range. The LTM4608AMP is guaranteed and tested
over the –55°C to 125°C temperature range. Note that the maximum
ambient temperature is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal resistance and
other environmental factors.
