APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Layout Checklist/Example
The high integration of the LTM4602 makes the PCB board
layout very simple and easy. However, to optimize its electri-
cal and thermal performance, some layout considerations
are still necessary.
• Use large PCB copper areas for high current path,
• Place high frequency ceramic input and output capaci-
• Place a dedicated power ground layer underneath
• To minimize the via conduction loss and reduce module
• Do not put vias directly on pads unless they are capped.

LTM4602 Frequency Adjustment
The LTM4602 is designed to typically operate at 850kHz
across most input and output conditions. The control ar-
chitecture is constant on time valley mode current control.
The f
optional 1000pF capacitor. The switching frequency has
been optimized to maintain constant output ripple over the
operating conditions. The equations for setting the operat-
ing frequency are set around a programmable constant on
time. This on time is developed by a programmable current
into an on board 10pF capacitor that establishes a ramp
that is compared to a voltage threshold equal to the output
voltage up to a 2.4V clamp. This I
