Forced Continuous Operation
In applications where fixed frequency operation is more
critical than low current efficiency, and where the lowest
output ripple is desired, forced continuous operation should
be used. Forced continuous operation can be enabled by
tying the MODE pin to GND. In this mode, inductor cur-
rent is allowed to reverse during low output loads, the I
voltage is in control of the current comparator threshold

throughout, and the top MOSFET always turns on with each
oscillator pulse. During start-up, forced continuous mode
is disabled and inductor current is prevented from revers-
ing until the LTM4608’s output voltage is in regulation.
Multiphase Operation
For output loads that demand more than 8A of current,
multiple LTM4608s can be cascaded to run out of phase to
