APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LTM4606
The typical LTM4606 application circuit is shown in
Figure 20. External component selection is primarily
determined by the maximum load current and output
voltage. Refer to Table 2 for specifi c external capacitor
requirements for a particular application.
V
There are restrictions in the maximum V
down ratio that can be achieved for a given input voltage.
These constraints are caused by the limitation of the
minimum on and off time in the internal switches. Refer
to the Frequency Adjustment section to change the switch-
ing frequency and get wider input and output ranges. See
the Thermal Considerations and Output Current Derating
section in this data sheet for the current restrictions.
Output Voltage Programming and Margining
The PWM controller has an internal 0.6V reference voltage.
As shown in the Block Diagram, a 60.4k internal feedback
resistor connects the V
a resistor R
the output voltage:
Table 1. R
The MPGM pin programs a current that when multiplied
by an internal 10k resistor sets up the 0.6V reference ±
offset for margining. A 1.18V reference divided by the
RPGM resistor on the MPGM pin programs the current.

The output margining will be ± margining of the value.
This is controlled by the MARG0 and MARG1 pins. See
the truth table below:
Input Capacitors and Input EMI Noise Attenuation
The LTM4606 is designed to achieve the low input con-
ducted EMI noise due to the fast switching of turn-on
and turn-off. In the LTM4606, a high frequency inductor
is integrated to the input line for noise attenuation. V
and V
form a high frequency ∏ fi lter. As shown in Figure 19, the
ceramic capacitor C1 on the V
of the RMS current into the converter, so careful attention
is needed for capacitor C1 selection.
For a buck converter, the switching duty-cycle can be
estimated as:
Without considering the inductor ripple current, the RMS
current of the input capacitor can be estimated as:
In the above equation, η is the estimated effi ciency of the
power module. Note the capacitor ripple current ratings
are often based on temperature and hours of life. This
makes it advisable to properly derate the capacitor, or
choose a capacitor rated at a higher temperature than
required. Always contact the capacitor manufacturer for
derating requirements.
In a typical 6A output application, one or two very low
ESR X5R or X7R, 10μF ceramic capacitors are recom-
mended for C1. This decoupling capacitor should be placed
