OPERATION
The LTM4626 is a standalone nonisolated switch mode OV and UV condition except during start-up when the DC/DC power supply. It can deliver up to 12A DC output TRACK pin is ramping up to 0.6V. current with few external input and output capacitors. Furthermore, in order to protect the internal power This module provides precisely regulated output voltage MOSFET devices against transient voltage spikes, the adjustable between 0.6V to 5.5V via one external resistor LTM4626 constantly monitors the V over a 3.1V to 20V input voltage range. The typical appli- IN pin for an overvolt- age condition. When V cation schematic is shown in Figure 23. IN rises above 24.5V, the regulator suspends operation by shutting off both power MOSFETs. The LTM4626 contains an integrated constant on-time Once VIN drops below 21.5V, the regulator immediately valley current mode regulator, power MOSFETs, inductor, resumes normal operation.
