For more information 
The typical LTM4619 application circuit is shown in  
Figure 18. External component selection is primarily deter-
mined by the maximum load current and output voltage.
Output Voltage Programming
The PWM controller has an internal 0.8V reference voltage. 
As shown in the block diagram, a 60.4k internal feedback 
resistor R
FB
 connects V
OUT
 to V
FB
 pin. The output voltage 
will default to 0.8V with no feedback resistor. Adding a 
resistor R

 from V
FB
 pin to SGND programs the output 
voltage:

Input Capacitors
The LTM4619 module should be connected to a low AC-
impedance DC source. Two 1.5µF input ceramic capacitors 
are included inside the module. Additional input capacitors 
are needed if a large load is required up to the 4A level. 
A 47µF to 100µF surface mount aluminum electrolytic 
capacitor can be used for more input bulk capacitance. 
This bulk capacitor is only needed if the input source im-
pedance is compromised by long inductive leads, traces 
or not enough source capacitance. 
For a buck converter, the switching duty-cycle can be 
estimated as:

Without considering the inductor ripple current, for each 
output, the RMS current of the input capacitor can be 
estimated as:

• D•(1
−D)
In the above equation, 
η is the estimated efficiency of the 
power module. The bulk capacitor can be a switcher-rated 
aluminum electrolytic capacitor or a polymer capacitor. One 
10µF ceramic input capacitor is typically rated for 2A of 
RMS ripple current, so the RMS input current at the worst 
case for each output at 4A maximum current is about 2A. 
If a low inductance plane is used to power the device, then 
two 10µF ceramic capacitors are enough for both outputs 
at 4A load and no external input bulk capacitor is required. 
Output Capacitors
The LTM4619 is designed for low output voltage ripple 
noise. The bulk output capacitors defined as C
OUT
 are 
chosen with low enough effective series resistance (ESR) 
to meet the output voltage ripple and transient require-
ments. C
OUT
 can be a low ESR tantalum capacitor, a low 
ESR polymer capacitor or ceramic capacitor. The typical 
output capacitance range for each output is from 47µF 
to 220µF. Additional output filtering may be required by 
the system designer. If further reduction of output ripple 
or dynamic transient spikes is required, LTpowerCAD is 
available for stability analysis. Multiphase operation will 
reduce effective output ripple as a function of the num-
ber of phases. Application Note 77 discusses this noise 
reduction versus output ripple current cancellation, but 
the output capacitance should be considered carefully as 
a function of stability and transient response.  LTpowerCAD  
calculates the output ripple reduction as the number of 
implemented phases increased by N times.
