 regulator, a high performance high efficiency 

4 output step-down regulator. The LTM4643EV has an 

operating input voltage range of 4V to 20V and is able 

to provide up to 3A out output current from each of its 

phases. Each output’s voltage is programmable from 0.6V 

to 3.3V. The LTM4643EV is a complete DC/DC point of load 

regulator in a thermally enhanced 15mm × 9mm × 1.82mm 

LGA package requiring only a few input and output ca-

pacitors. Output voltage tracking is available through the

TRACK/SS pin for supply rail sequencing. External clock 

synchronization is also available through the CLKIN pin. 

The CLKOUT pin provides for synchronization of additional 

modules’ phases. The LTM4643 data sheet must be read 

in conjunction with this demo manual for working on or 

modifying demo circuit 2453A.
