tying the MODE pin to GND. In this mode, inductor cur-

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 reversing

until the LTM4608’s output voltage is in regulation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Multiphase Operation

For output loads that demand more than 8A of current,

multiple LTM4608s can be cascaded to run out of phase

to provide more output current without increasing input

and output voltage ripples. The CLKIN pin allows the

LTC4608 to synchronize to an external clock (between

0.75MHz and 2.25MHz) and the internal phase locked
