    Figure 1. LTM4657, LTM4626, and LTM4638 offer different output current ratings using the same pinout. The LTM4657 and LTM4626 use lower profile inductors to reduce the overall height

    The LTM4657 is part of the family of tiny, high efficiency, identical pin-out, step-down µModule® devices. The LTM4657 is designed to operate at lower switching frequencies than the LTM4626 and LTM4638 as it provides higher efficiency within its 8A output current range. The LTM4657 bridges the gap between th
