LTM8023MPY

LTM8023MPY is a μModule DC-DC buck regulator from Analog Devices/Linear Technology. It integrates most power components (switching regulator, inductor, and essential passives) into a single compact module, simplifying power design for embedded systems.
Key points:
- Purpose: converts a higher input rail to a stable, lower output voltage for CPUs, FPGAs, sensors, etc.
- Packaging: MPY variant (tape-and-reel) in a compact μModule package.
- Features: high efficiency, wide input range, protections (short-circuit, overtemperature, undervoltage), and an enable/soft-start option.
- External requirements: only input/output capacitors and, if adjustable, a feedback network; minimal external components overall.
- Applications: space-constrained or high-volume boards such as telecom, industrial, and consumer electronics.
For exact specs (input range, output options, current rating, and pinout), consult the LTM8023MPY data sheet and reference designs.

Key features of LTM8023MPY (µModule DC-DC converter):
- Integrated power stage, controller, and inductor in a compact MPY module (no external magnetics required)
- Wide input range: 4.5V to 60V
- Output: fixed or adjustable options; capable of delivering multiple amperes (typical 2–3A)
- High efficiency (up to around 95% depending on conditions) with good thermal performance
- Fixed switching frequency in the MHz region (high-speed operation)
- Built-in protections: overcurrent/short-circuit (hiccup), overtemperature, UVLO/ undervoltage, reverse current protection
- Remote ON/OFF control and Power-Good/diagnostic signals
- Reliable operation with soft-start and current limit
- RoHS compliant and fully tested (burn-in)
Note: For exact electrical specs (VIN range, VOUT options, and current capability) refer to the current datasheet for the MPY variant.

- Pin count: 16 pins (µModule package).
- Function: A 3A step-down (buck) switching regulator µModule with integrated inductor and power MOSFETs; converts input voltage to a lower regulated output. Includes control pins such as EN (enable) and FB (feedback) (plus GND/ VIN/ VOUT and status signals as typical). Designed for minimal external components.

Manufacturer: Analog Devices, Inc. (originally Linear Technology — the LTM product line).
What kind of company: Analog Devices is an American semiconductor company that designs and manufactures high-performance analog, mixed-signal and power-management integrated circuits and μModule (power module) products. It supplies components and reference designs for industrial, automotive, communications, and consumer electronics applications.
