Operation
All pins of the LTM4676A are fully compatible with the
LTM4676. In most cases, the LTM4676A will work as a
drop in replacement for the LTM4676.
n
PolyPhase
®
applications can use the differential sense
amplifier of channel 0 for improved current sharing
n
PolyPhase applications can clock at the desired fre-
quency even if the SYNC pin is not clocking.
This guide describes the differences and explains the con-
figuration file changes needed when migrating a design
from the LTM4676 to the LTM4676A.
