DESCRIPTION

LTM4676

Dual Step-Down µModule

Regulator with PMBus Digital

Power System Management

Demonstration circuit 1811A is a dual-output, high ef-

ficiency, high density, µModule

regulator with 4.5V to

26.5V input range. Each output can supply 13A maximum

load current. The demo board has a LT M

4676 µModule

regulator, which is a dual 13A or single 26A step-down

regulator with PMBus power system management. Please

see LTM4676 data sheet for more detailed information

The DC1811A powers up to default settings and produces

power based on configuration resistors without the need

for any serial bus communication. This allows easy evalu-

ation of the DC/DC converter. To fully explore the extensive

power system management features of the part, download

the GUI software LTpowerPlay™ onto your PC and use

LT C ’s I2C/SMBus/PMBus dongle DC1613A to connect to

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

(TA= 25°C)

PARAMETER CONDITION VALUE

Input Voltage Range 4.5V to 26.5V

Output Voltage, VOUT0 VIN = 4.5V to 26.5V, IOUT0 = 0A to 13A 0.5V to 4V, Default: 1V

Maximum Output Current, IOUT0 VIN = 4.5V to 26.5V, VOUT = 0.5V to 4V 13A

Output Voltage, VOUT1 VIN = 4.5V to 26.5V, IOUT1 = 0A to 13A 0.5V to 5.4V, Default: 1.8V

Maximum Output Current, IOUT1 VIN = 4.5V to 26.5V, VOUT = 0.5V to 5.4V 13A

Typical Efficiency VIN = 12V, VOUT = 1.8V, IOUT = 13A 86.3%

Default Switching Frequency 500kHz

Demonstration circuit 1811A is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTM4676. Refer to Figure 2 for

the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the

procedure below.

1. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN

(4.5V to 26.5V) and GND (input return).

2. Connect the 1.0V output load between VOUT0 and GND

(Initial load: no load).

3. Connect the 1.8V output load between VOUT1 and GND

(Initial load: no load).

4. Connect the DVMs to the input and outputs. Set default

jumper position: JP1: ON; JP2: ON.

5. Turn on the input power supply and check for the proper

output voltages. VOUT0 should be 1.0V±1 %, and VOUT1

should be 1.8 ±1%.

6. Once the proper output voltages are established, ad-

just the loads within the operating range and observe

the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage and other

parameters.

7. Connect the dongle and control the output voltages

from the GUI. See “LTpowerPlay GUI for the LTM4676

Quick Start Guide” for details.

Note: When measuring the output or input voltage rip-

ple, do not use the long ground lead on the oscilloscope

probe. See Figure 3 for the proper scope probe technique.

Short, stiff leads need to be soldered to the (+) and (–)

terminals of an output capacitor. The probe’s ground ring

needs to touch the (–) lead and the probe tip needs to

touch the (+) lead.

Connecting a PC to DC1811A

You can use a PC to reconfigure the power management

features of the LTM4676 such as: nominal VOUT, margin

setpoints,OV/UVlimits,temperaturefaultlimits,sequenc-

ing parameters, the fault log, fault responses, GPIOs and

other functionality. The DC1613A dongle may be plugged

when VIN is present.

LTpowerPlay SOFTWARE GUI

LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows-based development

environment that supports Linear Technology power sys-

tem management ICs, including the LTM4676, LTC3880,

LTC3883, LTC2974 and LTC2978. The software supports

a variety of different tasks. You can use LTpowerPlay to

evaluate Linear Technology ICs by connecting to a demo

board system. LTpowerPlay can also be used in an offline

mode (with no hardware present) in order to build a mul-

tichip configuration file that can be saved and reloaded at a

latertime.LTpowerPlayprovidesunprecedented diagnostic

and debug features. It becomes a valuable diagnostic tool

during board bring-up to program or tweak the power

management scheme in a system, or to diagnose power

issues when bringing up rails. LTpowerPlay utilizes the

DC1613A USB-to-SMBus controller to communicate with

one of many potential targets, including the LTM4676, the

LTC3880 and the LTC3883’s demo system, or a customer

board. The software also provides an automatic update

feature to keep the soft-ware current with the latest set

of device drivers and documentation. The LTpowerPlay

software can be downloaded from:

http://www.linear.com/ltpowerplay

LTpowerPlay QUICK START GUIDE

Thefollowing procedure describeshow to use LTpowerPlay

to monitor and change the settings of LTM4676.

1. Download and install the LTPowerPlay GUI:

http://www.linear.com/ltpowerplay

2. Launch the LTpowerPlay GUI.

a. The GUI should automatically identify the DC1811A.

The system tree on the left hand side should look

like this:

b. A green message box shows for a few seconds in

the lower left hand corner, confirming that LTM4676

is communicating:

c. In the Toolbar, click the “R” (RAM to PC) icon to

read the RAM from the LTM4676. This reads the

configuration from the RAM of LTM4676 and loads

it into the GUI.

d. If you want to change the output voltage to a differ-

ent value, like 1.5V. In the Config tab, type in 1.5 in

the VOUT_COMMAND box, like this:

Then, click the “W” (PC to RAM) icon to write these

step, you will see the output voltage will change to

1.5V.
