DESCRIPTION
LTM4676
Dual Step-Down µModule
Regulator with PMBus Digital
Power System Management
Demonstration circuit 1811B-A is a dual-output, high
efficiency, 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
TheDC1811B-Apowersuptodefaultsettingsandproduces
power based on configuration resistors without the need for
any serial bus communication. This allows easy evaluation
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 the board.

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 1811B-A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate 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. Oncetheproperoutputvoltagesareestablished,adjustthe
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 DC1811B-A
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.LTpowerPlay provides unprecedenteddiagnostic
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

Thefollowingprocedure describes howtouseLTpowerPlay
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. TheGUIshould automatically identify theDC1811B-A.
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.
Then, click the “W” (PC to RAM) icon to write these
registervaluestotheLTM4676.Afterfinishingthisstep,
you will see the output voltage will change to 1.5V.
Ifthewrite issuccessful,youwill seethefollowingmessage:
e. You can save the changes into the NVM. In the tool
bar, click “RAM to NVM” button, as following
f. Save the demo board configuration to a (*.proj)
file. Click the Save icon and save the file. Name it
whatever you want.
d. If you want to change the output voltage to a different
value, like 1.5V. In the Config tab, type in 1.5 in the
VOUT_COMMAND box, like this:
