DESCRIPTION
LTC7106 and LTM4636
7-Bit DAC with PMBus Controlled
Step-Down µModule Regulator
Demonstration circuit 2830A features the LT M
®
4636EY,
a 40A high efficiency, switch mode step-down µModule
®
regulator which is controlled by the LT C
®
7106EDDB, a
precision, bidirectional, 7-Bit current DAC with PMBus
interface. The LTC7106 is used to adjust the output volt-
age of the LTM4636 by way of the PMBus. The LTM4636’s
input voltage range is from 4.7V to 15V and the output
voltage range is from 0.6V to 3.3V. De-rating is necessary
for certain VIN, VOUT, frequency and thermal conditions.
The LTC7106 requires an input voltage from 2.5V to 5.5V
and on DC2830A it’s powered directly from the DC1613A
dongle. The LTC7106 provides three ranges of IDAC out-
put current:Nominal Range (–64µA to 63µA), Range High
(–256µA to 252µA) and Range Low (–16µA to 15.75µA).
The nominal range is optimized with the highest accuracy.

BOARD PHOTO
It is recommended that users design the resistor divider
using the nominal range of the IDAC setting.
To explore the power system management features of
the LTC7106, download the GUI software LTpowerPlay
®
onto your PC and use ADI’s I2C/SMBus/PMBus Dongle
DC1613A to connect to the board. LTpowerPlay allows the
user to reconfigure the part on-the-fly, view IDAC current
value and fault status.
The LTM4636 and LTC7106 data sheets must be read in
conjunction with this demo manual prior to working on
or modifying demo circuit DC2830A.
Design files for this circuit board are available.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 2830A makes it easy to use the
LTC7106 to adjust the LTM4636 output voltage. This
demo manual will focus on the evaluation of LTC7106.
For the LTM4636 evaluation procedure, please refer to the
DC2230A-A demo manual on the Analog Devices website.
Please refer to Figure1 for proper demo board setup with
PC and follow the procedure below:
1. Place jumpers in the following positions for a typical
application:
MODE (JP2) RUN (JP1) EN (JP5)
CCM ON OFF
2. With power off, connect the input power supply, load
and meters as shown in Figure1. Preset the load to 0A
and VIN supply to 12V.
3. Turn on the power supply at the input. The output volt-
age should be 1.0V ±2.3% (0.977V to 1.023V).
4. Vary the input voltage from 6V to 15V and adjust the
load current from 0A to 40A. Observe the output volt-
age regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency, and other
parameters.
5. Once the proper output voltage is established on the
LTM4636 output, put JP5 to the ON position to enable
the LTC7106.

6. Open the LTpowerPlay software and adjust the IDAC
current value of the LTC7106. Monitor the regulator’s
output voltage as IDAC is changing. See LTpowerPlay
Quick Start session for details.
7. The output voltage will change by the following equa-
tion, where RFB1 is the top resistor of the voltage divider
and IDAC is the programmed bidirectional current of the
LTC7106. In the LTM4636, RFB1 is 4.99k inside the mod-
ule. Therefore, the user can simply choose IDAC value
accordingly to achieve the desired VOUT adjustment. See
Figure2 for a typical VOUT waveform with ±20µA IDAC.
ΔVOUT = –IDAC • RFB1
LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows based development
environment that supports Linear Technology power sys-
tem management ICs, including the LTC3880, LTC3883,
LTC3882, LTC3815, LTC2974 and LTC2978. The soft-
ware supports a variety of different tasks. You can use
LTpowerPlay to evaluate Linear Technology ICs by con-
necting to a demo board system. LTpowerPlay utilizes the
DC1613A USB-to-SMBus controller to communicate with
one of many potential targets, including the LTC7106’s
DC2830A demo system, or a customer board. The soft-
ware also provides an automatic update feature to keep
the software current with the latest set of device drivers
and documentation. The LTpowerPlay software can be
downloaded from:
http://www.analog.com/en/design-center/
ltpower-play.html.

Power Products visit Help. View online help on the LTpow-
erPlay menu.

LTpowerPlay QUICK START PROCEDURE
The following procedure describes how to use LTpowerPlay
to monitor and change the settings of LTC7106.
1. Download and install the LTPowerPlay GUI:
http://www.analog.com/en/design-center/
ltpower-play.html
2. Launch the LTpowerPlay GUI.
a. TheGUIshouldautomatically identify the DC2830A.The
system tree on the left-hand side should look like this:
b. A blue message box shows for a few seconds in the
lower left-hand corner, confirming that the LTC7106
is communicating:
c. In the Toolbar, click the “R” icon (RAM to PC) to read
the RAM from the LTC7106.
This reads the configuration from the RAM of LTC7106
and loads it into the GUI. When first powering on, you
shouldreadIDAC current at zero(highimpedanceIDAC)
due to the LTC7106’s internal power-on reset circuitry
until a valid write takes place. The IDAC current value
can be plotted in real time, shown in the following
screenshot (at zero when first powering on):
d. If you want to change the IDAC current to 10µA for
example, in the Config tab, type “10” in the MFR_IOUT_
COMMAND_LT C 7106:
Then, click the “W” icon (PC to RAM) to write these
register values to the LTC7106.

If the write is successful, you will see the following
message:
In the Telemetry Plot, you will see IDAC current value
change to the commanding value:
e. If you want to change the IDAC current to a negative
value (meaning sinking current), you need to change
the MFR_IOUT_MAX_LT C 7106 to a negative value first
(see data sheet for more details).
f. You can also change IDAC range between Nominal,
Low and High Range, as well as the Time Per Step in
LTpowerPlay, as shown in the following picture.
