Description
Demonstration circuit 2053A is a dual-output, high ef-
ficiency, high density, µModule
from a 4.5V to 17V input range. Each output can supply
9A maximum load current. The demo board features the
LTM4675 a dual 9A or single 18A step-down regulator
with PMBus digital power system management. Please see
the
LTM
4675
data sheet for more detailed information.
®
The DC2053A powers up and regulates its outputs accord-
ing to the LTM4675's factory-default EEPROM settings.
Configuration resistors pin-straps can set device switch-
ing frequency and output voltage, if desired. Serial bus
communication is not needed to configure or evaluate the
LTM4675, facilitating quick set up and easy lab evaluation
of the DC/DC converter. To fully explore the extensive DPSM
features of the part, install the GUI software LTpowerPlay™
onto your PC and use LTC's I
