DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1811B-B is a dual-output, high
efficiency, high density, µModule
26.5V input range. Each output can supply 13A maximum
load current. The demo board has a
regulator, which is a dual 13A or single 26A step-down
regulator with PMBus power system management. Please
see LTM4676A data sheet for more detailed information.
The DC1811B-B powers up to default settings and pro-
duces 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
