Description
Demonstration circuit 1989A-C is a high efficiency, high
density, µModule regulator with 4.5V to 16V input range.
The output voltage is adjustable from 0.5V to 4V, and it
can supply 100A maximum load current. The demo board
has four
LTM
4676
µModule regulators. The LTM4676 is
®
a dual 13A or single 26A step-down regulator with PMBus
power system management. Please see LTM4676 data
sheet for more detailed information
DC1989A-C 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
