DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
4680
is a dual 30A or single 60A step-down
®
µModule
(power module) DC/DC regulator featuring
®
remote configurability and telemetry-monitoring of power
management parameters over
2
dard I
C-based digital interface protocol. The LTM4680
is comprised of digitally programmable analog control
loops, precision mixed-signal circuitry, EEPROM, power
MOSFETs, inductors and supporting components.
The LTM4680 product video is available on the website.
The LTM4680's 2-wire serial interface allows outputs
to be margined, tuned and ramped up and down at pro-
grammable slew rates with sequencing delay times. True
input current sense, output currents and voltages, output
power, temperatures, uptime and peak values are read-
able. Custom configuration of the EEPROM contents is not
required. At start-up, output voltages, switching frequency,
and channel phase angle assignments can be set by pin-
strapping resistors. The
USB-to-PMBus converter and demo kits are available.
The LTM4680 is offered in a 16mm × 16mm × 7.82mm
BGA package available with SnPb or RoHS compliant ter-
minal finish. Pin compatible with LTM4678.
