DESCRIPTION

LTM4686B

Ultrathin Dual 14A or Single 28A µModule Regulator

With Digital Power System Management

Demonstration circuit 3089A is a dual-output, high effi-

ciency, high density, µModule regulator with 2.7V to 5.75V

input range. Each output can supply 14A maximum load

current. The demo board has a LTM4686BµModule

regulator, which is a dual 14A or single 28A step-down

regulator with digital power system management. Please

see LTM4686B data sheet for more detailed information.

DC3089A powers up to default settings and produce

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

LT C ’s I2C/SMBus/PMBus dongle DC1613A to connect to

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 3089A is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTM4686B. Refer to Figure 2 for

the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the

procedure below.

1. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN

(2.7V-5.75V*) and GND (input return).

2. Connect the 0.5V output load between VOUT0 and GND

(Initial load: no load).

3. Connect the 0.7V output load between VOUT1 and GND

(Initial load: no load).

4. Connect the DVMs to the input and outputs. Set default

jumper position: JP1: ON; JP2: ON.

5. Turn on the input power supply and check for the

proper output voltages. VOUT0 should be 0.5V ±0.5%,

and VOUT1 should be 0.7V ±0.5%.

6. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust

the loads within the operating range and observe the

output voltage regulation, ripple voltage and other

parameters.

7. Connect the dongle and control the output voltages

from the GUI. See “LTpowerPlay GUI for the LTM4686B

Quick Start Guide” for details.

Note:When measuring the output or input voltage rip-

ple, do not use the long ground lead on the oscilloscope

probe. See Figure 3 for the proper scope probe technique.

Short, stiff leads need to be soldered to the (+) and (–)

terminals of an output capacitor. The probe’s ground ring

needs to touch the (–) lead and the probe tip needs to

touch the (+) lead.

* –If 2.70V < VIN <5.50V,

R9=OPEN, R91=R92=0ohm

–If 4.50V < VIN < 5.75V,

R9=0ohm, R91=R92=OPEN

Connecting a PC to DC3089A

You can use a PC to reconfigure the power management

features of the LTM4686B such as:nominal VOUT, mar-

gin set points, OV/UV limits, temperature fault limits,

sequencing parameters, the fault log, fault responses,

GPIOs and other functionalities. The DC1613A dongle

may be plugged when VIN is present.

LTPOWERPLAY SOFTWARE GUI

LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows based development

environment that supports Linear Technology power

system management ICs and μModules, including the

LTM4675, LTM4676A, LTM4677, LTM4678, LTM4686,

LTC3880, LTC3882 and LTC3883. The software supports

a variety of different tasks. You can use LTpowerPlay to

evaluate Linear Technology ICs by connecting to a demo

board system. LTpowerPlay can also be used in an offline

mode (with no hardware present) in order to build a mul-

tichip configuration file that can be saved and reloaded at

a later time. LTpowerPlay provides unprecedented diag-

nostic and debug features. It becomes a valuable diag-

nostic tool during board bring-up to program or tweak

the power management scheme in a system, or to diag-

nose power issues when bringing up rails. LTpowerPlay

utilizes the DC1613A USB-to-SMBus controller to com-

municate with one of many potential targets, including the

LTM4675, LTM4676A, LTM4677, LTM4686, LTC3880,

LTC3882, LTC3883’s demo system, or a customer board.

The software 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: ltpowerplay

To access technical support documents for LTC Digital

Power Products visit the LTpowerPlay Help menu. Online

help also available through the LTpowerPlay.

LTPOWERPLAY QUICK START PROCEDURE

The following procedure describes how to use LTpower-

Play to monitor and change the settings of LTM4686B.

1. Download and install the LTPowerPlay GUI:

ltpowerplay

2. Launch the LTpowerPlay GUI.

a. The GUI should automatically identify the DC3089A. The

system tree on the left-hand side should look like this:

b. A green message box shows for a few seconds in the

lower left hand corner, confirming that LTM4686B is

communicating:

c. In the Toolbar, click the “R” (RAM to PC) icon to read the

RAM from the LTM4686B. This reads the configuration

from the RAM of LTM4686B and loads it into the GUI.

d. If you want to change the output voltage to a different

value, like 0.6V. In the Config tab, type in 0.6 in the

VOUT_COMMAND box, like this:

Then, click the “W” (PC to RAM) icon to write these

step, you will see the output voltage will change to 0.6V.

If the write is successful, you will see the following

message:

e. You can save the changes into the NVM. In the tool bar,

click “RAM to NVM” button, as following:

f. Save the demo board configuration to a (*.proj) file.

Click the Save icon and save the file. Name it whatever

you want.
