DESCRIPTION

LTM4676EY

26A Step-Down µModule Regulator with

PMBus Power System Management

Demonstration circuit 2087A is a single-output, high ef-

ficiency,highdensity, µModule

regulator with 4.5V to 16V

input range. It can supply 26A maximum load current. The

demo board has a LT M

4676 µModule regulator, which is

a dual 13A or single 26A step-down regulator with PMBus

power system management. Please see LTM4676 data

sheet for more detailed information.

DC2087Apowersuptodefaultsettings and produces 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™ onto your PC and use LT C ’s

I2C/SMBus/PMBus dongle DC1613A to connect to the

board. LTpowerPlay allows the user to reconfigure the part

on the fly and store the configuration in EEPROM, view

telemetry of voltage, current, temperature and fault status.

Demonstration circuit 2087A is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTM4676EY. 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

(4.5V–16V) and GND (input return).

2. Connect the 1.0V output load between VOUT and GND

(Initial load: no load).

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

jumper position: JP1: ON.

4. Turn on the input power supply and check for the proper

output voltages. VOUT should be 1.0V ±1 %.

5. Once the proper output voltages are established, ad-

just the loads within the operating range and observe

the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage and other

parameters.

6. Connect the dongle and control the output voltages

from the GUI. See LTpowerPlay GUI for the LTM4676

Quick Start Guide for details.

Note: When measuring the output or input voltage ripple,

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.

Connecting a PC to DC2087A

You can use a PC to reconfigure the power management

features of the LTM4676 such as: nominal VOUT, margin

setpoints, OV/UV limits, temperature faultlimits, sequenc-

ing parameters, the fault log, fault responses, GPIOs and

other functionality. 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 sys-

tem management ICs, including the LTM4676, LT C

3880,

LTC3883, LTC2974 and LTC2978. 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

latertime. LTpowerPlay provides unprecedented diagnostic

and debug features. It becomes a valuable diagnostic tool

during board bring-up to program or tweak the power

management scheme in a system, or to diagnose power

issues when bringing up rails. LTpowerPlay utilizes the

DC1613A USB-to-SMBus controller to communicate with

one of many potential targets, including the LTM4676, the

LTC3880 and the 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

soft-ware can be downloaded from:

http://www.linear.com/ltpowerplay

LTpowerPlay QUICK START PROCEDURE

Thefollowingprocedure describes how to use LTpowerPlay

to monitor and change the settings of LTM4676.

1. Download and install the LTPowerPlay GUI:

http://www.linear.com/ltpowerplay

2. Launch the LTpowerPlay GUI.

a. TheGUI should automatically identify the DC2087A. 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 LTM4676 is

communicating:

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

RAM from the LTM4676. This reads the configuration

from the RAM of LTM4676 and loads it into the GUI.

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

values to the LTM4676. After finishing this step, you will

see the output voltage will change to 1.5V.

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

value, like 1.5V. In the Config tab, type in 1.5 in the

VOUT_COMMAND box, like this:

Ifthe write is successful, youwillseethefollowingmessage:

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

click “RAM to NVM” button, as following

f. Savethedemo board configuration to a (*.proj) file. Click

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

want.
