Analog Devices Inc. LTM4681 μModule® DC/DC Regulator

Analog Devices Inc. LTM4681 μModule® DC-DC Regulator features remote configurability and telemetry monitoring of power management parameters over PMBus. The LTM4681 is comprised of digitally programmable analog control loops, precision mixed-signal circuitry, EEPROM, power MOSFETs, inductors, and supporting components. The regulator’s 2-wire serial interface allows outputs to be margined, tuned, and ramped up and down at programmable slew rates with sequencing delay times. It features readable true input current sense, output currents and voltages, output power, temperatures, uptime, and peak values. 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 LTpowerPlay® GUI and DC1613 USB-to-PMBus converter and demo kits are available.
