FEATURES
LTM4700
Dual 50A or Single 100A µModule Regulator
with Digital Power System Management
DESCRIPTION
The
LTM
®
4700
is a dual 50A or single 100A step-down
µModule
®
(power module) DC/DC regulator featuring
remote configurability and telemetry-monitoring of power
management parameters over PMBus—
an open standard
I
2
C-based digital interface protocol. The LTM4700 is
comprised of fast analog control loops, precision mixed-
signal circuitry, EEPROM, power MOSFETs, inductors and
supporting components. The LTM4700 product video is
available on website.
The LTM4700’s 2-wire serial interface allows outputs to
be margined, tuned and ramped up and down at program-
mable slew rates with sequencing delay times. Input and
output currents and voltages, output power, temperatures,
uptime and peak values are readable. Custom configura-
tion of the EEPROM contents is not required. At start-up,
output voltages, switching frequency, and channel phase
angle as-signments can be set by pin-strapping resistors.
The
LTpowerPlay
®
GUI and DC1613 USB-to-PMBus con-
verter and
demo kits
are available.
The LTM4700 is offered in a 15mm × 22mm × 7.87mm
BGA package available with SnPb or RoHS compliant
terminal finish.
