DEMO MANUAL DC1811B-B

Rev. A

DESCRIPTION

LTM4676A 

Dual Step-Down µModule 

Regulator with PMBus Digital 

Power System Management 

Demonstration circuit 1811B-B is a dual-output, high 

efficiency, high density, µModule

®

 regulator with 4.5V to 

26.5V input range. Each output can supply 13A maximum 

load current. The demo board has a 

LTM

®

4676A

 µModule 

regulator, which is a dual 13A or single 26A step-down 

regulator with PMBus power system management. Please 

see LTM4676A data sheet for more detailed information.
The DC1811B-B powers up to default settings and pro-

duces 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
