DEMO MANUAL DC2570A

DESCRIPTION

LTM4678

Dual 25A or Single 50A µModule Regulator with 

Digital Power System Management,1

×

 LTM4678, 50A

Demonstration circuit 2570A is a dual output, high effi-

ciency, high density, µModule

®

 regulator with 4.5V to 16V 

input range. The output voltage is adjustable from 0.5V 

to 33V and it can supply 50A maximum load current. The 

demo board has a 

LTM

4678

 µModule regulator, which is 

a dual 25A or single 50A step-down regulator with digital 

power system management. Please see LTM4678 data 

sheet for more detailed information.
DC2570A powers up to default settings 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
