Demonstration circuit 3082A-A features the LTM4681: the wide input and output voltage range, high efficiency and power density, high current PolyPhase® single output DC/DC step-down μModule® regulator with digital power system management. DC3082A-A is configured as 8-phase single output using 2 × LTM4681. The factory default input voltage is 12V typical, output voltage is 1V at 240A typical or 250A peak with recommended 400LFM forced airflow. The demo board output voltages can be adjusted from 0.6V to 1V. Programming the output voltages to any value that is greater than 1V, requires derating output current based on thermal derating curves provided in the data sheet of the LTM4681. Heat sink or other appropriate electronic cooling systems can also be used in conjunction with forced airflow to further optimize the output power when the output is on and loaded with maximum output current. The factory default switching frequency is preset at 350kHz typical. DC3082A-A comes with PMBus interface and digital power system management functions. An onboard 12-pin connector is available for users to connect the dongle DC1613A to the demo board, provides an easy way to communicate and program the part using LTpowerPlay® software development tool. LTpowerPlay software and I2C/PMBus/SMBus dongle DC1613A allows users to monitor real time telemetry of input and output voltages, input and output current, switching frequency, internal IC die temperatures, power stage component temperatures and fault logs. Programmable parameters include device address, output voltages, control loop compensation, switching frequency, phase interleaving, DCM or CCM Mode of operation, digital soft-start, sequencing, and time based shutdown, fault responses to input and output overvoltage, output overcurrent, IC die and power component overtemperatures. The LTM4681 is available in a thermally enhanced, low profile 330-Lead (15mm × 22mm × 8.17mm) BGA package. It is recommended to read the data sheet and demo manual of LTM4681 prior to using or making any hardware changes to DC3082A-A. LTpowerPlay software can be downloaded here. USB to PMBus Controller Dongle DC1613A for use with LTpowerPlay is available here.

The LTC1773 is a current mode synchronous buck regulator controller that drives external complementary power MOSFETs using a fixed frequency architecture. The operating supply range is from 2.65V to 8.5V, making it suitable for 1- or 2-cell lithium-ion battery powered applications. Burst Mode? operation provides high efficiency at low load currents. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation which extends operating time in battery-operated systems.The operating frequency is internally set at 550kHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors. For switching-noise sensitive applications, it can be synchronized up to 750kHz. Peak current limit is user programmable with an external high side sense resistor. A SYNC/FCB control pin guarantees regulation of secondary windings regardless of load on the main output by forcing continuous operation. Burst Mode operation is inhibited during synchronization or when the SYNC/FCB pin is pulled low to reduce noise and RF interference. Soft-start is provided by an external capacitor.Synchronous rectification increases efficiency and eliminates the need for a Schottky diode, saving components and board space. The LTC1773 comes in a 10-lead MSOP package.Applications Cellular Telephones RF PA Supply Portable Instruments Wireless MODEMS Distributed Power Systems Notebook and Palm Top Computers, PDAs Single and Dual Cell Lithium-Ion Powered Devices

The LTC7811 is a high performance triple output (buck/buck/boost) DC/DC switching regulator controller that drives all N-channel power MOSFET stages. Its constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable switching frequency of up to 3MHz. The LTC7811 operates from a wide 4.5V to 40V input supply range. When biased from the output of the boost converter or another auxiliary supply, the LTC7811 can operate from an input supply as low as 1V after start-up.The very low no-load quiescent current extends operating run time in battery powered systems. OPTI-LOOP? compensation allows the transient response to be optimized over a wide range of output capacitance and ESR values. The LTC7811 features a precision 0.8V reference for the bucks, 1.2V reference for the boost and a power good output indicator.The LTC7811 additionally features spread spectrum operation which significantly reduces the peak radiated and conducted noise on both the input and output supplies, making it easier to comply with electromagnetic interference (EMI) standards.APPLICATIONS Automotive and Transportation Industrial Military/Avionics
