The LTM®4677 is a dual 18A or single 36A step-down µModule® (power module) DC/DC regulator with 40ms turn-on time. It Features remote configurability and telemetry-monitoring of power management parameters over PMBus- an open standard I2C-based digital interface protocol. The LTM4677 is prised of fast analog control loops, precision mixed-signal circuitry, EEPROM, power MOSFETs, inductors and supporting ponents. The LTM4677’s 2-wire serial interface allows outputs to be margined, tuned and ramped up and down at programmable slew rates with sequencing delay times. Input and output currents and voltages, output power, temperatures, uptime and peak values are readable. 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...
