LTM4676EY#PBF Overview
A μModule (micromodule) is a complete power management solution integrated into a single package, combining the controller, power MOSFETs, inductors, and supporting components. This integration simplifies design, reduces board space, and improves reliability compared to discrete solutions. The LTM4676EY#PBF belongs to the family of digital power system management (DPSM) regulators, which enable remote configuration and telemetry monitoring via the PMBus interface, an open standard I2C-based digital communication protocol.
Key features include PMBus-compliant digital interface for programming output voltages, margining, and monitoring of current, voltage, and temperature. The device supports pin-strapping resistors to set output voltages, switching frequency, and channel phase angle assignments at startup. It offers high efficiency and high density, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. The LTM4676EY#PBF is available with RoHS-compliant terminal finish, and the 'EY' suffix indicates the extended temperature grade (automotive, -40°C to +125°C).
Technically, the LTM4676EY#PBF integrates a dual-channel synchronous step-down converter with digital control. It features a 40ms turn-on time and supports remote configurability and telemetry monitoring over PMBus. The device can be configured for dual 13A outputs or paralleled for a single 26A output. The switching frequency is programmable up to 1000kHz, allowing optimization between efficiency and component size. The BGA package provides excellent thermal performance, with an exposed pad for heat dissipation.
Typical applications include high-performance computing, networking equipment, telecommunications, and industrial systems where precise voltage regulation and digital power management are required. The LTM4676EY#PBF is ideal for powering FPGAs, ASICs, processors, and memory in data centers and communications infrastructure.
When designing with this device, ensure proper thermal management by using adequate PCB copper area and vias to dissipate heat from the BGA package. The PMBus interface allows real-time monitoring and control, but requires careful layout to avoid noise coupling. Refer to the LTM4676 datasheet for detailed application circuits and layout guidelines.

Design Notes
The LTM4676EY#PBF dissipates significant power at high currents. For example, at 26A output and 12V input, power loss can be several watts. Use a 4-layer PCB with thermal vias under the BGA package to conduct heat to inner and bottom layers. Ensure adequate copper area for heat spreading. Refer to the datasheet's thermal performance curves for derating.
Place input and output capacitors close to the module pins to minimize parasitic inductance. Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors (e.g., 22µF) for input and output. For PMBus signals, route SDA and SCL with proper pull-up resistors (typically 2.2kΩ to 3.3V) and keep traces short to avoid noise. Follow the layout guidelines in the datasheet for optimal performance.
Ensure the PMBus address is set correctly using the ADDR pin to avoid conflicts on the bus. Do not exceed the absolute maximum input voltage of 26.5V. When paralleling channels for 26A output, follow the exact configuration in the datasheet to ensure current sharing. Also, verify the switching frequency setting to avoid interference with sensitive circuits.
