EVAL-LTC4286-A1Z is a fully featured evaluation board for the LTC4286. The board layout provides a clear example of all the peripheral components and the hot-swap power path. The layout also maximizes the ability of the board to dissipate heat for some of the key components on the power path, allowing the evaluation of high-current hot-swap setups.

Twelve sense resistor footprints and six (three on the bottom side) multipackage metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) footprints provide great flexibility and allow a wide range of application setups.

Multiple test points allow easy access to all critical points and pins. Seven light emitting diodes (LEDs) provide direct visual indication of board status, such as supply input, output, SDA, SCL, ALERT, power good, and fault.

The board supports PMBus communication, allowing the user to communicate with the LTC4286.

The board is fully compatible with the LTpowerPlay^® evaluation software, which can be downloaded from the LTpowerPlay page.

A USB-to-I²C controller (DC1613A) is required to use the evaluation software.

The standard evaluation kit is prepopulated and tested with a 54 V, 36 A hot-swap design capable of working with a 1 mF output capacitor.

Full specifications on the LTC4286 are available in the LTC4286 data sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc., and must be consulted with the user guide when using the EVAL-LTC4286-A1Z evaluation board.

• Designed to be used for 48V Power Systems as the 48V offers a higher power density.
• Integrated solution for hot-swap applications allowing a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane.
• Ease in design as it uses micro modules that will utilize few external components
• High power and low voltage capability for FPGAs, microcontrollers, etc.

The AD-PS0005-RD reference design provides a comprehensive power solution for 48V systems, featuring multiple outputs and a hot-swappable capability for enhanced reliability and flexibility.

This system board integrates the following key components: LTC4286, a high-power positive hot-swap controller; LTM4660, a 60V/300W hybrid step-down µModule® bus converter that delivers the 12V output; LTM4681, a quad 31.25A µModule regulator with an advanced digital power management system; and LTM4655, a 40V dual 4A step-down or 50W inverting µModule regulator for versatile power conversion.
