DESCRIPTION

LTC2971

High Voltage Two 2-Channel PMBus Power System

Managers with Four Power Supply Rails

The DC2875A is a demonstration system for the LTC

2971

Power System Manager that interfaces to various regula-

tors. The board contains all the circuitry needed to demon-

strate a power system that utilizes two 2-channel LTC2971

devices that manage four power supplies. The four power

supplies include various switching regulators for the pur-

pose of demonstrating a variety of methods to sense volt-

age and current. The demo board provides a sophisticated

4-channel digitally programmable power supply system.

The LTC2971 is a 2-channel I2C/SMBus/PMBus Power

System Manager that features accurate input current

and energy measurement and is capable of managing

±60V supplies. The device monitors input current and

input voltage, and calculates input power and energy.

The DC2875A demonstrates the ability of the LTC2971

to sequence, trim, margin, supervise, monitor, and log

faults for four power supplies. The LTC2971 monitors

each channel’s output voltage and output current and also

monitors each channel’s external temperature sensor and

its own internal die temperature.

The DC2875A board contains four independent power

supply rails. All four rails are based on DC/DC switching

regulators. The +36V and +32V channels are managed by

an LTC2971 and the ±24V channels are managed by an

LTC2971-1. The board is pre-configured with these volt-

ages and may be re-configured with feedback resistors.

The LTpowerPlay

graphical user interface (GUI) sup-

ports this demonstration system and enables complete

control of all the features of the LTC2971. Together, the

LTpowerPlay software and DC2875A hardware system

create a powerful development environment for design-

ing and testing configuration settings of the LTC2971.

LTpowerPlay stores these settings in the LTC2971 internal

EEPROM or in a project file. The software displays all of

the configuration settings and real time measurements

from the Power System Management IC. Telemetry allows

easy access and decoding of the fault log created by the

LTC2971. The board comes preprogrammed with the

COMMON BOARD OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

A simplified block diagram of the DC2875A is shown in Figure5. Each LTC2971 measures input current with a 50mΩ

sense resistor for their managed channels. Each device also controls, monitors, and supervises its two outputs.

POWERING THE BOARD

The DC2875A board is powered from a wall-powered 12V

supply. The supply must be capable of delivering >2A.

If two channels are loaded with the maximum allowable

current, the input current may exceed 2A. The LTC2971

devices are powered either from the DC1613’s 3.3V power

or DC jack power if VIN is applied.

For your convenience, a 12V to 48V boost switch-

ing regulator has been designed into the board. The

48V supply acts as the input power supply to the four

channels. Each LTC2971 device measures 48V input

voltage and input current to the 2 power stages it man-

ages. A 12V wall transformer is much more common

than a 48V transformer.

DC2875A LEDs

The blue LED near the power jack indicates that the DC

jack has voltage. The green LEDs labeled VDD33 illumi-

nates when the LTC2971 is powered from either the USB

controller or the external V

power. Each channel has

its own green LED which indicates that the channel is

enabled. The red LEDs on ALERTB and FAULTB indicate

a warning or fault has occurred.

RESET THE LTC2971

To reset the LTC2971 and reload the EEPROM contents

into operating memory (RAM), press the pushbutton

switch SW1 labeled RESET.

PRE-LOAD THE OUTPUTS

Each of the outputs has pre-load resistors that provide

5mA of load current. This ensures that the output voltage

decays to GND quickly when the channel is disabled. This

is useful when sequencing off then on quickly.

CONTROLLING/SEQUENCING CHANNELS

By default, all four channels on the DC2875A board are

controlled by a single CONTROL switch S1.

To demonstrate time-based sequencing, let’s use the RUN

switch as the master enable. The LTC2971 devices are

pre-configured with different TON_DELAY values for each

channel. The TON_DELAY parameter is applied to each of

the channels relative to the CONTROL pin or Group opera-

tion command to turn all channels “on”. The same applies

to TOFF_DELAY values. When the CONTROL switch is

set to the OFF position, all rails will power down sequen-

tially based on the device’s TOFF_DELAY values. Figure6

shows an oscilloscope screen capture of the four output

rails sequencing up.

COMMON BOARD OPERATIONS

Figure6. Sequencing Output Channels On

Each channel has an LED that visually indicates if the

channel has power. When the CONTROL pin is switched

on and off, you will observe the relative on/off timing of

the four channels. The timings are intentionally skewed

to show the rails ramp times more clearly.

For the LTC2971, the TON_DELAY and TOFF_DELAY val-

ues extend to 13.1 seconds, providing a reasonable range

for sequencing on and off the power supply rails.

MARGIN ALL RAILS

The LTC2971 power system manager not only monitors

output voltages and currents but can margin the outputs

either high or low. Margining is the operation that moves

a rail up or down for testing purposes. It allows a system

to be fully characterized over supply limits without the use

of external hardware or resources. The GUI provides an

easy way to margin all rails high or all low by clicking one

of four buttons. To invoke the margining dialog, click the

GroupOp icon in the toolbar. The buttons labeled “ignore

faults”will margin without creating a fault even if the fault

limits are exceeded.

A look at the telemetry window shows the effect of the

margin high or margin low operation. This screen shot

is a telemetry plot of READ_VOUT_PERCENT showing

all rails going from nominal set-points to margin high,

margin low, and back to nominal voltages.

COMMON BOARD OPERATIONS

The LTC2971 has a multiplexed ADC that is used to pro-

vide voltage, current, and temperature readback values.

The telemetry plot in the GUI is similar to a multi-channel

oscilloscope which is capable of displaying any param-

eter that is displayed in the telemetry window. Due to the

nature of a multiplexed ADC converter, it has an associ-

ated ADC loop time of approximately 135ms.

CREATING A FAULT

There is a pushbutton on the DC2875A board that is used

to force a fault and demonstrate the demo board’s ability

to detect it and respond according to the configuration.

When depressed, the FAULT pushbutton (SW2) creates

a fault (shorts VOUT_CH2 to ground) on CH2, the +24V

output. When faulted, all channels power down immedi-

ately and the GUI’s system tree indicates the color red for

the Status portion of that channel. You should see all out-

puts power off, the fault LED momentarily illuminate, the

alert LED illuminate continuously, and all rails sequence

back on after a retry period. You may also hold the FAULT

pushbutton indefinitely to demonstrate the fault behavior

and retry timing.

CLEARING A FAULT

To clear a fault, the user can click the CF icon in the GUI

or simply push the RESET pushbutton (SW1) on the

DC2875A demo board. In both cases, the red (+) on the CF

icon and alert LED on the board are both cleared. Notice

that all rails are automatically re-enabled after a program-

mable retry period. A dialog box may pop up after clicking

the Clear Faults (CF) icon. If a fault log is present, a dialog

will ask if you would like to clear the fault log as well as

clear system faults. After clearing faults, the system tree

will return to “green” and fault logs re-armed. For further

information, see the Working with the Fault Log section.

WHAT IS A FAULT LOG?

A fault log is a nonvolatile record of the power system

leading up to the time of fault. Telemetry data is continu-

ously updated in a circular RAM buffer in the LTC2971.

When a fault occurs, the contents of the RAM buffer are

“WHY AM I OFF?” TOOL

Use the “Why am I Off”tool in the LTpowerPlay GUI to diagnose the cause for a power supply channel being in an off

state. The tool is located in the top right corner of the GUI, above the “Register Information”tab. Hover your cursor

over the tab to show the tool.

First select an output channel in the system tree. The tool collects various status information and provides a diagnosis.

automatically written to NVM. The most recent monitored

values (uptime, voltage, current, temperature) provide

additional context preceding the fault. It is a power-

ful diagnostic feature of the LTC2971 on the DC2875A
