Product details
Overview
LTM4682IY from Analog Devices is a quad-output, digitally managed µModule DC/DC regulator delivering up to 31.25A per channel (125A total) with PMBus interface, ±0.5% DC output accuracy at 0.75V, 4.5V–16V input range, and integrated 16-bit ΔΣ ADC for telemetry. It serves as a high-density, multi-rail core power solution for AI accelerators and high-performance computing processors.
For engineers reviewing the LTM4682IY datasheet, LTM4682IY pinout, LTM4682IY application, or LTM4682IY equivalent, key selection considerations include its quad-channel analog control loops with digital configurability, real-time current/voltage/temperature readback accuracy, phase-interleaved operation up to 750kHz, and BGA package compatibility with tight layout constraints in server and networking equipment.
Technical Context
The LTM4682IY implements four independent, digitally programmable analog PWM control loops with hardware-based fast transient response-no firmware dependency. Each channel supports pin-strapped startup configuration (voltage, frequency, phasing) and full PMBus 1.3 compliance including telemetry polling up to 125Hz.
It integrates true input current sensing via differential amplifiers, sub-milliohm DCR-based output current sensing, onboard EEPROM with ECC for fault logging, and hardware-level fault responses (OV/UV/OT/OC) with dedicated FAULTn pins and PGOOD monitoring per channel.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail digital power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTM4686IY#PBF | Dual 40A output (80A total); higher per-channel current but no quad-channel flexibility; lacks dual I²C buses | Better suited for dual-rail high-current ASICs; not suitable for 4-rail partitioning or independent telemetry per rail | Select when total current demand exceeds 125A but rail count is ≤2 and shared telemetry suffices |
| TPS546D24ARVFT | Single 60A PMBus buck; requires four units for quad-rail operation; no integrated current sensing or EEPROM fault log | Requires external current-sense resistors, sequencing IC, and telemetry aggregation; higher layout complexity | Select when board space permits discrete implementation and cost sensitivity outweighs integration benefits |
Compared with LTM4686IY#PBF and TPS546D24ARVFT, the LTM4682IY uniquely delivers true quad-channel autonomy-including independent PMBus buses, per-rail fault interrupts, and hardware-configurable startup-within a single BGA footprint, reducing system-level design effort and improving fault isolation in mission-critical compute platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per channel for the LTM4682IY?
The LTM4682IY supports up to 31.25A continuous output current per channel (VOUT0–VOUT3), with thermal derating applied above 85°C ambient per Table 10–12 in the datasheet. At full 125A aggregate, it requires proper airflow and PCB copper thickness (≥2 oz) to maintain junction temperature below 125°C.
Does the LTM4682IY require external programming to operate out-of-the-box?
No-the LTM4682IY operates immediately after power-up using factory-default EEPROM settings. Output voltage, switching frequency, and channel phasing can be set via resistor strapping (VOUTn_CFG, FSWPH_nn_CFG pins) without host intervention or firmware. Digital configuration via PMBus is optional for advanced tuning.
How does the LTM4682IY handle overcurrent protection?
The LTM4682IY implements dual-level overcurrent protection: cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (45A typical) and time-averaged output current limiting (40A typical), both configurable via PMBus command IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT. Faults trigger immediate shutdown of the affected channel and assert the corresponding FAULTn pin.
Can the LTM4682IY support synchronous operation across multiple units?
Yes-the LTM4682IY provides SHARE_CLK_01 and SHARE_CLK_23 outputs to synchronize switching phases with external LTM4682IY or compatible µModule devices. This enables seamless current sharing across >125A systems and reduces input/output ripple through controlled phase interleaving.
What is the accuracy of input current measurement on the LTM4682IY?
The LTM4682IY achieves ±2% input current readback accuracy over 4.5V–16V input range and 0°C–125°C temperature, measured differentially across IN_nn+/IN_nn– pins. This enables precise system-level power budgeting and input capacitor sizing without external metrology-grade sensors.
