LTM2987
16-Channel µModule PMBus
Power System Manager
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTM®2987 is a 16-channel µModule® (micromodule)
Power System Manager used to sequence, trim (servo),
margin, supervise, manage faults, provide telemetry and
create fault logs. PMBus commands support power sup-
ply sequencing, precision point-of-load voltage adjustment
and margining. DACs use a proprietary soft-connect algo-
rithm to minimize supply disturbances. Supervisory func-
tions include overvoltage and undervoltage threshold limits
for sixteen power supply output channels and two power
supply input channels, as well as over and under tempera-
ture limits. Programmable fault responses can disable the
power supplies with optional retry after a fault is detected.
Faults that disable a power supply can automatically trig-
ger black box EEPROM storage of fault status and associ-
ated telemetry. An internal 16-bit ADC monitors sixteen
output voltages, two input voltages, and die temperature.
In addition, odd numbered channels can be configured
to measure the voltage across a current sense resistor. A
programmable watchdog timer monitors microprocessor
activity for a stalled condition and resets the microproces-
sor if necessary. A single wire bus synchronizes power
supplies across multiple LTC Power System Management
(PSM) devices. Configuration EEPROM with ECC supports
autonomous operation without additional software.
