LTpowerPlay SOFTWARE GUI
LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows based development
environment that supports Linear Technology power
system management ICs and μModules, including the
LTM4675, LTM4676, LTM4677, LTC3880, LTC3882,
LTC3883, LTC2974 and LTC2978. The software supports
a variety of different tasks. You can use LTpowerPlay to
evaluate Linear Technology ICs by connecting to a demo
board system. LTpowerPlay can also be used in an offline
mode (with no hardware present) in order to build a mul
-
tichip configuration file that can be saved and reloaded at a
later time. LTpowerPlay provides unprecedented diagnostic
and debug features. It becomes a valuable diagnostic tool
during board bring-up to program or tweak the power
management scheme in a system, or to diagnose power
issues when bringing up rails. LTpowerPlay utilizes the
DC1613A USB-to-SMBus controller to communicate with
one of many potential targets, including the LTM4675,
LTM4676, LTM4677, LTC3880, LTC3882, LTC3883’s
demo system or a customer board. The software also
provides an automatic update feature to keep the software
current with the latest set of device drivers and documenta
-
tion. The LTpowerPlay software can be downloaded from:
