LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows based development
environment that supports Linear Technology power sys-
tem management ICs, including the LTM4675, LTC3880,
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
8
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
LTC PSM modules and ICs. The software also provides
an automatic update feature to keep the software current
with the latest set of device drivers and documentation.
