    DC2028A. 6. Launch the LTpowerPlay GUI. a. The GUI automatically identifies the DC2028A and builds a system tree for each power manager. The system tree on the left hand side will look like this: Note: For multiple board arrays, the GUI automatically ensures each device has a unique address.
  • Page 6 DEMO MANUAL DC2028A Quick stArt proceDure b. A green message box will be displayed momentarily in the lower left hand corner confirming that the DC2028A is communicating. c. Save the demo board configuration to a (*.proj) file by clicking the Save icon. This creates a backup file. Name it whatever you want.

  • Page 8 CREATING A FAULT There is a pushbutton on the DC2028A board that is used to force a fault and demonstrate the demo board’s ability to detect it and respond accord- ing to the configuration. When depressed, the pushbutton creates a fault (short to ground) on channel 7, the 3.3V output (GUI channel U0:7).
  • Page 9 For further information, see the Working with the Fault Log section. RESETTING THE DC2028A A reset pushbutton is provided on the board. To reset all devices on the DC2028A board and reload the EEPROM contents into operating memory (RAM), press RESET (SW2) on the DC2028A.
  • Page 10 DC2028A LEDS Each individual channel on DC2028A has its own green power good LED (CH0 through CH7). When USB power (DC1613 controller) or external power (6V to 14V jack) is applied, the 5V green LED will illuminate, indicating that the LTC2977 Power System Manager is powered.
  • Page 11 DEMO MANUAL DC2028A common Demo BoArD operAtions Each channel has an LED which 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 eight channels.
  • Page 12 Clicking the icon will bring up a dialog box. Note that it is context sensitive. If multiple DC2028A boards are connected, be sure that the desired device is selected in the system tree.
  • Page 13 LTC2977 channels, and a fault on any given channel will propagate to all channels on the DC2028A demo board since the fault pins are tied together. NOTE: All FAULT pins of the LTC2977 are tied together on the DC2028A demo board.
  • Page 14 (output) or may respond to the fault pin when another device drives it low (input). Because all fault pins are wire OR’d on the DC2028A, this hardware configuration allows one to program each device’s fault settings on a channel-by-channel basis.
