SOFTWARE CONTROL WITH LTpowerPlay
The LTpowerPlay GUI divides information into separate
panes in the window. On the left is the System Tree pane,
displaying a list of all Linear Technology devices identified
2
on the I C bus. For a single LTC4282 device, the tree is
small, but if other supported devices are present on the
2
I C bus, LTpowerPlay will add them. Click on a device in
this list to selectively access it. Information in other panes
pertains to the selected device.

DEMO MANUAL DC2442A
To the right of the system tree is the Configuration Reg-
ister pane displaying all of the configuration registers
available on the selected device. This view shows all of
the writable user-configurable RAM registers, and the GUI
offers clickable buttons and fields to edit the information
in these registers.
Note: Ensure that you set the resistor value of 62.5µΩ in
the Setup tab before viewing register data to get correct
current readout.
