LTpowerPlay SOFTWARE GUI
LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows based development
environment that supports Analog Devices power sys-
tem management ICs, including the LTC3880, LTC3883,
LTC3882, LTC3887 and LTC3886. The software supports
a variety of different tasks. You can use LTpowerPlay to
evaluate Analog Devices 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 diag-
nostic and debug features. It becomes a valuable diag-
nostic tool during board bring-up to program or tweak the
power management scheme in a system, or to diagnose
10
power issues when bringing up rails. LTpowerPlay uti-
lizes the DC1613A USB-to-SMBus controller to commu-
nicate with one of many potential targets, including the
LTC3886's DC2155A 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 documentation. The LTpowerPlay software
can be downloaded from:
