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, LTM4678, LTC3880,
LTC3882 and LTC3883. 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 multichip
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

one of many potential targets, including the LTM4675,
LTM4676, LTM4677, LTM4678, LTC3880, LTC3882,
LTC3883's demo system, or a customer board. The soft-
ware 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
