Quick start proceDure

2. Launch the LTpowerPlay GUI.
a. The GUI should automatically identify the DC1989A-A. 

The system tree on the left hand side should look like this:

b. A green message box shows for a few seconds in the 

lower  left  hand  corner,  confirming  that  LTM4676  is 

communicating:

c. In the Toolbar, click the “R” (RAM to PC) icon to read the 

RAM from the LTM4676. This reads the configuration 

from the RAM of LTM4676 and loads it into the GUI.

d. If you want to change the output voltage to a different 

value, like 1.5V. In the Config tab, type in 1.5 in the 

VOUT_COMMAND box, like this:

  Then, click the “W” (PC to RAM) icon to write these 

register values to the LTM4676. After finishing this step, 

you will see the output voltage will change to 1.5V.

  If the write is successful, you will see the following 

message:

e. You can save the changes into the NVM. In the tool bar, 

click “RAM to NVM” button, as following

f. Save the demo board configuration to a (*.proj) file. Click 

the Save icon and save the file. Name it whatever you want.
