LTpowerPlay SOFTWARE GUI
LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows based development
environment that supports Linear Technology power sys-
tem management ICs, including the LTC3880, LTC3883,
LTC3882, LTC2974 and LTC2978. 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 mul-
tichip 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
DC1613A USB-to-SMBus controller to communicate with
one of many potential targets, including the LTC3882’s
DC1936A 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
