LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows based development
environment that supports Linear Technology power sys-
tem management ICs, including the LTM4675, LTM4676,
LTC3880, LTC3882, LTC3883, 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 pres-
ent) 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 DC1613A and DC2086A USB-
to-SMBus controller to communicate with one of many
potential targets, including the LTM4676, the LTC3880,
LTC3882 and the LTC3883’s 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:
