LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows-based development

environment that supports Linear Technology Power

System Management ICs with EEPROM, including the

LTM2987 16-channel PMBus Power System Manager.

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 multi-chip 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.LTpowerPlayutilizestheDC1613I2C/SMBus/PMBus

Controller to communicate with one of many potential tar-

gets, including the DC2023A 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
