APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

LTpowerPlay: AN INTERACTIVE GUI FOR DIGITAL

POWER SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

LTpowerPlay is a powerful Windows-based development

environment that supports Analog Devices, digital power

ICs including the LTM4686B. The software supports a

variety of different tasks. LTpowerPlay can be used to

evaluate Analog Devices, ICs by connecting to a demo

board or the user application. LTpowerPlay can also be

used in an offline mode (with no hardware present) in

order to build multiple IC configuration files that can be

saved and reloaded at a later time. LTpowerPlay pro-

vides unprecedented diagnostic and debug features. It

becomes a valuable diagnostic tool during board bring-up

to program or tweak the power system or to diagnose

power issues when bringing up rails. LTpowerPlay utilizes

Analog Devices, USB-to-I2C/SMBus/PMBus controller to

communication with one of the many potential targets

including the DC3089 (single LTM4686B), DC1811 (single

LTM4676A) or DC1989B (dual, triple, quad LTM4676A)

demo boards, or a customer target system. The software

also provides an automatic update feature to keep the

revisions current with the latest set of device drivers and

documentation. A great deal of context sensitive help is

available with LTpowerPlay along with several tutorial

demos.
