| 2010-10-15 | Using LTpowerPlay to Manage the LTC2978 |
| This demonstration video showcases our LTpowerPlay software tool controlling a system of 32 power rails using the LTC2978 octal power supply supervisor/ monitor/sequencer with unmatched. These features combined with our easy to use GUI, assist the power supply designer in defining and implementing complex power management schemes in a fraction of the time previously possible. | |

| 2011-01-04 | Description of the LTpowerPlay™ - Calculated Configuration CRC Algorithm |
| DRAFT | This document describes the algorithm that LTpowerPlay™ GUI uses to compute a special kind of configuration CRC that can be stored in the non-volatile memory (NVM) of the part. This CRC can optionally be used to identify a configuration. The full algorithm is provided in this document so that a third party can read all the configuration registers from the part and produce the same CRC for a more complete consistency check in applications where this is important. |
