Digital PSM devices help simplify and accelerate power system characterisation

Analog Devices Digital Power System Management (PSM) devices assist designers to simplify and accelerate power system characterisation, optimisation, and data mining during prototyping, deployment and field operation. Using the PSM devices allow designers to add digital PMBus/SMBus/I²C-interface based control, telemetry, and black-box fault recording to analog DC-DC power converters. LTpowerPlay, the company's engineering-level development environment for PSM devices, controls and monitors the power-supply voltage, current, power and energy use, margining, sequencing, and black box-fault log data. This industry-leading development software with a GUI is proven to support up to 256 voltage rails.
