Evaluating the LT3074

See projects/lt3074 (doxygen) for the Doxygen documentation.

The EVAL-LT3074-AZ evaluation board features the LT3074, a 3A, ultralow noise, high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR), 45mV dropout ultrafast linear regulator with PMBus capability. The evaluation board allows the LT3074 to be configured without the use of external components.

Full performance details are provided in the LT3074 data sheet, which should be consulted in conjunction with user guide.

No-OS Build Setup

Please see: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/no-os/build

No-OS Supported Examples

The initialization data used in the examples is taken out from: Project Common Data Path

The macros used in Common Data are defined in platform specific files found in: Project Platform Configuration Path

Basic example

This is a simple example that initializes the LT3074, sets the output margin and a warning limit, and performs telemetry.

In order to build the basic example:

make EXAMPLE=basic

IIO example

This project is actually a IIOD demo for EVAL-LT3074 evaluation board. The project launches a IIOD server on the board so that the user may connect to it via an IIO client. Using IIO-Oscilloscope, the user can configure the IMU and view the measured data on a plot.

If you are not familiar with ADI IIO Application, please take a look at: IIO No-OS

If you are not familiar with ADI IIO-Oscilloscope Client, please take a look at: IIO Oscilloscope

The No-OS IIO Application together with the No-OS IIO LT3074 driver take care of all the back-end logic needed to setup the IIO server.

This example initializes the IIO device and calls the IIO app as shown in: IIO Example

In order to build the IIO project:

make EXAMPLE=iio_example
