29 Description
30 -----------
31
32 LTC2974 is a quad digital power supply manager. LTC2978 is an octal power supply
33 monitor. LTC2977 is a pin compatible replacement for LTC2978. LTC3880 is a dual
34 output poly-phase step-down DC/DC controller. LTC3883 is a single phase
35 step-down DC/DC controller.

38 Usage Notes
39 -----------
40
41 This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
42 devices explicitly.
43
44 Example: the following commands will load the driver for an LTC2978 at address
45 0x60 on I2C bus #1:
46
47 # modprobe ltc2978
48 # echo ltc2978 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
