Linear launches triple output converter
Linear Technology has revealed the LTC3100, a triple output converter that includes a 700mA (ISW) synchronous boost regulator, a 250mA (IOUT) synchronous buck regulator and a 100mA (IOUT) LDO.
Linear releases dual DC/DC regulator system
Linear Technology has introduced the LTM4616, a dual DC/DC umodule regulator system in a tiny surface mount package.
A complete solution requires only two discrete components (input capacitor and a charge current program resistor) and fits into a 2.5 x 2.7 x 0.75mm form factor.
Applications include digital still cameras, portable point-of-sale and diagnostic equipment, cellphones, PDAs and USB-equipped handheld devices.
The LTC4065/A requires no external MOSFET, sense resistor or blocking diode.
A patented thermal regulation scheme prevents the junction temperature of the IC from exceeding 115C by reducing charge current during high power or high ambient temperature operation.
Other features of the LTC4065/A include a charge current monitor output for charge termination, a 4.2V 0.5% accurate float voltage, and 5% charge accuracy.
Charge current is adjustable with a standard off-the-shelf resistor.
The device is designed to work with supplies up to 5.5V, including those within USB specifications and from 5V wall adapters.
During shutdown, the supply current is only 30uA and battery drain current is less than 1uA.
The LTC4065A features an open drain AC Present status to indicate the presence of an input supply such as a wall adapter.
The LTC4065EDC and LTC4065AEDC are rated for operation from -40 to 85C.
Pricing starts at $1.40 and $1.55 each in 1000-piece quantities. Request a free brochure from Linear Technology Corp ...
