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 channel select pin determines which channel is open for communication, and separate enable pins allow both cards to be powered at once and provide fast transition from one channel to the other.
The LTC4558 can withstand more than 10kV ESD on all the SIM contact pins and is designed to meet all ETSI, EMV and ISO7816 SIM/smart card approval requirements.
Its tiny 20-lead QFN package has only a 0.75mm profile, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
The LTC4558 contains an LDO regulator to supply SIM power at either 1.8 or 3V from a 2.7-5.5V input.
The SIM/smart card voltages are selected via a single pin per channel, and up to 50mA of load current may be delivered.
Patented dynamic pull-ups deliver fast rise times.
Internal level translators accommodate a wide input range for controllers operating with supply voltages from 1.4 to 5.5V to interface with 1.8 or 3V SIM cards.
A very low operating current of 65uA (below 1uA in shut down) ensures optimal battery run time.
The combination of a very small solution footprint and low supply current make the LTC4558 ideal for battery-powered wireless applications.
LTC4558EUD is available from stock in a 20-lead 3 x 3mm QFN package.
