Card power chip meets smart and SIM standards
The LTC4557 is a dual SIM/smart-card power supply and level translator, which provides both 1.8 and 3V SIM power and digital signal level shifting from a 3 x 3mm QFN package.
RF mixers take transformers onboard
Linear Technology has released two new high linearity up-converting RF active mixers with integrated RF transformers.
It has a 3.2A internal switch that can deliver up to 2A of continuous output current to voltages as low as 0.79V.
Switching frequency is user-programmable from 200 to 500kHz, optimising efficiency and keeping external components small.
The combination of the 3 x 3mm DFN-10 package (or thermally enhanced MSOP-10E) and tiny externals provide a very compact, thermally efficient footprint.
The LT1912 uses a high-efficiency 3.2A, 0.25ohm switch, with the necessary boost diode, oscillator, control and logic circuitry integrated on-chip.
Special design techniques and a new high voltage process enable high efficiency over a wide input voltage range, and the LT1912's current mode topology enables fast transient response and excellent loop stability.
Other features include external synchronisation (from 250 to 500kHz), a power good flag and soft-start capability.
The LT1912EDD and LT1912EMSE are priced starting at US $2.95 and $3.05 each, respectively, for 1000-piece quantities.
The LT1912IDD and LT1912IMSE, tested and guaranteed to operate from a -40 to +125C operating junction temperature, are priced at US $3.54 and $3.66 each, respectively in 1000-piece quantities.
