This datasheet provides detailed information on Linear Technology's high precision, high speed, low noise differential amplifiers/ADC drivers.

The LTM9004 and LTM9005 are highly integrated RF-to-digital receivers that combine direct conversion and IF sampling architectures with integrated RF, signal filtering, gain stages and high-speed ADCs for more compact, low power designs and dramatically faster time-to-market.

The LTC®3880 is a power system manager featuring a dual output synchronous step-down DC/DC controller with digital telemetry and is fully programmable via an I2C-based PMBus compliant serial interface. This device combines an onboard EEPROM, best in class analog switching regulator performance with precision mixed signal data conversion for ease of power system design.

Linear Technology's silicon oscillators offer advantages over traditional crystal-based clocks in systems subject to shock, vibration, acceleration, or temperature extremes. They are made using standard silicon fabrication and assembly techniques, eliminating the need for crystals, timing capacitors, and long lead times. With fast start-up, low power consumption, small size, and on-the-fly frequency programmability, they are suitable for almost any application.

This document introduces the use of Linear Technology data converters and other mixed signal solutions with the Freescale Tower System. The system features an easy-to-use plug-in analog module that can be controlled by any Freescale Tower processor module with an SPI interface. The QuikEval™ interface on the analog module allows connection of more than 130 Linear Technology evaluation boards for a broad range of applications. The module includes features such as digital-to-analog converters (DACs), analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), voltage regulator, voltage reference, and more.

This datasheet introduces the LTC2256-14/12 family of 14/12-bit, 25Msps to 150Msps ADCs. The family features a single 1.8V supply, flexible digital interface (CMOS, DDR CMOS, or DDR LVDS), selectable input ranges (1VP-P to 2VP-P), 800MHz full-power bandwidth S/H, optional data output randomizer, alternate bit polarity mode, optional clock duty cycle stabilizer, shutdown and nap modes, and serial SPI port for configuration.

The LTC®3833 is a high step-down DC/DC buck controller that operates up to 2MHz and provides a tightly regulated output. It is ideal for automotive applications where high switching frequencies are required to prevent interference to noise-sensitive circuitry.

The LTC®4000 is a high voltage controller and power manager which, when paired with a DC/DC converter, becomes a full-featured battery charger solution. The LTC4000 is capable of driving virtually any topology, including buck, boost, buck-boost, SEPIC and flyback converters. Its intelligent PowerPath manager provides power to the system load when input power is available, enabling instant-on operation even with a deeply discharged battery. A full-featured controller, the LTC4000 can charge a variety of battery types including lithium, nickel and lead acid-based chemistries. Highly accurate charge current and float voltage, as well as onboard termination, ensure safe and accurate charging.

The LTC®4071 is an easy-to-use, tiny shunt battery system for Li-Ion/Polymer batteries, which integrates a charger and battery pack protection in one IC. The LTC4071, with its 550nA operating current, charges and protects batteries at up to 50mA from previously unusable very low current, intermittent or continuous charging sources. A near zero current (<0.1nA) low battery latching disconnect function protects even low capacity batteries from deep discharge and potentially irreparable damage. Housed in a low profile (0.75mm) 8-lead 2mm × 3mm DFN package, the LTC4071 provides the only complete and ultracompact battery charger and protection solution operating with low level power sources such as energy scavenging/ harvesting, resistive isolation or solar-powered systems. It can charge Li-Ion/Polymer, coin cell and thin film batteries.

Our new ultralow noise, integer-N frequency synthesizers provide best-in-class phase noise and spurious performance. The LTC®6946 is a complete frequency synthesizer that includes a high performance, low noise, 5.7GHz phase-locked loop (PLL) with a fully integrated, low phase noise VCO. The LTC6945 separates the low 1/f corner PLL core for use with an external VCO up to 6GHz. The free, easy-to-use PLLWizard™ CAD tool quickly and accurately simulates synthesizer performance to ensure an optimal design.

The LTC5569 is a low power dual mixer from Linear Technology, with a frequency range of 300MHz to 4GHz, IIP3 of 26.8dBm, gain of 2dB, NF/5dBm Blocking of 11.7/17.0dB and a power supply voltage of 3.3V/182mA.

The LT4363 and LT4366 are high voltage surge stoppers with adjustable voltage threshold, which can be used in harsh industrial, automotive and avionic environments
