This document introduces the LT1616 600mA, 1.4MHz step-down switching regulator, which uses an internal 0.6A power switch and is packaged in a tiny 6-lead SOT-23. The wide input range of 3.6V to 25V makes the LT1616 suitable for regulating a wide variety of power sources, from 4-cell batteries and 5V logic rails to unregulated wall transformers and lead-acid batteries. Its high operating frequency allows the use of tiny, low cost inductors and ceramic capacitors. With its internal compensation eliminating additional components, a complete 400mA step-down regulator fits onto 0.15 square inches of PC board area. The constant frequency current mode PWM architecture and stable operation with ceramic capacitors results in low, predictable output ripple. Current limiting provides protection against shorted outputs. The low current (<1µA) shutdown provides complete output disconnect, enabling easy power management in battery-powered systems.

The LTC3714 is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller for CPU power. An output voltage between 0.6V and 1.75V is selected by a 5-bit code (Intel mobile VID specification). The controller uses a constant on-time, valley current control architecture to deliver very low duty cycles without requiring a sense resistor.

It also features good protection in short circuit conditions.

The LTC1594/LTC1598 are micropower, 12-bit sampling A/D converters that feature 4- and 8-channel multiplexers, respectively. They typically draw only 320µA of supply current when converting and automatically power down to a typical supply current of 1nA between conversions. The LTC1594 is available in a 16-pin SO package and the LTC1598 is packaged in a 24-pin SSOP. Both operate on a 5V supply. The 12-bit, switched-capacitor, successive approximation ADCs include a sample-and-hold. On-chip serial ports allow efficient data transfer to a wide range of microprocessors and microcontrollers over three or four wires. This, coupled with micropower consumption, makes remote location possible and facilitates transmitting data through isolation barriers. The circuit can be used in ratiometric applications or with an external reference. The high impedance analog inputs and the ability to operate with reduced spans (to 1.5V full scale) allow direct connection to sensors and transducers in many applications, eliminating the need for gain stages.

The LTC ®2436-1 is a 2-channel differential input micropower 16-bit No Latency ∆Σ TM analog-to-digital converter with an integrated oscillator. It provides 0.5 LSB INL and 800 nV RMS noise independent of VREF. The two differential channels convert alternately with a channel identification included in the conversion result. It uses delta-sigma technology and provides single conversion settling of the digital filter. Through a single pin, the LTC2436-1 can be configured for better than 87dB input differential mode rejection at 50Hz and 60Hz ±2%, or it can be driven by an external oscillator for a user defined rejection frequency. The internal oscillator requires no external frequency setting components. The converter accepts any external differential reference voltage from 0.1V to VCC for flexible ratiometric and remote sensing measurement configurations. The full-scale differential input range is from –0.5 •␣VREF to 0.5 • VREF. The reference common mode voltage, VREFCM, and the input common mode voltage, VINCM, may be independently set anywhere between GND and VCC. The DC common mode input rejection is better than 140dB. The LTC2436-1 communicates through a flexible 3-wire digital interface which is compatible with SPI and MICROWIRE TM protocols.

The LTC ®3780 is a high performance buck-boost switch- ing regulator controller that operates from input voltages above, below or equal to the output voltage. The constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase- lockable frequency of up to 400kHz.

The LTC3778 is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller for computer memory, automobile and other DC/DC power supplies. The controller uses a valley current control architecture to deliver very low duty cycles without requiring a sense resistor. Operating frequency is selected by an external resistor and is compensated for variations in VIN and VOUT. Discontinuous mode operation provides high efficiency operation at light loads. A forced continuous control pin reduces noise and RF interference, and can assist secondary winding regulation when the main output is lightly loaded. SENSE+ and SENSE– pins provide true Kelvin sensing across the optional sense resistor or the sychronous MOSFET. Fault protection includes overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection.

The LTC1530 contains a precision trimmed reference and feedback system that provides worst-case output voltage regulation of ±2% over temperature, load current and line voltage shifts. Current limit circuitry senses the output current through the on-resistance of the topside N-channel MOSFET, providing an adjustable current limit without requiring an external low value sense resistor. The LTC1530 includes a fixed frequency PWM oscillator that free runs at 300kHz, providing greater than 90% efficiency in converter designs from 1A to 20A of output current. Shutdown mode drops the LTC1530 supply current to 45µA. The LTC1530 is specified for commercial and industrial temperature ranges and is available in the S0-8 package.
