The LT3508 is a dual current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with internal power switches capable of generating two 1.4A outputs.

LTC2915/LTC2916 are low voltage single-supply monitors with selectable thresholds. The parts operate from 1.5V to 5.5V and consume a quiescent current of only 30μA. Two three-state inputs select one of nine internally programmed thresholds without the need for external resistors. For the LTC2915, an additional three-state input determines the tolerance (-5%, -10%, -15%). The tolerance for the LTC2916 is fixed at -5%. Threshold accuracy is guaranteed at ±1.5% over the entire operating temperature range. Glitch filtering ensures reliable reset operation without false triggering. The reset timeout may be set to 200ms or adjusted using an external capacitor. A separate manual reset input on the LTC2916 allows a simple push button interface. Operation to 125°C makes the LTC2915 and LTC2916 suitable for automotive applications.

This datasheet provides information on the features of the LTC4090/LTC4090-5 USB power managers, including a 2A high voltage Bat-Track buck regulator, programmable total charge time, and an NTC thermistor input.

The LT1220 is a high gain, high bandwidth, high precision, single-stage operational amplifier with low input bias current, low input offset voltage, high output swing, and fast settling time. It can be used in high-precision measurement, data acquisition, buffer, cable driver and other fields.

The LT1166 is a bias generating system for controlling class AB output current in high powered amplifiers.

The LTC3035 is a micropower, VLDO™ (very low drop-out) linear regulator which operates from input voltages as low as 1.7V. The device is capable of supplying 300mA of output current with a typical dropout voltage of only 45mV. To allow operation at low input voltages the LTC3035 includes a charge pump generator that provides the necessary bias voltage for the internal LDO circuitry. Output current comes directly from the input supply for high efficiency regulation. The charge pump bias generator requires only a 0.1µF flying capacitor and a 1µF bypass capacitor for operation. The low 0.4V internal reference voltage allows the LTC3035 to be programmed to much lower output voltages than commonly available in LDOs. The output voltage is programmed via two tiny SMD resistors. The LTC3035’s low quiescent current makes it an ideal choice for use in battery-powered systems. Other features include high output voltage.

The LT3742 is a dual step-down DC/DC switching regulator controller from Texas Instruments. The device operates at a frequency of 500kHz and has an input voltage range of 4V to 30V. The output voltage range is 0.8V to VIN. The device uses a 2-phase antiphase output architecture to reduce output voltage ripple and minimize interference with the input supply, reducing the need for input capacitance. The device also integrates a 0.8V voltage reference and a 500kHz current mode control loop, which can provide bias power for N-channel MOSFETs and support low dropout and 100% duty cycle operation. The device also has a built-in soft-start function. The device is available in a 4mm×4mm QFN package and has a very low power consumption of only 20μA in standby mode.

LT3500 is a monolithic 2A step-down regulator plus linear regulator/controller. It has a wide input range: 3V to 40V, which makes it suitable for a variety of power sources, including automotive batteries, 24V industrial supplies and unregulated wall adapters. The device also has resistor-programmable 250kHz to 2.2MHz frequency range and synchronization capability, which enable optimization between effi ciency and external component size. Cycle- by-cycle current limit, frequency foldback and thermal shutdown provide protection against a shorted output. Soft-start feature can control the ramp rate of the output voltage, eliminating input current surge during start-up, and also provides output tracking. LT3500 also contains an internal NPN transistor, which has feedback control and can be configured as a linear regulator or a linear regulator controller. LT3500's low current shutdown mode (<12μA) enables easy power management in battery-powered systems.

LTC1286/LTC1298 Micropower Sampling 12-Bit A/D Converters

The LTC6702 is an extremely small dual comparator designed by LTC to maximize battery life while providing both speed and low voltage operation in applications where board space is a premium. These comparators operate on supplies between 1.7V and 5.5V, and have a maximum guaranteed propagation delay of 500ns while drawing only 30μA maximum quiescent current. Internal hysteresis desensitizes the LTC6702 to input noise and makes it easy to use, even with slow mov- ing signals. CMOS inputs allow the use of large source impedances. The LTC6702 is available in the 8-pin SOT-23 and the tiny 2mm × 2mm DFN package.
