This application note highlights “power” circuits from issue VI:1 (February 1996) through issue VIII:4 (November 1998).
Application Note 84 serves as a collection of useful power circuits excerpted from Linear Technology magazine. It covers a wide range of topics including server power supplies, micro-power systems for portable equipment, and various converter topologies such as charge pumps and linear regulators with specific attention to Li-Ion batteries.
The document is organized into several sections detailing specific integrated circuit applications. These include switching buck converters, boost converters, buck-boost configurations, flyback controllers, low noise regulators, multi-output supplies, micropower solutions, linear regulators, battery chargers for various chemistries, and power management controllers.
The maximum input voltage rating is 28V.
The supply delivers 3A at 5V and 250mA at 12V.
The supply features a 200mV dropout.
