Triple output converter from Linear Technology
Linear Technology has announced the LTC3100, a triple output converter which includes a 700mA (ISW) synchronous boost regulator, a 250mA (IOUT) synchronous buck regulator and a 100mA (IOUT) LDO in a 3mm x 3mm QFN-16 package. Both the boost and the buck regulators switch at 1.5MHz and use current mode, synchronous topologies.
Battery Stack Fault Monitor Provides Independent Supervision of High Voltage Li-Ion Strings
Linear Technology announces the LTC6801, a high voltage battery stack fault monitor that operates without a microprocessor, and without the need for optocouplers or isolators. An LTC6801 can monitor up to 12 series-connected battery cells for overvoltage and undervoltage conditions. Multiple LTC6801 devices can be daisy chained, providing a method to monitor each individual cell in very long battery strings. When connected in a daisy-chain, a sin...
1A VLDO Outputs Down to 0.2V from 0.9V Input
Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3022, a 1A very low dropout linear regulator (VLDO™), featuring input voltage capability down to 0.9V and adjustable output voltage down to 0.2V. The LT3022's low VIN capability, coupled with the device's low dropout (145mV typical at full load), make it ideal for low-voltage, high current rails in digital ICs such as FPGAs, ASICs, DSPs, microprocessors and microcontrollers. It also has applications...
