Analog Devices

The LTC1266 series is a family of synchronous switching regulator controllers featuring automatic Burst Mode™operation to maintain high efficiencies at low output currents. These devices drive external power MOSFETs at switching frequencies up to 400kHz using a constant off-time current mode architecture providing constant ripple current in the inductor. They can drive either an N-channel or a P-channel topside MOSFET.The operating current level is user-programmable via an external current sense resistor. Wide input supply range allows operation from 3.5V to 18V (20V maximum). Constant off-time architecture provides low dropout regulation limited only by the RDS(ON)of the topside MOSFET (when using the P-channel) and the resistance of the inductor and current sense resistor.The LTC1266 series combines synchronous switching for maximum efficiency at high currents with an automatic low current operating mode, called Burst Mode operation, which reduces switching losses. Standby power is reduced to only 1mW at VIN= 5V (at IOUT= 0). Load currents in Burst Mode operation are typically 0mA to 500mA.ApplicationsNotebook and Palmtop ComputersPortable InstrumentsCellular TelephonesDC Power Distribution SystemsGPS Systems

The LTC1274/LTC1277 are 8µs sampling 12-bit A/D converters which draw only 2mA (typ) from single 5V or ±5V supplies. These easy-to-use devices come complete with a 2µs sample-and-hold, a precision reference and an internally trimmed clock. Unipolar and bipolar conversion modes add to the flexibility of the ADCs.Two power-down modes are available in the LTC1277. In Napmode, the LTC1277 draws only 180µA and the instant wake-up from Nap mode allows the LTC1277 to be powered down even during brief inactive periods. In Sleep mode only 1µA will be drawn. A REFRDY signal is used to show the ADC is ready to sample after waking up from Sleep mode. The LTC1274 also provides the Sleep mode and REFRDY signal.The A/D converters convert 0V to 4.096V unipolar inputs from a single 5V supply or ±2.048V bipolar inputs from ±5V supplies.The LTC1274 has a single-ended input and a 12-bit parallel data format.
