Electromagnetic interference can emanate from high di/dt loops found in some switch-mode supply topologies. New controllers overcome these difficulties by integrating key components inside the chip package. Tony Armstrong | Power by Linear, Analog Devices Inc. It goes without saying that PCB layout sets functional, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and thermal behavior of every power supply […]

Buck-boost controller targets 12-V/12-V redundant battery systems in autonomous vehicles
The Power by Linear LT8708/-1 is a 98% efficient bidirectional buck-boost switching regulator controller that operates between two batteries that have the same voltage, as are used for redundancy in self-driving cars. The LT8708/-1 operates from an input voltage that can be above, below or equal to the output voltage, making it well suited for […]

Boost regulator delivers wide input and output range and tiny footprint to optical modules
Analog Devices, Inc. announced the Power by Linear LTM4661, a low power step-up µModule regulator in a 6.25mm x 6.25mm x 2.42mm BGA package. Only a few capacitors and one resistor are required to complete the design, and the solution occupies less than 1cm² single-sided or 0.5cm² on double-sided PCBs. The LTM4661 incorporates a switching DC/DC controller, […]
Quad-output 42-V converter operates from 3 to 42-V inputs
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LT8603, a 42V input capable, high efficiency quad output monolithic switching regulator. Its flexible design combines a boost controller with two high voltage 2.5A and 1.5A synchronous step-down channels and a lower voltage 1.8A synchronous step-down channel to provide four independent outputs. The LT8603 can be configured with the […]
Bidirectional current DAC adjusts output voltage of virtually any dc/dc regulator
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC7106, a PMBus I2C controlled precision bidirectional current DAC designed to adjust the output voltage of virtually any DC/DC regulator. Through its PMBus compatible interface, the LTC7106 receives a 7-bit serial code and converts it to a bidirectional (source, sink) output current. When the current is fed into the […]
Hot swappable supercapacitor backup power controller provides uninterrupted power
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC3351, a supercapacitor charger and backup power controller IC that includes hot-swap front-end protection and all the features necessary to provide a complete, standalone capacitor-based backup power solution. The LTC3351’s integrated hot swap controller and circuit breaker use N-channel MOSFETS to provide a low loss power path from the […]
