Compact synchronous silent switcher provides 5 V, 10 A
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC3310S, a 5V, 10A low EMI monolithic synchronous buck converter. The device’s fixed frequency peak current mode architecture is ideal for high step-down ratio applications that demand fast transient response. The LTC3310S uses the Silent Switcher 2 architecture with integrated hot loop bypass capacitors to deliver a highly efficient, small footprint […]
Nonsynchronous boost controller that drives two MOSFET stages
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC7840, a 2-phase nonsynchronous boost controller that drives two stages of external N-channel power MOSFETs. It is configurable as single or dual output boost regulator or for higher voltages, the output of the first channel can feed the input of second channel allowing an output voltage which exceeds several […]
Super-low-voltage supervisors feature ±0.5% reset threshold accuracy for ASIC, FPGA, DSP, MCU, MPU architectures
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC2962-LTC2964 family of highly accurate 4-channel voltage supervisors for increased system voltage margin and enhanced reliability. ASIC, FPGA, DSP, MCU and MPU architectures that operate from supplies as low as 1V cannot utilize traditional 1%-2% accurate voltage supervisors without shedding valuable system voltage margin and shrinking the remaining load […]
Step-down ultrathin regulator module handles ASIC, FPGA loads
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTM4686, a dual 10A or single 20A ultrathin step-down µModule regulator with a PMBus interface housed in a 16mm x 11.9mm x 1.82mm LGA package. The 1.82mm package height allows the LTM4686 to be placed on a PC board very close to its load such as an FPGA or […]
Are power systems up to the task of running self-driving cars?
Automotive electronics depends on power supplies that can handle abuse like load dumps. New ICs are optimized for these extreme environments and can meet stringent vehicle safety standards. Tony Armstrong, Analog Devices Inc. THE auto industry expects a transition to autonomous vehicles via both an evolutionary path, where existing cars get there little by little […]

Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear ADP5138, automotive qualified, high efficiency, 3.2MHz synchronous quad output buck regulators, incorporating a unique fixed frequency, peak current mode, PWM control architecture that reduces conducted and radiated emissions. The device’s high efficiency buck regulators improve thermal management, operate down to 0.8V outputs and deliver up to 1A of continuous output […]
High-efficiency surge stopper protects against 150-V transients
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTC7862, a high efficiency switching surge stopper with overvoltage and overcurrent protection for high availability systems. The LTC7862 drives an N-channel power MOSFET stage. During normal operation the LTC7862 passes the input voltage through to the output with minimal conduction loss. When an input overvoltage condition occurs, the LTC7862 starts […]
Programmable super sequencer handles up to 17 power supplies
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear™ ADM1266 Super Sequencer®, a highly programmable device for monitoring, sequencing, and margining up to 17 power supplies. For larger rail counts, a proprietary 2-wire interdevice bus synchronizes the operation of 16 ADM1266s. A built-in sequencing engine monitors each supply fault detector, general purpose inputs/outputs, and timers to turn the supplies on […]
