Linear Technology Unveils LTC1629-6 DC/DC Converter
May 21, 2002 by Jeff Shepard
Linear Technology Inc. (Milpitas, CA) announced its new LTC1629-6 dc/dc converter, also called a synchronous step-down controller, with a 0.6V reference that drives two output stages out of phase at frequencies up to 300kHz. The new converter is designed to power the latest generation of high-current, sub-1V ICs such as network processors and graphic chips.
The device's output clock signal allows the use of up to 12 evenly phased controllers for systems requiring 15A to 200A of output load current. It operates from a 4V to 36V input and drives n-channel external MOSFET stages in a phase-lockable, fixed-frequency architecture.
Available in a 28-lead SSOP for operation from -40 to +85 degrees C, pricing starts at $5.95 each for 1,000.
