Demonstration circuit DC500 is a constant-frequency step-down converter, using the various versions (fixed output/adjustable output/Burst Mode/Burst Mode defeated) of the LTC3406 or LTC3406B monolithic synchronous buck regulators. The DC500 has an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, and is capable of delivering up to 600 mA of output current at minimum input voltage of 3V. The DC500A-A features the adjustable output, Burst Mode-capable LTC3406 with the output voltage set to 1.2V.

Demonstration circuit 501 is high power, high voltage, and high efficiency DC/DC buck converter featuring the LTC3703. This is a general-purpose high voltage DC to DC with an input voltage range of 20V to 72V. The board is optimized for positive 48V input operation with high voltage surges up to 72VDC allowed. The limiting factor is the LTC3703 GN16 package that will not meet UL/CSA/IEC60950 clearance and creepage distance requirements above the SELV 60VDC maximum due to pin spacing. If the user wishes to support higher continuous input voltages or compliance to 60950, the LTC3703 is offered in a G-28 pin package. See Data Sheet. However, for the purposes of evaluation, the board will work reliably up to 72V. The maximum continuous current in free air is 4A. 6A is permissible with some forced air cooling. The output voltage is programmed with a voltage divider and configured for 12V.

Demonstration circuit 516A-A is a low output voltage, synchronous boost converter featuring the LTC3423. The LTC3423 is ideal for applications that require an output voltage between 1.5V to 2.6V from a single alkaline or NiCd/NiMH cell. A bias voltage (VDD) of 2.7V to 5.5V is required to power the internal circuitry. The input voltage (VIN) range is 1V to 1.6V, but once up and running, the device can operate with an input voltage as low as 0.5V. The output voltage is set at 1.8V. For a 1V minimum battery voltage, the LTC3423 can provide 350mA.

The DC539B demo board is used to evaluate the LTC5509, RF power detector with integrated output buffer and voltage reference. The LTC5509 converts an RF input signal at pin 6 (RF) to a DC voltage at pin 3 (VOUT). The RF input frequency range is 300 MHz to 3000 MHz. Maximum input power is 8 dBm. The output voltage at VOUT will start at an initial DC value of typically 250mV. When the RF signal is applied the output voltage will increase.

The LTC6910 family are low noise digitally programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs) that are easy to use and occupy very little PC board space. The inverting gain is adjustable using a 3-bit digital input to select gains of 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100V/V in the LTC6910-1; 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64V/V in the LTC6910-2; and 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 and 7V/V in the LTC6910-3.The LTC6910-Xs are inverting amplifiers with rail-to-rail output. When operated with unity gain, they will also process rail-to-rail input signals. A half-supply reference generated internally at the AGND pin supports single power supply applications. Operating from single or split supplies from 2.7V to 10.5V, the LTC6910-X family is offered in an 8-lead SOT-23 package.Applications Data Acquisition Systems Dynamic Gain Changing Automatic Ranging Circuits Automatic Gain Control

The LTC2414/LTC2418 are 8-/16-channel (4-/8-differential) micropower 24-bit ?? analog-to-digital converters.
