The LT5554 is a 7-bit digitally controlled programmable gain (PG) amplifier with 16dB gain control range. It consists of a 50? input variable attenuator, followed by a high linearity variable transconductance amplifier. The coarse 4dB input attenuator step is implemented via 2-bits of digital control (PG5, PG6). The ?ne transconductance amplifier 0.125dB step within 3.875dB gain control range is set via 5-bits digital control (PG0 to PG4). The LT5554 gain control inputs (PGx) and the STROBE input can be directly coupled to TTL or ECL drivers. The seven parallel gain control inputs time skew can be eliminated by using the STROBE input positive transition.The internal output resistor RO = 400? limits the maximum overall gain to 36dB for open outputs. The internal circuitry of open output collectors enables the LT5554 to be unconditionally stable over any loading conditions (including external SAW ?lters) and provides ?80dB reverse isolation at 300MHz.The LT5554 is internally protected during overdrive and has an on-chip power supply regulator.With 0.125dB step resolution and 5ns settling time, the LT5554 is suitable in applications where continuous gain control is required.Applications Differential ADC Driver IF Sampling Receivers VGA IF Power Ampli?er 50?

DC1171A-B: Demo Board for the LTC3851 Synchronous Step-Down Switching Regulator Controller

The LT5568-2 is a direct I/Q modulator designed for high performance wireless applications, including wireless infrastructure. It allows direct modulation of an RF signal using differential baseband I and Q signals. It supports GSM, EDGE, CDMA, CDMA2000 and other systems that operate in the 850MHz to 965MHz band. It may be configured as an image reject upconverting mixer, by applying 90? phase-shifted signals to the I and Q inputs. The I/Q baseband inputs consist of voltage-to-current converters that in turn drive double-balanced mixers. The outputs of these mixers are summed and applied to an on-chip RF transformer, which converts the differential mixer signals to a 50? single-ended output. The four balanced I and Q baseband input ports are intended for DC coupling from a source with a common mode voltage level of about 0.5V. The LO path consists of an LO buffer with single-ended input, and precision quadrature generators that produce the LO drive for the mixers. The supply voltage range is 4.5V to 5.25V.Applications Infrastructure Tx for GSM/Cellular Bands Image Reject Up-Converters for Cellular Bands Low-Noise Variable Phase-Shifter for 700MHz to 1050MHz Local Oscillator Signals RFID Reader

Demonstration circuit 1185 is a dual phase/dual output synchronous buck converter featuring the LTC3850EUF. The demo board comes in two versions. The output voltages for version -A are 2.0V/10A and 1.8V/10A and the output voltages for version -B are 1.5V/15A and 1.2V/15A. The input voltage range is 6.5V to 14V for both versions. For applications that have a 5V ±0.5V input, the board has an optional resistor to tie the INTVCC pin to the VIN pin.

Demonstration circuit 1219A-A, A-B, A-C and A-D are micropower low noise boost converters with output disconnect featuring the four different LT3495 versions: LT3495 (0.65A switch current, switching frequency above audible range), LT3495B (0.65A switch current), LT3495-1 (0.35 switch current, switching frequency above audible range) and LT3495B-1 (0.35A switch current). All versions convert a 3V-6V source to 15V. The A-A and A-B versions supply 75mA at 3VIN, while the A-C and A-D supply 36mA.  All versions feature a low noise control scheme, integrated output disconnect function, dimming control and a single output sense resistor.

Demonstration circuit 1225 is high efficiency nonisolated SEPIC (Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter) converter featuring the LTC1871-1 switching controller. The DC1225 converts 5V to 20V input to 12V output and provides over 3A of output current. The converter operates at 300kHz with efficiency over 94%. With proper amount of airflow, the DC1225 converter can generate over 3A of output current. The DC1225 can be easily modified to generate output voltages in the range from 1.23V to 48V. Also, the DC1225 can be modified for other input voltages like 5V-36V, 9V-36V, 36V-72V, and so on. The wider input voltage range will decrease the converter efficiency.

Demonstration circuit 1237A-A (LTC3527) and 1237A-B (LTC3527-1) are dual output, high-efficiency synchronous boost converter demo boards with each having an 800mA and a 400mA power switch. With a light load, the boost converters can startup with an input voltage as low as 700mV and once started, the input can go as low as 500mV while maintaining a regulated output voltage. Jumpers set the output voltages to one of three options for each output: 3V, 3.3V or 5V for VOUT1, and 1.8V, 2.85V or 3.3V for VOUT2. The devices can provide 200mA at 3.3V from a 1.5V input. The LTC3527-1 actively discharges VOUT1 or VOUT2 when the respective SHDN pin goes low.

The LTC6420-20 is a dual high-speed differential amplifier targeted at processing signals from DC to 300MHz.

The output common mode voltage is set using an external pin, independent of the inputs, which eliminates the need for transformers or AC-coupling capacitors in many applications. The gain is internally fixed at 20dB (10V/V).The LTC6420-20 saves space and power compared to alternative solutions using IF gain blocks and transformers. The LTC6420-20 is packaged in a compact 20-lead 3mm ? 4mm QFN package and operates over the ?40?C to 85?C temperature range.Applications Differential ADC Driver Single Ended to Differential Conversion IF Sampling (Diversity) Receivers Broadband I/Q Amplifiers Satellite Communications
