The LTC4218 is a Hot Swap?controller that allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. An internal high side switch driver controls the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET for supply voltages from 2.9V to 26.5V. A dedicated 12V version (LTC4218-12) contains preset 12V specific thresholds, while the standard LTC4218 allows adjustable thresholds.The LTC4218 provides an accurate (5%) current limit with current foldback limiting. The current limit threshold can be adjusted dynamically using an external pin. Additional features include a current monitor output that amplifies the sense voltage for ground referenced current sensing. Overvoltage, undervoltage and power good monitoring are also provided.Applications RAID Systems ATCA, AMC, ?TCA Systems Server I/O Cards Industrial

Demonstration circuits 1053A-E through 1053A-H exercise the LTC3526L family of high efficiency synchronous boost converters, and are capable of operating with an input voltage range from 0.8V to 5.5V. The 2 × 2 mm DFN thermally enhanced package, high switching frequency (1MHz or 2MHz) and 550mA internal power switches provide a very tiny solution. The LTC3526L family also features output disconnect, and the input voltage can be greater or less than the output voltage. DC1053A-E features the LTC3526L (Burst mode operation) and the DC1053A-F features the LTC3526LB (Burst mode defeated). Both have a 1MHz switching frequency and use a 4.7µH inductor.

Demonstration Circuit 1073 is a 100kHz-500kHz programmable frequency, high voltage, current-mode DC/DC step-down converter featuring the LT3845. The operating frequency can be synchronized up to 600kHz. The demo board is designed for 12V @ 6.25A (75W) output from a 20V to 55V input. A soft-start feature controls the output voltage slew rate at start-up, reducing current surges and voltage overshoots. The modes of operation (Burst Mode, Discontinuous Current Mode and Continuous Current Mode) are jumper selectable. Both Burst Mode and Discontinuous Current Mode increase the efficiency at light loads. Continuous Current Mode will maintain a constant switching frequency regardless of the load current.

The LTC2630 is a family of 12-, 10-, and 8-bit voltage output DACs with an integrated, high-accuracy, low-drift reference in a 6-lead SC70 package.

The LTC2630-H has a full-scale output of 4.096V, and operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V supply. Each DAC can also operate in supply as reference mode, which sets the full-scale output to the supply voltage.The parts use a simple SPI/MICROWIRE? compatible 3-wire serial interface which operates at clock rates up to 50MHz.The LTC2630 incorporates a power-on reset circuit. Options are available for reset to zero or reset to midscale after power-up.Applications Mobile Communications Process Control and Industrial Automation Automatic Test Equipment Portable Equipment Automotive

The absolute voltage swing for +AIN and ?AIN extends from ground to the supply voltage.The serial interface sends out the conversion results during the 16 clock cycles following CONV? for compatibility with standard serial interfaces. If two additional clock cycles for acquisition time are allowed after the data stream in between conversions, the full sampling rate of 2.8Msps can be achieved with a 50.4MHz clock.Applications Communications Data Acquisition Systems Uninterrupted Power Supplies Multiphase Motor Control Multiplexed Data Acquisition

The LT5538 is a 40MHz to 3800MHz monolithic logarithmic RF power detector, capable of measuring RF signals over a wide dynamic range, from ?75dBm to 10dBm. The RF signal in an equivalent decibel-scaled value is precisely converted into DC voltage on a linear scale. The wide linear dynamic range is achieved by measuring the RF signal using cascaded RF limiters and RF detectors. Their outputs are summed to generate an accurate linear DC voltage proportional to the input RF signal in dBm. The LT5538 delivers superior temperature stable output (within ?1dB over full temperature range) from 40MHz to 3.8GHz. The output is buffered with a low impedance driver.Applications Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) RF Power Measurement and Control RF/IF Power Detection Receiver RF/IF Gain Control Envelope Detection ASK Receiver
