Demonstration Circuit 974 is a 100kHz to -500kHz programmable frequency, high voltage, current-mode DC/DC step-down converter featuring the LT3844. The operating frequency can be synchronized up to 600kHz. The board operates from a Vin range of 15V to -60V and outputs 12VOUT @ 4.2A (50W).

The LTC4245 Hot Swap? controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and PCI Express. Using four external N-channel pass transistors, the board supply voltages can be ramped up at an adjustable rate and in any desired sequence. An I2C interface and on-board ADC allow monitoring of board current, voltage and fault status for each supply.The device features adjustable dI/dt controlled soft start and foldback limited inrush current. A dual-level timed circuit breaker and fast current limit protect each supply against overcurrent faults. A power good input with timeout allows a downstream supply monitor to disconnect the board supplies. The device can be con?gured to function without a ?12V supply or with an extra 3.3V supply instead of a 5V supply.The controller has additional features to interrupt the host when a fault has occurred, notify when output power is good, detect insertion of a load card and power-up in either the on or off state.Applications Live Board Insertion CompactPCI, CompactPCI Express, CompactTCA, PCI Express Systems

DC988A-B: Demo Board for the LT3585 Photoflash Charger with Adjustable Input Current and IGBT Driver.

The LT3585 series are highly integrated ICs designed to charge photo?ash capacitors in digital and ?lm cameras. A new control technique allows for the use of extremely small transformers. Each part contains an on-chip high voltage NPN power switch. Output voltage detection is completely contained within the part, eliminating the need for any discrete zener diodes or resistors. The output voltage can be adjusted by simply changing the turns ratio of the transformer.The CHRG/IADJ pin gives full control of the part to the user. Driving CHRG/IADJ low puts the part in low power shutdown. The CHRG/IADJ pin can also be used to reduce the input current of the charger, useful in extending battery life. The DONE pin indicates when the part has completed charging.The LT3585 series of parts are housed in tiny 3mm ? 2mm DFN packages.Applications Digital/Film Camera Flash PDA/Cell Phone Flash Emergency Strobe

The LTC4066/LTC4066-1 are USB power managers and Li-Ion battery chargers designed to work in portable battery-powered applications. The parts control the total current used by the USB peripheral for operation and battery charging. The total input current can be limited to 100mA, 500mA or ?unlimited? (i.e., above 2A). Battery charge current is automatically reduced such that the sum of the load current and the charge current does not exceed the programmed input current limit.The LTC4066/LTC4066-1 include a standalone constant-current / constant-voltage linear charger for single cell Li-ion batteries. The ?oat voltage applied to the battery is held to a tight 0.8% tolerance, and charge current is programmable using an external resistor to ground. A programmable end-of-charge status output (CHRG) indicates full charge. BAT pin charge and discharge currents can be monitored via an analog output (ISTAT). Total charge time is programmable by an external capacitor to ground. When the battery drops 100mV below the ?oat voltage, automatic recharging of the battery occurs. Also featured is an NTC thermistor input used to monitor battery temperature while charging.The LTC4066/LTC4066-1 are available in a 24-pin thin pro?le (0.75mm) 4mm x 4mm QFN package. The LTC4066 is also available in a 24-pin ultrathin pro?le (0.55mm) 4mm x 4mm UTQFN package.Applications Portable USB Devices GPS, Cameras, Broadband Wireless Modems Mulitple Input Chargers

Demonstration circuit 862 is a micropower regulated charge pump DC/DC converter featuring the 60mA output LTC3221 in a 2mmx2mm DFN package. It comes in three assembly versions, DC862A-A, DC862A-B and DC862A-C, featuring the LTC3221EDC-3.3 (fixed 3.3V output), the LTC3221EDC-5 (fixed 5V output) , and LTC3221EDC (adjustable output set to 3V), respectively. The demo board input voltage range depends on the IC used; for the 3.3V output DC862A-A, the input voltage range is 1.8V to 4.4V. The LTC3221's low 8µA no-load quiescent current is even lower than the self-discharging current of many batteries. By employing a constant current to charge the output, the output ripple is low even at high input and light load, and is fairly constant over the full input voltage range.
