DESCRIPTION
The LT
廬
1614 is a fixed frequency, inverting mode switch-
ing reglator that operates from an input voltage as low as
1V. Utilizing a low noise topology, the LT1614 can gener-
ate a negative output down to 鈥?24V from a 1V to 5V input.
Fixed frequency switching ensures a clean output free
from low frequency noise. The device contains a low-
battery detector with a 200mV reference and shuts down
to less than 10碌A(chǔ). No load quiescent current of the LT1614
is 1mA and the internal NPN power switch handles a
500mA current with a voltage drop of just 295mV.
High frequency switching enables the use of small induc-
tors and capacitors. Ceramic capacitors can be used in
many applications, eliminating the need for bulky tanta-
lum types.
The LT1614 is available in 8-lead MSOP or SO packages.
