MILPITAS, CA – April 13, 2010 – The LTC3521 combines a synchronous 1A buck-boost DC/DC converter with dual 600mA synchronous step-down DC/DC converters to offer three output rails with efficiencies as high as 95%. The LTC3521’s input range of 1.8V to 5.5V makes it compatible with all types of PC card slots, USB and single-cell Li-Ion or dual/triple-cell alkaline/NiCd/NiMH applications. The topology incorporated in the LTC3521’s synchronous buck-boost channel provides a continuous transition through all operating modes, making it ideal for applications that must maintain a constant output voltage even as the battery voltage declines below the … Read More → "Wide VIN Triple Output 1A Buck-Boost and Dual 600mA Synchronous Buck Converters in 4×4 QFN"
