Dual µModule Regulator in 15mm x 9mm x 2.42mm BGA is Configurable as SEPIC (Buck-Boost) and Inverting

MILPITAS, CA – September 21, 2016 – Linear Technology introduces the LTM8049, a dual output, two-function DC/DC µModule® (power module) regulator in 15mm x 9mm x 2.42mm BGA package. One function is SEPIC (single-ended primary-inductor converter) in which the output voltage is regulated while the input voltage can vary to be less, equal or more than the value of the output voltage. The second function of the LTM8049 is an inverting conversion such that a positive input voltage is converted to a regulated negative output voltage. As a dual regulator, either output of the LTM8049 can be configured for a combination of … Read More → "Dual µModule Regulator in 15mm x 9mm x 2.42mm BGA is Configurable as SEPIC (Buck-Boost) and Inverting"
