Charge pump design uses no inductors. This is a minimum component count, minimum size solution.
Charge pump design uses no inductors. This is a minimum component count, minimum size solution.
Designed for PCMCIA Type I or Type II in-card use. The LT1106 includes VPP bank switching for up to four memory chips.
All surface mount, minimum component count solution.
Efficiency is 84% to 88% at full load.
This circuit serves as a post regulator for flyback converters or overwindings. Output automatically falls to zero in shutdown.
High output current converter programs up to eight memory chips simultaneously.
This shutdown circuit allows output to drop to zero when switching converter is disabled.
