Analog Devices Inc. LTC3126 Synchronous Buck Converters
Analog Devices Inc. LTC3126 Synchronous Buck Converters are high efficiency with internal no loss PowerPath™. This supports the converters having uninterrupted operation from two separate input power sources. The internal PowerPath™ has fast, automatic switchover that eliminates the need for hold-up capacitors and decreases disturbances on the output rail. Complete feedback of the power system status is provided by independent input and output power good signals, and an active input channel indicator.
Analog Devices Inc. LTC3126 has a wide input voltage range of 2.4V to 42V and 2.5A output current capability. The converters use a wide variety of power sources including supercapacitors, automotive batteries, unregulated wall adapters, and single to multi-cell stacks of most battery chemistries.
