LT1073CN8#PBF

LT1073CN8#PBF is a versatile micropower DC/DC converter requiring only three external components. With an exceptionally low minimum supply voltage of 1V, the LT1073 can be utilized in applications where the primary power source is a single cell. An on-chip auxiliary gain block can serve as a low-battery detector or linear post-regulator. The device can easily be configured as a step-up or stepdown converter, although for most step-down applications or input sources greater than 3V, the LT1173 is recommended. Switch current limiting is user-adjustable by adding a single external resistor. Applications for this converter range from pagers, cameras, and single-cell to 5V converters, to battery backup supplies, laptop and palmtop computers, cellular telephones, portable instruments, 4mA to 20mA loop powered instruments, hand-held inventory computers, and battery-powered α, β, and γ particle detectors.
