Linear Technology Corporation, industry leader in manufacturing analog integrated circuits, has just announced its LT3999 – “a monolithic push-pull isolated DC/DC transformer driver with two 1A current limited power switches and Programmable Duty Cycle Control.”
“The LT3999 operates over an input voltage range of 2.7V to 36V, is targeted for power levels up to 15W and can produce a wide range of output voltages. This makes it well suited for automotive, industrial, medical and military applications,” the company announced.
“The LT3999 is available in thermally enhanced MSOP-10 and 3mm x 3mm DFN-10 packages. The LT3999 E- and I-grade versions operate from a -40°C to 125°C junction temperature. The LT3999 H grade is guaranteed to operate from a -40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature. The LT3999 MP grade is guaranteed to operate from -55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature.”
Other features of the LT3999 include cross-conduction prevention circuitry, low noise, programmable input over & under voltage lockout, and a 50kHz to 1MHz programmable switching frequency.
