Analog Devices Inc. LTC3255 Inductorless Charge Pump Converters
Analog Devices Inc. LTC3255 Inductorless Charge Pump Converters are switched-capacitor step-down DC/DC converters that generate 2.4V to 12.5V adjustable output from a 4V to 48V input voltage. LTC3255's 2:1 capacitive charge pumping extends output current capability past input supply current limits in applications where the input voltage exceeds twice the output voltage. Burst Mode® operation reduces VIN quiescent current to 16μA at no load.The devices' integrated VIN shunt regulator makes LTC3255 Converters from Analog Devices Inc. an excellent choice for 4mA to 20mA current loop applications. The converters offer current multiplication to allow a 4mA input current to power a 7.4mA load continuously. The LTC3255 Converters can serve as a higher efficiency replacement for linear regulators. The converters also offer a space-saving, inductor-free alternative to buck DC/DC converters.
