LT1073 Overview
Key Specifications
Mount Type: Through Hole
Pins: 8
Max Voltage (typical range): 30 V
Min Voltage (typical range): 1 V
Key Features
- The device requires only three external components to deliver a fixed output of 5V or 12V
- The very low minimum supply voltage of 1V allows the use of the LT1073 in applications where the primary power source is a single cell
- An on-chip auxiliary gain block can function as a lowbattery detector or linear post-regulator
- The circuit shown can deliver 5V at 40mA from an input as low as 1.25V and 5V at 10mA from a 1V input
- Switch current limiting is user-adjustable by adding a single external resistor
- Unique reversebattery protection circuitry limits reverse current to safe, nondestructive levels at reverse supply voltages up to 1.6V
- LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation
