An internal voltage tripler allows gates to be driven without the use of any external components. Internal regulation circuitry allows quiescent current to drop to 10µA per driver (20µA for LTC1981) once the gates are charged. Low quiescent current and low shutdown current (under 1µA) make these parts ideal for battery and other power constrained systems. The wide input voltage range accommodates a variety of battery/input configurations.
