Product Summary

The ltc1773ems/tr is a current mode synchronous buck regulator controller that drives external complementary power MOSFETs using a fixed frequency architecture. The operating supply range is from 2.65V to 8.5V, making it suitable for 1- or 2-cell lithium-ion battery powered applications. Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency at low load currents. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout operation which extends operating time in battery-operated systems. The applications of the ltc1773ems/tr are (1)Cellular Telephones; (2)RF PA Supplies; (3)Portable Instruments; (4)Wireless MODEMS; (5)Distributed Power Systems; (6)Notebook and Palm Top Computers, PDAs; (7)Single and Dual Cell Lithium-Ion Powered Devices.
