The LTC1702 is a dual switching regulator controller optimized for high efficiency with low input voltages. It includes two complete, on-chip, independent switching regulator controllers each designed to drive a pair of external N-channel MOSFET devices in a voltage mode feedback, synchronous buck configuration. The LTC1702 uses a constant-frequency, true PWM design switching at 550kHz, minimizing external component size and cost and maximizing load transient performance. The synchronous buck architecture automatically shifts to discontinuous and then to Burst Mode™ operation as the output load decreases, ensuring maximum efficiency over a wide range of load currents.The LTC1702 features an onboard reference trimmed to 0.5% and can provide better than 1% regulation at the converter outputs. Open-drain logic outputs indicate whether either output has risen to within 5% of the final output voltage and an optional latching FAULT mode protects the load if the output rises 15% above the intended voltage. Each channel can be enabled independently; with both channels disabled, the LTC1702 shuts down and supply current drops below 100µA.Applications Microprocessor Core and I/O Supplies Multiple Logic Supply Generator Distributed Power Applications High Efficiency Power Conversion

The MAX110/MAX111 analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) use an internal auto-calibration technique to achieve 14-bit resolution plus overrange, with no external components. Operating supply current is only 550µA (MAX110) and reduces to 4µA in power-down mode, making these ADCs ideal for high-resolution battery-powered or remote-sensing applications. A fast serial interface simplifies signal routing and opto-isolation, saves microcontroller pins, and offers compatibility with SPI™, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE™. The MAX110 operates with ±5V supplies, and converts differential analog signals in the -3V to +3V range. The MAX111 operates with a single +5V supply and converts differential analog signals in the ±1.5V range, or single-ended signals in the 0V to +1.5V range.Internal calibration allows for both offset and gain-error correction under microprocessor (µP) control. Both devices are available in space-saving 16-pin DIP and SO packages, as well as an even smaller 20-pin SSOP package.ApplicationsData AcquisitionPanel MetersProcess ControlTemperature MeasurementWeigh Scales

The MAX6662 is a 12-bit + sign temperature sensor combined with a programmable overtemperature alarm and a 3-wire (SPI-compatible) serial interface in a single package. It converts its die temperature into digital values using an internal analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

The operating temperature range is -55° to +150°.The MAX6662 provides two programmable watchdog interrupt outputs. Active-Low ALERT is used for lower temperature warning functions, while active-low OT is used for higher temperature-critical functions, such as power-supply shutdown.

An internal undervoltage lockout circuit forces all four digital outputs low when VCC drops below the minimum operating voltage. The four digital outputs have weak internal pullups to VCC, accommodating wire-ORed connections. Each input threshold voltage has an independent output. The MAX6709/MAX6714 are available in a 10-pin µMAX® package and operate over the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.ApplicationsComputers: Desktop, Workstation, ServerData Storage EquipmentHigh-End PrintersMultivoltage SystemsNetwork EquipmentServersTelecommunications
