LT1073CS8 in Linear Tech / ADI LT Series Family
The LT1073CS8 series by Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a versatile gated-oscillator micropower DC/DC converter family designed for single-cell operation. It functions as a buck, boost, or inverting switching regulator, capable of operating from input voltages as low as 1V. Primarily utilized in battery-powered electronics, the device consumes only 95µA of quiescent current while providing a robust 1.5A internal power switch, making it an efficient choice for power management in portable instrumentation and remote sensing systems.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the LT1073 family primarily differ based on their output voltage configurations and operating temperature ranges. While the LT1073CS8 features an adjustable output via external resistors, others like the LT1073-5 and LT1073-12 offer fixed 5V and 12V outputs respectively to reduce external component count. Packaging options also vary between the standard 8-pin SOIC and PDIP formats to suit different thermal requirements and manufacturing processes.
