LT1175CT in Linear Tech / ADI LT Series Family
The LT1175CT series by Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a family of negative low dropout micropower linear regulators capable of delivering up to 500mA of output current. Primarily utilized for generating stable negative voltage rails, these devices are essential in split-supply analog systems and sensitive instrumentation. They feature a unique operational range that allows for adjustable output voltages with high precision, making them a standard choice for engineers requiring low-noise negative regulation in classic through-hole form factors.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants in the LT1175 family primarily differ by package type and output configuration. The LT1175CT specifically utilizes the 5-lead TO-220 package, which is optimized for thermal performance. Other variants include surface-mount options like the SOT-223 or DD-Pak. While the 'CT' designation usually indicates the adjustable version in a through-hole package, fixed voltage versions are available in other packages to simplify design by removing external resistor dividers.
