LT8471IFE in Linear Tech / ADI LT Series Family
The LT8471IFE family, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (formerly Linear Technology), consists of highly versatile dual-channel DC/DC converters capable of buck, boost, flyback, and SEPIC configurations. These multi-topology regulators are designed to simplify complex power chain designs by integrating two power switches and providing independent control over each channel. Engineers utilize this family to generate both positive and negative supply rails from a single input source in space-constrained industrial and automotive environments.
Variants in This Sub-Family
The LT8471IFE variants primarily differ based on their thermal grade and lead finish. The 'IFE' designation specifically denotes the thermally enhanced 20-lead TSSOP package with an exposed pad for improved power dissipation. Variations such as the #PBF suffix indicate lead-free, RoHS-compliant manufacturing, while other suffixes like #TRPBF specify tape and reel packaging for automated assembly lines. Performance specifications remain consistent across the standard commercial and industrial temperature variants.
