LTC1144CN8 in Linear Tech / ADI LT Series Family
The LTC1144CN8 is a monolithic CMOS switched-capacitor voltage converter belonging to the Linear Technology (Analog Devices) power management portfolio. It is designed to perform supply voltage conversion, providing positive-to-negative or negative-to-positive inversion, as well as voltage doubling and halving. Operating over a wide supply range of 2V to 18V, it features an internal oscillator and provides high output current capabilities compared to standard charge pumps, making it a staple for localized split-rail power generation in precision analog circuits.
Variants in This Sub-Family
The LTC1144 family variants primarily differ in their package types and temperature grading. While the LTC1144CN8 is the standard 8-pin plastic DIP through-hole variant rated for commercial temperature ranges, other versions such as the LTC1144IS8 provide SOIC surface-mount footprints and industrial-grade temperature reliability. Some variants may also include specific lead-free (PBF) finishes to comply with environmental regulations while maintaining identical electrical specifications across the sub-family.
