LTC3108EGN in Linear Tech / ADI LT Series Family
The LTC3108EGN series, manufactured by Analog Devices (Linear Technology), is a highly integrated DC/DC converter family optimized for harvesting and managing surplus energy from extremely low input voltage sources such as Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) and thermopiles. By utilizing a small external step-up transformer, it facilitates power extraction from voltage differentials as low as 20mV, providing a complete power management solution for wireless sensors and data acquisition systems where battery replacement is impractical or impossible.
Variants in This Sub-Family
The LTC3108EGN sub-family variants primarily differ in their output voltage configurations and packaging options. For example, the LTC3108-1 variant provides a different set of fixed output voltages compared to the standard LTC3108 to better accommodate specific lithium-ion or thin-film battery chemistries. Some variants are also available in different thermal grades (E-grade vs. I-grade) to support varying industrial operating temperature ranges.
