Linear Technology Launches LTM8001 Step-Down µModule Regulator

MILPITAS, CA – March 12, 2013  – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTM8001, a step-down µModule® regulator that includes an array of five low noise 1A linear regulators. Depending on the number and combination of current-sharing outputs, the linear regulators can also be configured to provide 2A, 3A, 4A or 5A. Packaged in a 15mm x 15mm x 3.42mm ball grid array (BGA) package, the LTM8001 powers five low noise linear regulators with a built-in synchronous step-down converter, providing high efficiency conversion over an input supply voltage range of 6V to 36V. Each output voltage is adjustable from 0V to 24V. The LTM8001 is designed to power multi-rail systems based on FPGAs, DSPs, ASICs and microprocessors.

　　Each of the LTM8001's five linear regulators has an adjustable output voltage from 0V to 24V with ±2% accuracy over temperature. Output noise is only 90µVRMS over a 10Hz to 1MHz frequency range. The buck regulator features a user-adjustable current limit with ±10% accuracy.

　　The LTM8001 is guaranteed to operate over the internal temperature ranges of -40°C to +125°C and -55°C to +125°C. Pricing starts at $17.40 each in 1,000-piece quantities. The LTM8001 is available from stock and is available now. For more information, visit www.linear.com/product/LTM8001.
