Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4000-1, a high voltage controller and power manager with input maximum power point control (MPPC) that converts virtually any externally compensated DC/DC power supply into a full-featured battery charger. The LTC4000-1 is capable of driving typical DC/DC converter topologies, including buck, boost, buck-boost, SEPIC, flyback and forward.
Linear Technology announces the H-grade version of the LT3518. The LT3518 is a 45 V, high-side current sense DC/DC converter designed to drive high current LEDs at constant current. Its 3 to 30 V input voltage range with transient protection to 40 V makes the LT3518 ideal for a wide variety of applications, including automotive, industrial and architectural lighting.
Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2996 high accuracy temperature sensor for 2.25 to 5.5 V systems. The LTC2996 measures a remote diode’s temperature with ±1° C accuracy and its own die temperature with ±2° C accuracy while rejecting errors due to noise and series resistance.
Linear Technology announces the LTC5584, an ultrawide bandwidth direct conversion I/Q demodulator with outstanding linearity of 31 dBm IIP3 and 70 dBm IIP2. The device offers best-in-class demodulation bandwidth of over 530 MHz, supporting the latest generation of LTE multimode, LTE Advanced receivers, as well as digital predistortion (DPD) receivers. 
Linear Technology introduces the LTM9012, a quad 14-bit, 125 Msps µModule® analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated fixed gain drivers, passive filtering and bypass capacitance. The integrated µModule converters offer dramatic reduction in board space for high channel-count applications as diverse as medical imaging systems and MIMO 4 G base stations.
Linear Technology has developed the LTC6946, the first device in a family of high performance integer-N frequency synthesizers with integrated VCO, delivering −226 dBc/Hz normalized closed-loop in-band phase noise, −274 dBc/Hz normalized in-band 1/f noise and best-in-class −103 dBc spurious output.
