LT1612ES8#TRPBF

Overview

The LT1612ES8#TRPBF is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates with an input voltage range of 2V to 5.5V and provides a single adjustable output down to 0.6V. The device features an integrated 500mA switch and supports surface-mount installation in an 8-lead SOIC package. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Synchronous rectification architecture for improved efficiency
• Integrated power switch rated at 500mA
• Adjustable output voltage capability starting from 0.6V

Applications

• Battery-powered portable electronics
• General-purpose low-voltage power supply designs
• Embedded system voltage regulation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TRPBF indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the manufacturer designation as Analog Devices Inc. or Linear Technology. Ensure the part number matches the exact 8-lead SOIC narrow package specification required for the target PCB footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact, synchronous buck solution with input voltages up to 5.5V. The integrated 500mA current limit suits moderate load requirements. Consider the 8-lead SOIC package constraints and the adjustable output range when designing the feedback network.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LT1612 family of synchronous step-down converters. It is distinct from other variants like the LT1610 or LT1618 which may differ in switching frequency, current capacity, or package type. The ES8 designation specifically identifies the 8-lead SOIC package variant within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

LT1612EMS8#TRPBF offers the same electrical specifications but utilizes an MSOP package instead of SOIC.
