Voltage reference shrinks into tiny DFN
The LT6660 is billed as the industry's first precision series voltage reference to use the tiny 3-lead 2 x 2mm DFN package.
New from Linear Technology, the LT6660 is billed as the industry's first precision series voltage reference to use the tiny 3-lead 2 x 2mm DFN package These compact devices combine 0.2% initial accuracy and 20ppm drift with micro-power operation and require less than half the space of the SOT-23 package

Card power chip meets smart and SIM standards
The LTC4557 is a dual SIM/smart-card power supply and level translator, which provides both 1.8 and 3V SIM power and digital signal level shifting from a 3 x 3mm QFN package.
Furthermore, the LT6660 does not require an output compensation capacitor - a key advantage where PC board space is at a premium or fast settling is required.
The LT6660 accepts input voltages up to 30V and can withstand reverse-battery conditions.
The output voltages include 2.5, 3, 3.3, 5 and 10V.
With a dropout of only 900mV, this tiny device is also ideal for precision regulator applications since it can supply up to 20mA of current.
As it needs no output compensation capacitor, the LT6660 is also suited to applications with intrinsic safety requirements.
The LT6660 offers a way to significantly reduce the sise of new designs without compromising performance.
"The LT6660 combines an excellent set of features and precision specifications in only 4mm2", says Brendan Whelan, Design Section Lead for Linear Technology.
The LT6660 is in full production, with prices starting at $0.88 each in 1000-piece quantities. Request a free brochure from Linear Technology Corp ...
