High-Voltage, Dual-Output Step-Down Charge Pump

Linear Technology’s new LTC3256 is a high-voltage, low-noise, dual-output power supply that  takes a single positive input and generates 5- and 3.3-V step-down supplies with high efficiency and no inductors. Featuring a 5.5-to-38-V input voltage range, the LTC3256 includes independently enabled dual outputs: a 5-V, 100-mA supply and a 250-mA, 3.3-V low-dropout (LDO) regulator for a total of 350 mA available output current. This combination of regulators offers much lower power dissipation than a dual-LDO solution. The device is well-suite for a variety of applications,  including automotive ECU/CAN transceiver supplies and general-purpose 12-to-5-V and 3.3-V conversion.Linear LT3256
