The LTC3108EGN#PBF is a highly integrated DC/DC converter from Analog Devices Inc., designed for energy harvesting and low power applications. This innovative component is ideal for converting very low input voltages from thermoelectric generators, small solar cells, and other low voltage sources into a higher, regulated output voltage necessary to power a variety of electronic devices.

Key Features

• Ultra-Low Voltage Operation: The LTC3108 operates from input voltages as low as 20mV, which enables it to harvest energy from sources that are typically too low to be useful for standard converters.
• Integrated Voltage Multiplier: This device includes an onboard voltage multiplier and boost converter, which work together to provide a high efficiency power conversion from the low voltage input to a usable output voltage.
• Versatile Output Configurations: The LTC3108 provides multiple output voltage options, including a 2.35V fixed output and selectable outputs that can be set to 2.2V, 3.3V, 4.1V, or 5V, allowing it to power a wide range of devices.
• Power Good Indicator: It features a Power Good (PG) output that indicates when the output voltage is within regulation, which is particularly useful for managing downstream loads.
• Low Quiescent Current: The device draws an extremely low quiescent current, making it suitable for battery-powered and energy-sensitive applications.
