Typical Application

LTC4555 Typical Application

Description

The LTC4555 provides power conversion and signal level shifting needed for low voltage 2.5G and 3G cellular telephones to interface with 1.8V or 3V subscriber identity modules (SIMs). The part meets all type approval requirements for 1.8V and 3V SIMs and smart cards. The part contains an LDO linear regulator to supply SIM power at either 1.8V or 3V from a 3V to 6V input. The output voltage is selected with a single pin and up to 50mA of load current can be supplied.

Internal level translators allow controllers operating with supplies as low as 1.2V to interface with 1.8V or 3V smart cards. Battery life is maximized by 20µA operating current and <1µA shutdown current. Board area is minimized by the 3mm x 3mm leadless QFN package.
