Frequently Asked Questions

What are the operating temperature ranges for different packages?

The LTC2053I is -40°C to 85°C, while the LTC2053H handles –40°C to 125°C. The MS8 package can operate from –65°C to 150°C.

Can I use this device in single-supply or dual-supply applications?

Yes, the LTC2053 supports single supply operations as low as 2.7V and can also be used with dual ±5.5V supplies.

Does the unit require an external clock signal?

The standard LTC2053 does not require an external clock. However, the LTC2053-SYNC version has a CLK pin for synchronization to an external clock.

What is the guaranteed Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)?

For the LTC2053C/LTC2053C-SYNC, the CMRR is typically 113 dB at certain operating ranges.
