FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®1312 is a member of Linear Technology
Corporation’s family of PCMCIA drivers/regulators. The
LT1312 provides 0V, 3.3V, 5V, 12V and Hi-Z regulated
power to the VPP pin of a PCMCIA card slot from a single
unregulated13Vto20Vsupply. Whenusedinconjunction
with a PC card interface controller, the LT1312 forms a
complete minimum component-count interface for palm-
top, pen-basedandnotebookcomputers. TheVPPoutput
voltage is selected by two logic compatible digital inputs
which interface directly with industry standard PC card
interface controllers.

8-Pin SO Packaging
Automatic 3.3V to 5V switching is provided by an internal
comparator which continuously monitors the PC card VCC
supply and automatically adjusts the regulated VPP out-
put to match VCC when the VPP = VCC mode is selected.
