total supply current, yet is capable of supplying DC output
currents in excess of 5mA and reliably driving capacitive
loads of up to 1000pF. Sleep mode further reduces total
supply current to 1µA.

Ultralow supply current, power-saving sleep mode and
extremely compact size make the LTC1664 ideal for
battery-powered applications, while its ease of use, high
performance and wide supply range make it an excellent
choice as a general-purpose converter.
