LTG family

Thermal Guide Electrically-Isolated SMT Thermal Jumper

Product Details

Description
Features
Parameters

LTG devices from Lotus Microsystems are thermally conductive yet electrically isolated silicon-based thermal jumpers. These devices are designed to guide heat away from hot electronic components, such as between active devices and ground planes, without establishing an electrical connection. LTG devices significantly enhance thermal conductivity, particularly in situations with limited or no direct access to a ground plane or heatsink, such as in a high-side switch in a half-bridge configuration.

Silicon, used as an alternative to traditional ceramic materials in the construction of thermal jumpers, offers a cost-effective solution with high thermal conductivity and excellent thermomechanical properties, and is reliably processed. The incorporation of LTG devices improves circuit reliability and reduces the overall cost of the thermal management system. They are available in three standard EIA sizes (0402, 0603, and 0805) as well as custom sizes.

Applications

Hearing Aids
High-efficiency boost maximizes energy extraction from tiny cells, while ultra-low quiescent current extends overall battery life and maintains clean audio power.
IoT Sensors
Boost enables operation from low/depleting sources, and very low standby power supports long-life or energy-harvested sensing.
Wearables
Boost maintains a stable rail as batteries sag, and high efficiency reduces losses in compact, always-on designs.
Single-/double-cell PV Systems
Boost lifts low, variable PV voltages to a usable level, and low-power operation enables continuous energy-harvested functionality.
Smart Insulin Pens
Boost preserves stable performance as coin cells age, and ultra-low IQ supports multi-year, reliable sensing and dosing.

Applications

Optical Transceivers & Modules
Ultra-low-noise power delivery maximizes optical signal integrity, enabling cleaner modulation, tighter eye diagrams, and higher data rates.
Computing Point-of-Load Power
Exceptionally low output ripple ensures stable, quiet rails for sensitive CPUs, ASICs, and FPGAs –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ideal for high-precision digital systems.
5G Small Cells & Telecom
Ultra-low-noise regulation minimizes interference with RF front ends, boosting radio performance in compact, high-density designs.
Medical Devices & Instrumentation
Provides ultra-clean, low-flicker power crucial for precision sensing, imaging, and diagnostic accuracy in medical electronics.
General Low-Noise DC-DC Conversion
Combines a miniature SiP with premium noise performance to deliver one of the quietest power rails available in its class.
