LT8608/LT8608B 42V, 1.5A Synchronous Step-Down Regulator with 2.5µA Quiescent Current FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.0V to 42V The LT®8608 is a compact, high efficiency, high speed n Ultralow Quiescent Current Burst Mode ® Operation: synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator n <2.5µA IQ Regulating 12VIN to 3.3VOUT that consumes only 1.7µA of quiescent current. The LT8608 n Output Ripple <10mVP-P can deliver 1.5A of continuous current. Low ripple Burst n High Efficiency 2MHz Synchronous Operation: Mode operation enables high efficiency down to very low n >92% Efficiency at 0.5A, 5VOUT from 12VIN output currents while keeping the output ripple below n 1.5A Continuous Output Current 10mV. Internal compensation with peak current mode n Fast Minimum Switch-On Time: 35ns topology allows the use of small inductors and results in n Adjustable and Synchronizable: 200kHz to 2.2MHz fast transient response and good loop stability. The EN/ n Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation for Low EMI UV pin has an accurate 1V threshold and can be used to n Allows Use of Small Inductors program VIN undervoltage lockout or to shut down the n Low Dropout LT8608. The PG flag signals when VOUT is within ±8.5% of n Peak Current Mode Operation the programmed output voltage as wel as fault conditions. n Accurate 1V Enable Pin Threshold The MSOP package includes a SYNC pin to synchronize n Internal Compensation to an external clock, or to select Burst Mode operation n Output Soft-Start and Tracking or pulse-skipping with or without spread-spectrum; the n Small 10-Lead MSOP Package or 8-Lead TR/SS pin programs soft-start or tracking. The DFN 2mm × 2mm DFN Package package omits these pins and can be purchased in pulse- skipping or Burst Mode operation varieties.
