LT8613 42V, 6A Synchronous Step-Down Regulator with Current Sense and 3µA Quiescent Current FeaTuresDescripTion n Rail-to-Rail Current Sense Amplifier with Monitor The LT®8613 is a compact, high efficiency, high speed n Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.4V to 42V synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator n Ultralow Quiescent Current Burst Mode® Operation: that consumes only 3µA of quiescent current. Top and 3μA IQ Regulating 12VIN to 3.3VOUT bottom power switches are included with all necessary Output Ripple < 10mVP-P circuitry to minimize the need for external components. n High Efficiency Synchronous Operation: The built-in current sense amplifier with monitor and 95%Efficiency at 3A, 5VOUT from 12VIN control pins allows accurate input or output current 94%Efficiency at 3A, 3.3VOUT from 12VIN regulation and limiting. Low ripple Burst Mode operation n Fast Minimum Switch-On Time: 40ns enables high efficiency down to very low output currents n Low Dropout Under All Conditions: 250mV at 3A while keeping the output ripple below 10mVP-P. A SYNC n Allows Use Of Small Inductors pin allows synchronization to an external clock. Internal n Low EMI compensation with peak current mode topology allows n Adjustable and Synchronizable: 200kHz to 2.2MHz the use of small inductors and results in fast transient n Current Mode Operation response and good loop stability. The EN/UV pin has an n Accurate 1V Enable Pin Threshold accurate 1V threshold and can be used to program VIN n Internal Compensation undervoltage lockout or to shut down the LT8613 reduc- n Output Soft-Start and Tracking ing the input supply current to 1µA. A capacitor on the n Small Thermally Enhanced 3mm × 6mm 28-Lead TR/SS pin programs the output voltage ramp rate during QFN Package start-up. The PG flag signals when VOUT is within ±9% of the programmed output voltage as wel as fault conditions. applicaTions The LT8613 is available in a small 28-lead 3mm × 6mm n QFN package with exposed pad for low thermal resistance.
