LT8609/LT8609A/LT8609B 42V, 3A Synchronous Step-Down Regulator with 2.5µA Quiescent Current FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.0V to 42V The LT®8609/LT8609A/LT8609B is a compact, high effi- n Ultralow Quiescent Current Burst Mode® Operation: ciency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down n <2.5µA IQ Regulating 12VIN to 3.3VOUT switching regulator that consumes only 1.7µA of non- n Output Ripple <10mVP-P switching quiescent current. The LT8609/LT8609A/ n High Efficiency 2MHz Synchronous Operation: LT8609B can deliver 3A of continuous current. Burst Mode n >93% Efficiency at 1A, 5VOUT from 12VIN operation enables high efficiency down to very low output n 3A Maximum Continuous Output currents while keeping the output ripple below 10mVP-P. n Fast Minimum Switch-On Time: 45ns A SYNC pin allows synchronization to an external clock, or n LT8609A Available in Fixed 3.3V and 5V Output spread spectrum modulation for low EMI operation. Internal n Adjustable and Synchronizable: 200kHz to 2.2MHz compensation with peak current mode topology allows the n Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation for Low EMI use of small inductors and results in fast transient response n Allows Use of Small Inductors and good loop stability.
