LT8601
42V Triple Monolithic
Synchronous Step-Down Regulator
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®8601 is a triple channel, current mode, monolithic
buck switching regulator with a programmable power-on
reset. All regulators are synchronized to a single oscillator
with an adjustable frequency from 250kHz to 2.2MHz. The
LT8601 can be configured for micropower Burst Mode or
pulse-skipping operation at light load. Micropower opera-
tion results in quiescent current of 30µA with all three
regulators operating as shown in the application below
with no load applied.

The high voltage channels are synchronous buck regula-
tors that operate from an input of 3.0V to 42V. The output
currents are up to 1.5A (OUT1) and 2.5A (OUT2). The
low voltage channel operates from an input of 2.6V to
5.5V. Internal synchronous power switches provide high
efficiency with output currents up to 1.8A. The LT8601
uses a 2-phase clock with channel 1 operating 180° from
channels 2 and 3 to reduce input ripple current on both
HV and LV inputs. All channels have cycle-by-cycle cur-
rent limit, providing protection against shorted outputs.
Thermal shutdown provides additional protection.
