LT8608/LT8608B
42V, 1.5A Synchronous Step-Down Regulator
with 2.5µA Quiescent Current
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®8608 is a compact, high efficiency, high speed
synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator
thatconsumesonly1.7µAofquiescentcurrent.TheLT8608
can deliver 1.5A of continuous current. Low ripple Burst
Mode operation enables high efficiency down to very low
output currents while keeping the output ripple below
10mV. Internal compensation with peak current mode
topology allows the use of small inductors and results in
fast transient response and good loop stability. The EN/
UV pin has an accurate 1V threshold and can be used to

The MSOP package includes a SYNC pin to synchronize
to an external clock, or to select Burst Mode operation
or pulse-skipping with or without spread-spectrum; the
TR/SS pin programs soft-start or tracking. The DFN
package omits these pins and can be purchased in pulse-
skipping or Burst Mode operation varieties.
