DESCRIPTION
Silent Switcher® 2 Architecture
The LT®8608S is a compact, high efficiency, high speed
synchronous monolithic step-down switching regula-
tor that consumes only 1.7µA of quiescent current. The

LT8608S can deliver 1.5A of continuous current. Top and
bottom power switches are included with all necessary
circuitry to minimize the need for external components.
Low ripple Burst Mode operation enables high efficiency
down to very low output currents while keeping the out-
put ripple below 10mV. A SYNC pin allows synchroniza-
tion to an external clock, or spread spectrum modulation
of switching frequencies for low EMI operation. 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
