LT8609/LT8609A/LT8609B
42V, 3A Synchronous Step-Down
Regulator with 2.5µA Quiescent Current
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.0V to 42V
The LT®8609/LT8609A/LT8609B is a compact, high effi-
ciency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down
switching regulator that consumes only 1.7µA of non-
switching quiescent current. The LT8609/LT8609A/
LT8609B can deliver 3A of continuous current. Burst Mode
operation enables high efficiency down to very low output

P-P
A SYNC pin allows synchronization to an external clock, or
spread spectrum modulation 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 accurate

shut down the part. A capacitor on the TR/SS pin programs
the output voltage ramp rate during start-up while the PG
flag signals when V
is within 8.5% on the adjustable
output parts or 7.O5U%T on the fixed output parts of the
programmed output voltage as well as fault conditions.
The LT8609A has slower switch edges for lower EMI emis-
sions. The LT8609B operates in pulse-skipping mode only.
