FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®8610 is a compact, high efficiency, high speed
synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator
that consumes only 2.5μA of quiescent 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 output
