Rail-to-Rail Current Sense Amplifier with Monitor
The LT®8613 is a compact, high efficiency, high speed
synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator
that consumes only 3µA of quiescent current. Top and
bottom power switches are included with all necessary
circuitry to minimize the need for external components.
The built-in current sense amplifier with monitor and
control pins allows accurate input or output current
regulation and limiting. Low ripple Burst Mode operation
enables high efficiency down to very low output currents
