nous monolithic step-down switching regulator that con-
sumesonly6.5µA ofquiescentcurrentwithbothchannels
enabled.Bothchannelscontainallswitchesandnecessary
circuitry to minimize the need for external components.
Low ripple Burst Mode operation enables high efficiency
down to very low output currents while minimizing output
ripple. A SYNC pin allows synchronization to an external
clock. 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-
able pins have accurate 1V thresholds and can be used to
program undervoltage lockout. Capacitors on the TR/SS
pins programs the output voltage ramp rate during start-
up while the PG pins signal when each output is within
10% of the programmed output voltage. The LT8616 is
available in a TSSOP package for high reliability.
