LT8620
65V, 2A Synchronous
Step-Down Regulator
with 2.5µA Quiescent
Current
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®8620 is a compact, high efficiency, high speed
synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator
that accepts a wide input voltage range up to 65V, and
consumesonly2.5µAofquiescentcurrent.Top andbottom
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 ripple
