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- n Ultralow Quiescent Current Burst Mode® Operation: ciency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down n <2.5µA IQ Regulating 12VIN to 3.3VOUT switching regulator that consumes only 1.7µA of non- n Output Ripple <10mVP-P switching quiescent current. The LT8609/LT8609A/ n High Efficiency 2MHz Synchronous Operation: LT8609B can deliver 3A of continuous current. Burst Mode n >93% Efficiency at 1A, 5VOUT from 12VIN operation enables high efficiency down to very low output n 3A Maximum Continuous Output currents while keeping the output ripple below 10mVP-P. n Fast Minimum Switch-On Time: 45ns A SYNC pin allows synchronization to an external clock, or n Adjustable and Synchronizable: 200kHz to 2.2MHz spread spectrum modulation for low EMI operation. Internal n Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation for Low EMI compensation with peak current mode topology allows the n Allows Use of Small Inductors use of small inductors and results in fast transient response n Low Dropout and good loop stability. The EN/UV pin has an accurate 1V n Peak Current Mode Operation threshold and can be used to program VIN UVLO or to shut n Accurate 1V Enable Pin Threshold down the part. A capacitor on the TR/SS pin programs the n Internal Compensation output voltage ramp rate during start-up while the PG flag n Output Soft-Start and Tracking signals when VOUT is within ±8.5% of the programmed n Small 10-Lead or 16-Lead MSOP Package output voltage as well as fault conditions. The LT8609A has slower switch edges for lower EMI emissions. The LT8609B operates in pulse-skipping mode only.
