LT8601 42V Triple Monolithic Synchronous Step-Down Regulator FeaTuresDescripTion n Flexible Power Supply System Providing Three The LT®8601 is a triple channel, current mode, monolithic Outputs Over a Wide Input Voltage Range buck switching regulator with a programmable power-on n Two High Voltage Synchronous Buck Regulators reset. All regulators are synchronized to a single oscillator n 3V to 42V Input Voltage Range with an adjustable frequency from 250kHz to 2.2MHz. The n Output Currents Up to 2.5A and 1.5A LT8601 can be configured for micropower Burst Mode or n High Efficiency Up to 93% pulse-skipping operation at light load. Micropower opera- n One Low Voltage Synchronous Buck Regulator tion results in quiescent current of 30µA with all three n 2.6V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range regulators operating as shown in the application below n Output Current Up to 1.8A and 95% Efficiency with no load applied. n Resistor Programmable and Synchronizable The high voltage channels are synchronous buck regula- from 250kHz to 2.2MHz Switching Frequency tors that operate from an input of 3.0V to 42V. The output n Low Ripple Burst Mode ® Operation currents are up to 1.5A (OUT1) and 2.5A (OUT2). The n 30µA IQ at 12VIN to 3.3VOUT2 low voltage channel operates from an input of 2.6V to n Output Ripple < 15mV 5.5V. Internal synchronous power switches provide high n Programmable Power-On Reset efficiency with output currents up to 1.8A. The LT8601 n Power Good Indicators uses a 2-phase clock with channel 1 operating 180° from n 2-Phase Clock Reduces Input Current Ripple channels 2 and 3 to reduce input ripple current on both n Available in Thermally Enhanced 40-Lead QFN HV and LV inputs. All channels have cycle-by-cycle cur- (6mm × 6mm) Package rent limit, providing protection against shorted outputs. Thermal shutdown provides additional protection. applicaTions The LT8601 is available in a 40-lead 6mm × 6mm QFN n Automotive Systems package. n Distributed Supply Regulation n Industrial Controls and Power Supplies L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo and Burst Mode are registered trademarks of Analog Devices, Inc.
