LTC3608IWKG#PBF Datasheet PDF - Linear Technology

●The LTC3608IWKG#PBF is a high-efficiency monolithic synchronous step-down DC-to-DC Converter can deliver up to 8A output current from a 4 to 18V (20V maximum) input supply. It uses a valley current control architecture to deliver very low duty cycle operation at high frequency with excellent transient response. The operating frequency is selected by an external resistor and is compensated for variations in VIN and VOUT. The LTC3608 can be configured for discontinuous or forced continuous operation at light load. Forced continuous operation reduces noise and RF interference while discontinuous mode provides high efficiency by reducing switching losses at light loads. Fault protection is provided by internal foldback current limiting, an output overvoltage comparator and an optional short-circuit shutdown timer. Soft-start capability for supply sequencing is accomplished using an external timing capacitor. The regulator current limit is user programmable.
