Linear Technology has introduced the LT8616, a 42V-input-capable, high-efficiency dual synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator. Its dual-channel design delivers independent 2.5A and 1.5A continuous current to outputs as low as 0.8V.

A dual-channel synchronous rectification topology delivers up to 95 per cent efficiency, while Burst Mode operation keeps quiescent current under 6.5µA (both channels enabled) in no-load standby conditions, making it suitable for always-on systems. Switching frequency can be programmed from 200kHz to 3MHz and is synchronisable throughout this range.

The LT8616’s 35nsec minimum on-time enables 16V_IN to 1.8V_OUT step-down conversions, while switching at 2MHz helps designers avoid critical noise-sensitive frequency bands, such as AM radio, while having a very compact solution footprint. Its 3.4V to 42V input voltage range makes it suitable for automotive applications that must regulate through cold-crank and stop-start scenarios with minimum input voltages as low as 3.4V and load-dump transients in excess of 40V.

Each channel of the LT8616 maintains a minimum dropout voltage of only 400mV (at1A) under all conditions, enabling it to excel in scenarios such as automotive cold-crank. The LT8616’s 28-lead thermally enhanced TSSOP package and high switching frequency keeps external inductors and capacitors small, providing a compact, thermally efficient footprint.
