A 2A, 42V input synchronous step-down switching regulator with unique synchronous rectification topology that delivers 93% efficiency while switching at 2MHz is available at Farnell element14. Linear Technology’s LT8609 enables designers to avoid noise-sensitive frequency bands, such as AM radio, while providing a highly compact package; it is available in a small 10-lead thermally-enhanced MSOP package.

Suited for applications requiring general purpose step-down or low EMI step down, the device features an input voltage range of 3.0V to 42V and ultra-low quiescent current burst mode operation

The input voltage range makes it ideal for automotive applications which must regulate through cold-crank and stop-start scenarios with minimum input voltages as low as 3.0V and load dump transients in excess of 40V.

The device’s feature set is rounded off by internal compensation, a power good flag, output soft start/tracking and thermal protection.
