Faster, Smaller, Quieter
The LT 8609 combines high efficiency and high switching frequencies to deliver a very compact synchronous step-down
2A (3A peak) solution. It offers 93% efficiency switching at 2MHz stepping 12V

, offering a very small
solution footprint while keeping switching noise out of critical frequency bands. Spread spectrum frequency modulation
reduces EMI concerns. The LT8609 delivers 2A of continuous output current and can deliver 3A peak load for up to
®
1 second offering a tiny solution for applications ranging from automotive power systems to GSM modems. Its Burst Mode
operation only requires 2.5µA of quiescent current extending battery life.
