The LT8610A series are compact, high efficiency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulators that consume only 2.5μA of quiescent current. Compared to the LT8610, they have higher maximum output currents of 3.5A and a faster minimum switch-on time of 30ns. The LT8610A has the same low ripple burst mode performance of the LT8610.

The other features of the LT8610 remain unchanged in the LT8610A series. A SYNC pin allows synchronization to an external clock. The EN/UV pin has an accurate 1V threshold for V_IN undervoltage lockout or shut down. A capacitor on the TR/SS pin programs the output voltage ramp rate during startup. The PG flag signals when V_OUT is within ±9% of the programmed output voltage as well as fault conditions.
