The LT8610AC is a compact, high efficiency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator that consumes only 2.5μA of quiescent current. Compared to the LT8610AB, the LT8610AC has a lower feedback voltage of 800mV and a lower minimum V_IN of 3V. The LT8610AC has the same additional features of the LT8610AB as compared to the LT8610: higher maximum output current of 3.5A, faster minimum on time of 30ns, and higher light load efficiency.

The LT8610AC has a SYNC pin for synchronization to an external clock. A capacitor on the TR/SS pin programs the output voltage ramp rate during startup. The PG flag signals when V_OUT is within ±8% of the programmed output voltage as well as fault conditions.
