42V, 2A/3A Peak (IOUT), Synchronous Step-Down Silent Switcher® 2 Delivers 93% Efficiency at 2MHz & Ultralow EMI/EMC Emissions

MILPITAS, CA & NORWOOD, MA – June 29, 2017 – Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corporation, announces the LT8609S, a 2A (3A Peak), 42V input synchronous step-down switching regulator. Its unique Silent Switcher® 2 architecture uses two internal input capacitors as well as internal BST and INTVCC capacitors to minimize the area of the hot loops. The LT8609S design dramatically reduces EMI/EMC emissions due to very well controlled switching edges, it’s internal construction with an integral ground plane and the use of copper pillars in lieu of bond wires. This improved EMI/EMC performance is not sensitive to … Read More → "42V, 2A/3A Peak (IOUT), Synchronous Step-Down Silent Switcher® 2 Delivers 93% Efficiency at 2MHz & Ultralow EMI/EMC Emissions"
