Each channel of the LT8601 maintains a minimum dropout voltage of only 250mV at 1A under all conditions, and can overcome scenario conditions such as automotive cold cranking.

Programmable power-on reset and power good indicator functions for each channel improve overall system reliability. The LT8601's 40-pin thermally enhanced 6mm x 6mm QFN package and high switching frequency keep external inductors and capacitors small, providing a compact yet thermally efficient footprint.

The LT8601 incorporates three high-efficiency upper and lower power switches that integrate essential boost diodes, oscillators, control, and logic circuits onto a single die. Channel 1 operates 180º out of phase with Channels 2 and 3 to reduce output ripple.

Each channel features individual input pins for design flexibility, and most applications will drive directly from two high-voltage channels to one low-voltage channel, enabling a very simple high-frequency triple output design. For details, refer to www.linear.com/product/LT8601.
