Used in applications utilizing various input power sources

Analog Devices announced the release of the new LT8362, a current-mode 2MHz step-up DC/DC converter with a built-in 2A, 60V switch.

The new product operates in an input voltage range of 2.8V to 60V and can be used in applications utilizing various input power sources, ranging from single-cell lithium-ion batteries to automotive and industrial inputs. The LT8362 can be configured as a boost, SEPIC, or inverting converter.

The switching frequency is programmable between 300 kHz and 2 MHz, allowing designers to minimize the size of external components and avoid critical frequency bands such as AM radio. It provides a conversion efficiency of over 90% at a switching frequency of 2 MHz.

Burst mode operation lowers standby current consumption to 9µA while maintaining output ripple below 15mVP-P. This product is available in 3mm x 3mm DFN or high-voltage MSOP-16E packages and reduces solution costs while ensuring a very compact footprint because it integrates with small external components.

The LT8362's 165mΩ switch provides an efficiency of over 95%. This product also minimizes EMI issues through spread-spectrum frequency modulation. A single feedback resistor sets the output voltage regardless of whether the output is positive (+) or negative (-) and minimizes the number of pins. In addition to these features, the new product includes external synchronization, configurable low-voltage input protection, built-in soft start, frequency foldback, and programmable soft start capabilities.
