DESCRIPTION
The
LT
®
8603
is a highly flexible, quad output regulator
combining two high input voltage capable monolithic
step-down switching regulators, one low input voltage
capable monolithic step-down regulator, and a boost
controller to satisfy a wide range of applications while
occupying minimal board space.
With the boost controller configured to supply the chip
V
IN
supply, the LT8603 produces three precisely regulated
outputs even when the boost input voltage falls signifi-
cantly below the regulated output voltages, such as dur-
ing an automotive cold crank scenario. Alternatively, with
the boost controller driven from one of the step-down
regulator outputs or configured as a SEPIC, the LT8603
provides four precisely regulated outputs over a wide
input voltage range.
The LT8603 provides robust regulation by including a
cycle-by-cycle current limit for all step-down regulators,
thermal shutdown, and a boost controller that can tolerate
reverse battery connections and negative transient input
voltages down to –42V.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT8603E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT8603I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from –40°C
to 125°C junction temperature. High junction temperatures degrade
operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperatures
above 125°C.
Note 3:
Current limit is assured by design and/or correlation to static test.
Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycles.
Note 4:
Measurement made using the circuit titled, “Details of Front Page
Application” in the Typical Applications section.
Note 5:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during overload conditions. Junction temperature will
exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous
operation above the specified maximum junction temperature will
reduce lifetime.
