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 VINsupply, the LT8603 produces three precisely regulated outputs even when the boost input voltage falls significantly below the regulated output voltages, such as during 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.ApplicationsAutomotive Stop-Start and Cold Crank Ride ThroughLast-Gasp CPU Power Hold-UpIndustrial Controls and Power Supplies
