Linear Technology Corporationannounces the LT8495, a current mode, fixed frequency SEPIC/boost dc-dc converter with an internal 2A, 70V switch. Ultralow quiescent current of only 9µA makes it well-suited for always on automotive systems, and its integrated power-on reset (POR) and watchdog timer offer enhanced system reliability required in automotive and industrial applications. The LT8495 starts up from an input voltage range of 2.5V to 32V, and once running, it operates from inputs of 1V to 60V, making it suitable for applications with input sources ranging from a single-cell Li-Ion to automotive inputs.
The LT8495 can be configured as either a boost, SEPIC or flyback converter. Its switching frequency is programmable via a single resistor between 250kHz and 1.5MHz, minimizing external component sizes. The combination of a thermally enhanced TSSOP-20E package and tiny externals ensures a very compact footprint while reducing solution cost.
