The LT8638-2 synchronous step-down regulator features the Silent Switcher® architecture designed to minimize EMI emissions while delivering high efficiency at high switching frequencies. This performance makes the LT8638-2 ideal for noise sensitive applications and environments.
The fast, clean, low overshoot switching edges enable high efficiency operation even at high switching frequencies, leading to a small overall solution size. Peak current mode control with a 25ns minimum ontime allows high step down ratios even at high switching frequencies. External compensation through the VC pin allows for fast transient response. PolyPhase operation allows multiple LT8638-2 regulators to run with interleaving phase shift to provide more output current.
Burst Mode operation enables low standby current consumption, forced continuous mode can control frequency harmonics across the entire output load range, or spread spectrum operation can further reduce EMI emissions. Soft-start and tracking functionality is accessed through the SS pin, and an accurate input voltage UVLO threshold can be set using the EN/UV pin.
