The LT8641 step-down regulator features Silent Switcher architecture designed to minimize EMI/EMC emissions while delivering high efficiency at frequencies up to 3MHz. Assembled in a 3mm × 4mm QFN, the monolithic construction with integrated power switches and inclusion of all necessary circuitry yields a solution with a minimal PCB footprint. An ultralow 2.5μA quiescent current—with the output in full regulation—enables applications requiring highest efficiency at very small load currents. Transient response remains excellent and output voltage ripple is below 10mVP-P at any load, from zero to full current.

The LT8641 allows high VIN to low VOUT conversion at high frequency with a fast minimum top switch on-time of 35ns. Operation is safe in overload even with a saturated inductor.

Essential features are included and easy to use: An open-drain PG pin signals when the output is in regulation. The SYNC/MODE pin selects between Burst Mode, pulse-skipping, or spread spectrum mode, and also allows synchronization to an external clock. Soft-start and tracking functionality is accessed via the TR/SS pin. An accurate enable threshold can be set using the EN/UV pin and a resistor at the RT pin programs switch frequency.

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2373A is a 65V, 3.5A micropower synchronous step-down Silent Switcher® with spread spectrum frequency modulation featuring the LT8641. The demo board is designed for 5V output from a 5.5V to 65V input. The wide input range allows a variety of input sources, such as automotive batteries and industrial supplies. The LT8641 is a compact, ultralow emission, high efficiency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator that consumes only 2.5μA of quiescent current when output is regulated at 5V. Top and bottom power switches, compensation components and other necessary circuits are inside of the LT8641 to minimize external components and simplify design.
