LT8614 42V, 4A Synchronous Step-Down Silent Switcher with 2.5µA Quiescent Current FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Silent Switcher ® Architecture The LT®8614 step-down regulator features Silent Switcher n Ultralow EMI Emissions architecture designed to minimize EMI emissions while n High Efficiency at High Frequency delivering high efficiency at frequencies up to 3MHz. n Up to 96% Efficiency at 1MHz, 12VIN to 5VOUT Assembled in a 3mm × 4mm QFN, the monolithic con- n Up to 94% Efficiency at 2MHz, 12VIN to 5VOUT struction with integrated power switches and inclusion of n Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.4V to 42V al necessary circuitry yields a solution with a minimal PCB n Ultralow Quiescent Current Burst Mode® Operation: footprint. An ultralow 2.5µA quiescent current—with the n 2.5μA IQ Regulating 12VIN to 3.3VOUT output in full regulation— enables applications requiring n Output Ripple < 10mVP-P highest efficiency at very small load currents. Transient n Fast Minimum Switch On-Time: 30ns response remains excellent and output voltage ripple is n Low Dropout Under All Conditions: 125mV at 1A below 10mVP-P at any load, from zero to full current. n Safely Tolerates Inductor Saturation in Overload The LT8614 allows high VIN to low VOUT conversion at high n Adjustable and Synchronizable: 200kHz to 3MHz frequency with a fast minimum top switch on-time of 30ns. n Peak Current Mode Operation Operation is safe in overload even with a saturated inductor. n Accurate 1V Enable Pin Threshold n Internal Compensation Essential features are included and easy to use: An open- n Output Soft-Start and Tracking drain PG pin signals when the output is in regulation. The n Small 18-Lead 3mm × 4mm QFN SYNC pin allows clock synchronization and choice of Burst Mode operation or pulse-skipping mode. Soft-start and tracking functionality is accessed via the TR/SS pin. An APPLICATIONS accurate enable threshold can be set using the EN/UV pin n and a resistor at the RT pin programs switch frequency.
