LT8636 42V, 5A/7A Peak Synchronous Step-Down Silent Switcher with 2.5µA Quiescent Current FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Silent Switcher ® Architecture The LT®8636 synchronous step-down regulator features n Ultralow EMI Emissions Silent Switcher architecture designed to minimize EMI n Optional Spread Spectrum Modulation emissions while delivering high efficiency at high switch- n High Efficiency at High Frequency ing frequencies. Peak current mode control with a 30ns n Up to 96% Efficiency at 1MHz, 12V minimum on-time allows high step-down ratios even at IN to 5VOUT n Up to 95% Efficiency at 2MHz, 12V high switching frequencies. IN to 5VOUT n Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.4V to 42V The LT8636’s ultralow 2.5µA quiescent current—with the n 5A Maximum Continuous, 7A Peak Transient Output output in full regulation—enables applications requiring n Ultralow Quiescent Current Burst Mode ® Operation highest efficiency at very small load currents. A CLKOUT n 2.5µA IQ Regulating 12VIN to 3.3VOUT pin enables synchronizing other regulators to the LT8636. n Output Ripple < 10mVP-P Burst Mode operation enables ultralow standby current n Fast Minimum Switch On-Time: 30ns consumption, forced continuous mode can control fre- n Low Dropout Under All Conditions: 100mV at 1A quency harmonics across the entire output load range, or n Forced Continuous Mode spread spectrum operation can further reduce EMI emis- n Adjustable and Synchronizable: 200kHz to 3MHz sions. Soft-start and tracking functionality is accessed n Output Soft-Start and Power Good via the TR/SS pin, and an accurate input voltage UVLO n Small 20-Lead 4mm × 3mm LQFN Package threshold can be set using the EN/UV pin. n AEC-Q100 Qualified for Automotive Applications All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
