DESCRIPTION
LT8606
42V, 0.35A Micropower Synchronous
Step-Down Regulator
Demonstration Circuit 2564A is a 42V, 0.35A micropower
synchronous step-down regulator featuring the
.
The demo board is designed for 5V output from a 5.5V
to 42V input. The wide input range allows a variety of
input sources, such as automotive batteries and indus-
trial supplies. The LT8606 is a compact, high efficiency,
high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switch-
ing regulator that consumes less than 3μA of quiescent
current when output is regulated at 5V. Top and bottom
power switches, compensation components and other
necessary circuits are inside of the LT8606 to minimize
external components and simplify design.
The SYNC pin on the demo board is grounded by default
for low ripple Burst Mode
®
operation. Move JP1 to PULSE
SKIPPING position can change the operation mode to
pulse-skipping operation. Once JP1 is on SPREAD SPEC-
TRUM position, VCC is applied to the SYNC pin for low
EMI spread spectrum operation. To synchronous to an
external clock, move JP1 to SYNC and apply the external

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
clock to the SYNC turret. Figure 1 shows the efficiency
of the circuit.
The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The radiated
EMI performances of the board (with EMI filter) are shown
in Figures 2 and 3. The red/green lines in Figures 2 and
3 are CISPR25 Class 5 peak/average limit. To use the
EMI filter, the input should be tied to VEMI, not VIN. An
inductor L2, which is a 0Ω jumper on the board by default
now, can be added in the EMI filter to further reduce the
conducted emission.
The LT8606 data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, operation and application information. The data
sheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual
for DC2564A.
