Demonstration circuit 2560A is a 18V, 10A synchronous step-down Silent Switcher®2 with spread spectrum frequency modulation featuring the LT8642S. The demo board is designed for 1.2V output from a 2.8V to 18V input. The LT8642S is a compact, ultralow emission, high efficiency, and high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator. The integrated bypass capacitors optimize all the fast current loops and make it easier to minimize EMI/EMC emissions by reducing layout sensitivity. Selectable spread spectrum mode can further improve EMI/EMC performance. Fast minimum on-time of 20ns enables high VIN to low VOUT conversion at high frequency. The LT8642S switching frequency can be programmed either via a resistor or external clock over a 200kHz to 3MHz range. The default frequency of demo circuit 2560A is 2MHz. The SYNC pin on the demo board is grounded (JP1 at BURST position) by default for low ripple Burst Mode® operation. To synchronize to an external clock, move JP1 to SYNC and apply the external clock to the SYNC terminal. Spread spectrum mode and forced continuous mode can be selected respectively by moving JP1 shunt. The demo board has an EMI filter installed. This EMI filter can be included by applying the input voltage at the VIN_ EMI terminal. The LT8642S 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 demo circuit 2560A. The LT8643S is assembled in a 4mm × 4mm LQFN package with exposed pads for low thermal resistance. The layout recommendations for low EMI operation and maximum thermal performance are available in the data sheet section Low EMI PCB Layout and Thermal Considerations.

Demonstration circuit 2753A features the LTM8074EY µModule regulator, a tiny high performance high efficiency step-down regulator with Silent Switcher® architecture. DC2753A has an operating input voltage range of 3.4V to 40V and is able to provide an output current of up to 1.2A. The output voltage can be programmed from 0.78V up to 15V.

Demonstration circuit 2918A is a 42V, 5A synchronous step-down SILENT SWITCHER with spread spectrum frequency modulation featuring the LT8636. The demo board is designed for 5V output from a 5.8V to 42V input. The wide input range allows a variety of input sources, such as automotive batteries and industrial supplies. The LT8636 is a compact, low emission, high efficiency, and high frequency synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator. The proprietary silent switcher architecture minimizes electromagnetic emissions with simplified filter and reduced layout sensitivity. Selectable spread spectrum mode further improves EMI performance, making it perfect solution to the noise sensitive applications. The regulator’s ultralow 2.5μA quiescent current with the output in full regulation enables applications requiring highest efficiency at very light load currents, such as automotive and battery powered portable instruments. Peak current mode control with minimum on-time of as small as 30ns allows high step-down conversion even at high frequency. The LT8636 switching frequency can be programmed either via oscillator resistor or external clock over a 200kHz to 3MHz range. The default frequency of demo circuit 2918A is 2MHz. The SYNC/MODE pin on the demo board 2918A is grounded (JP1 at BURST position) by default for low ripple Burst Mode® operation. To synchronize to an external clock, move the Jump JP1 to SYNC/FCM and apply the external clock to the SYNC terminal on the 2918A. In sync mode, the part runs in forced continuous mode. Without external clock applied, the SYNC/MODE pin is floating, and the part runs in forced continuous mode. This mode offers fast transient response and full frequency operation over a wide load range. Alternatively, move the Jump JP1 to the SPREAD-SPECTRUM, and the SYNC/MODE is tied to INTVCC, the part runs in forced continuous mode with spread spectrum function enabled. To get accurate efficiency measurement, measure the input voltage at the VIN_SENSE and GND terminals, which are Kelvin connected to the input cap C2 through signal traces. The LT8636 is assembled in a 4mmx3mm LQFN package with exposed pads for low thermal resistance. The rated maximum load current is 5A, while derating is necessary for certain input voltage and thermal conditions. The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The red line in Radiated EMI Performance is CISPR25 Class 5 peak limit. The circuit passes the test with a wide margin. To achieve EMI/EMC performance, the input EMI filter is required and the input voltage should be applied at VEMI terminal, and the setup can be referred to the CISPR 25 standards. The LT8636 datasheet gives a complete description of the part, operation and application information. The datasheet must be read in conjunction with this demo manual for demo circuit 2918A. The layout recommendations for low EMI operation and best thermal performance are available in the datasheet section Low EMI PCB Layout and Thermal Considerations and Peak Output Current.

Demonstration circuit 2535A is a 42V, dual channel, 2A synchronous step-down regulator featuring the LT8653S. The LT8653S is a compact, high efficiency, high speed synchronous monolithic step-down switching regulator which features the second generation Silent Switcher® technology that minimizes EMI and reduces PCB layout sensitivity. The demo board is designed for two outputs: 5V and 3.3V from a 5.5V to 42V input. Each output can source up to 2A continuous current at the same time. The wide input range allows a variety of input sources, such as automotive batteries and industrial supplies. The integrated power switches and other necessary circuitry reduce the external component count and simplify design. Selectable spread spectrum mode of operation can further improve EMI/EMC performance. Ultralow quiescent current in Burst Mode® operation achieves high efficiency at very light loads. The DC2535A demo board is 3" by 3" in size and has four layers with 2oz copper on the outer layers and 1oz copper on the inner layers. The DC2535A operates at 2MHz switching frequency by default to minimize solution size. The LT8653S is assembled in a small thermally enhanced 4mm × 3mm LQFN package. The IC temperature rises about 50°C when both channels operate at full load, 2A each, with the default switching frequency of 2MHz. The jumper JP2 on the demo board determines the configuration of the SYNC pin of the LT8653S. By default, the SYNC pin on the demo board is grounded for low ripple Burst Mode operation. Moving JP2 to FCM W/SSM enables the spread spectrum mode of operation by tying the SYNC pin to VCC pin. To synchronize to an external clock, move JP2 to FCM W/O SSM OR SYNC position and apply the external clock on the SYNC turret. The jumpers JP3 and JP4 on the demo board determine the configuration of the output voltage select bit pins D0 and D1. On the DC2535A, the D0 and D1 pins are by default floating. This combination connects internal feedback resistor divider between the FB1/FB2 pins and the error amplifier which means that FB1 and FB2 pins are regulated to 5V and 3.3V respectively. On the DC2535A, FB1/FB2 pins are by default connected through 0Ω resistors to the output nodes. Refer to the LT8653S data sheet for more information on the D0 and D1 pin settings. The demo board has an EMI filter installed. The EMI performance of the demo board (with EMI filter) is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. The black lines in Figure 2 are CISPR 25 class 5 limits. To achieve EMI/EMC performance as shown in Figure 2, the input EMI filter is required and the input voltage should be applied at VEMI terminal. The LT8653S data sheet gives a complete description of the part, operation and application information. The data sheet must be read in conjunction with this manual for demo circuit 2535A.
