LT8640/LT8640-1 42V, 5A Synchronous Step-Down Silent Switcher with 2.5µA Quiescent Current FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Silent Switcher ® Architecture The LT®8640/LT8640-1 step-down regulator features Si- n Ultralow EMI/EMC Emissions lent Switcher architecture designed to minimize EMI/EMC n Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation emissions while delivering high efficiency at frequencies up n High Efficiency at High Frequency to 3MHz. An ultralow 2.5µA quiescent current—with the n Up to 96% Efficiency at 1MHz, 12VIN to 5VOUT output in full regulation—enables applications requiring n Up to 95% Efficiency at 2MHz, 12VIN to 5VOUT highest efficiency at very small load currents. n Wide Input Voltage Range: 3.4V to 42V The LT8640/LT8640-1 al ows high V n IN to low VOUT conversion 5A Maximum Continuous Output, 7A Peak at high frequency with a fast minimum top switch on-time of Transient Output 30ns.
