LT8645S/LT8646S
65V, 8A Synchronous
Step-Down Silent Switcher 2
with 2.5µA Quiescent Current
DESCRIPTION
The
LT
®
8645S/LT8646S
synchronous step-down regulator
features second generation Silent Switcher architecture
designed to minimize EMI/EMC emissions while delivering
high efficiency at high switching frequencies. This includes
the integration of bypass capacitors to optimize all the fast
current loops inside and make it easy to achieve advertised
EMI performance by eliminating layout sensitivity. This
performance makes the LT8645S/LT8646S ideal for noise
sensitive applications and environments.
The fast, clean, low-overshoot switching edges enable
high efficiency operation even at high switching frequen-
cies, leading to a small overall solution size. Peak current
mode control with a 40ns minimum on-time allows high
step-down ratios even at high switching frequencies. The
LT8646S has external compensation via the V
C
pin to en-
able current sharing and fast transient response at high
switching frequencies. A CLKOUT pin enables synchroniz-
ing other regulators to the LT8645S/LT8646S.
Burst Mode
®
operation enables ultralow standby current
consumption, pulse-skipping mode allows full switching
frequency at lower output loads, or spread spectrum
operation can further reduce EMI/EMC emissions.

operating conditions.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during overload conditions. Junction temperature will
exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous
operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature
will reduce lifetime.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT8645SE/LT8646SE is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LT8645SI/LT8646SI is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range.
The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
in °C) and power dissipation (PD, in Watts) according to
the formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (PD •
θ
JA
)
where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package thermal impedance.
